Also, Why do you guys defend your jumpseat booking policy so much? Just admit that ours, combined with our call in honest policy is far superior.

4 1/2 days or 3 1/2 days to book a jumpseat? What happens if you pick up a trip that leaves a day later? Do you have to cancel the jumpseat? What happens if you have to call off of a trip because of a family emergency? Can you still use that jumpseat that you booked for work to go to the emergency?

Sometimes the simplest system is the best one.
New,
The jumpseat booking system actually works pretty good. It favors guys going to work over guys going home/personal travel. Since you guys have trips longer than 4 days maybe we will have to tweak the sytem. If you are not going to use the J/S to work then you should cancel it so another can use it if needed. As far as emergencies go once you have the seat its yours, but this is probably a good question for the J/S rep.
