Called Scheduling and was told that the XCM Desk is no longer manned since we can book it online.
I asked how pilots are supposed to book deadhead tickets for deviating on the backend.
Scheduler told me that in the near future we will have the capability to book that online, but its not available yet. Until its available we have to call Crew Scheduling to book a ticket.
Then I saw this tidbit in Trim Tab
Pilots eligible for expanded jumpseat booking windows (i.e. - Instructors, Line Check Pilots, etc.) must call the Jumpseat Desk (404-XXX-XXXX) or Chief Pilot Support Center (800-XXX-XXXX) to take advantage of those options. Neither the VRU nor the on-line iCrew jumpseat systems are currently capable of identifying pilots eligible for booking windows other than the standard. The on-line system will be updated later this year to identify expanded windows.
I know CPSC is still there, but is there a Jumpseat Desk with a live person or not?
There is. You can not input in your info in the VRU and itll give you an option for the jumpseat desk (for offline guys). I think it's also the same person that is the sign-in desk.
Like our manuals, one subject one place, right?
