I’m not sure why AS didn’t adopt the online listing VX had for jumpseaters. Actually, I’m not sure why AS didn’t take in a lot of VX’s new age technology. I guess living in the dinosaur era is how you beat the competition, including beating your employees down too.

I think walking up and listing is better. Too many times there’s been a gate agent on a power trip telling OAL pilots they have to list online and that it’s not possible to list at the gate, which is total BS. There was a VX gate agent that used to tell pilots there was no way the system would allow him to list OAL guys at the gate and turn them away. When we would tell him to list the pilot now, suddenly that option became available. Luckily the dbag retired.

I'm wondering what the advantage of online listing is. Seems like more of a hassle to have to list than to just show up at the gate. Have been burned when not getting on a non-rev flight and rushing to another flight to see if I could jumpseat only to be turned down due to missing the computer listing deadline (off-line). Is there some advantage like reserving the jumpseat from the system VX had?

I haven't ever done an Alaska Airlines W&B but I'd guess that average passengers weights are used, and part of the assumptions that the average passenger weight is based upon is compliance with the carry-on baggage restrictions. I know that a few years ago there was a push at the FAA to more accurately account for baggage in W&B calculations. So if you're going to publish a policy which exempts some passengers from the carry-on baggage limits, I'd imagine that you'd have to get approval from the FAA for that.
