Help listing as a commuter
Fedex guy here. Trying to make a listing on myidtravel.com to jumpseat on Alaska. After I input the flight leg I’m trying to get on, it says that there are “no selectable flights”. Anyone know what the issue is?

Jumpseaters don’t have any way of listing in advance online. If you want to JS on Alaska, list at the gate.
OAL AS jumpseating procedures are literally the exact same as Delta or United. There is no way for an online OAL pilot jumpseat listing.

Just because they don't need to check in doesn't mean you no longer have authority over their access as a CA. The policy is to reduce distractions and congestion, but you as CA can refuse someone who used flight deck jumpseat procedures to list for the flight (even if cleared in the back cabin).
