Per the Bulletin that came out on 3/7 regarding the new jumpseat form OAL pilots can occupy a cabin jumpseat if there are no cabin seats available. Its right there on the form.

Cool. I can’t imagine this would happen more than a couple times a year (maybe even less). I mean we don’t oversell and probably close to half our fleet, has 2 cockpit jumpseats, I would feel it’s an extreme circumstance to have to actually seat someone in a cabin jumpseat.

Long story short, you don’t have to stress too much if your commuting on us. I would say the only time would be our medium sized markets that go into LAS and LAX who, obviously, have bases for most legacies and LCCs. Going to SFB or PIE? Yeah don’t even stress about it. You’ll get on.

That’s one thing I like about us. My first year I used all of my guest passes. Never had an issue with any of them not getting on (or cutting it close).

I'm looking to jumpseat tomorrow on Allegiant 1336 from CVG to AUS.

I've never jumped with Allegiant so I have a question or two.

I'm coming back from a long training period, so I've got a medium sized duffle bag, winter coat, and a laptop in addition to the normal rollerboard and small bag.

I'm consolidating as best I can, but I have to ask: will the extra duffle make jumpseating on Allegiant problematic?

I used to be in tune with J/S etiquette, so I imagine I'll be loading up after all the paying pax—a cumbersome situation if I can't gate check one of my bags.

Any advice or insight?

I wouldn't have a problem with it. The crews should show an hour before flight at gate. Try to beat them there and discuss with them.
