Delta OAL international jumpseat?
 

Did Delta stop allowing other airline pilots jump seating internationally. I mean with an open seat in the back. A ticket agent in JFK told me that over the holidays. Our js guy says they do. Just wondering if any of you guys know the official answer. The time they told me that I had to cab to EWR and catch UAL.

Thanks in advance.

No changes. You need to be checked in or have a listing 74 minutes prior for TSA purposes. You also need to pay any customs and immigration fees at the ticket counter. You can't walk up to the departure gate.

Thanks. Must a have been a new ticket agent. Or they just weren't in the mood. I always check in at the ticket counter when overseas jumping.

I just brought two Jet Blue pilots back to JFK from Tel Aviv last Friday, one of them even got the last business class seat. I think you got a rogue agent.

Thought it was 90 minutes before departure for check in.

I've had some say the computer shows not Jumpseat eligible, which is true for the physical Jumpseat. I've had to explain from that.

Correct. Some agents take that literally but it is referring to the actual cockpit jumpseat. I've had this pop up with OAL jumpseaters the most at some of the outstations (RDU, PIT, PHL). If you get a chance to talk with the crew we can usually sort out a rogue/misinformed agent. It seems to be relatively simple to trick the computer into thinking you're a standard NRSA and flowing you into a cabin seat. Higher rates of success if you can get a red coat/supervisor involved.

75 minutes for an international jumpseat reservation/check-in.
60 minutes for an international non rev reservation.

Sorry to revive a dead thread.
Can anyone recommend the best way to do this as an OAL requesting a jumpseat out of Atlanta? Special service counter outside security? Or how should I do this- trying to get to CDG. Thanks in advance!

Refer to your JS guide via your union. Discussing policies and procedures of JS is strictly forbidden on here

It actually specifically says it *is* permitted as OAL international pilots can't even jumpseat. Hence why I read the rules in advance. The boilerplate stuff really isn't very useful in this case. I'm effectively asking about standby lists at this point.

So then you already have your answer. Thanks

Weird to not understand using a jumpseat agreement for cabin seats

I understand it. JS policy and procedures are not permitted to be discussed here, regardless of if it's cabin or cockpit

Jeez. This isn't a hard question nor some SSI stuff. He just needs to know who to talk to!

Talk to the customer service counter either inside or outside of security. You should already know "how" to sign up for a jumpseat. One caveat on int'l is you need to sign up >90 minutes in advance. And yes you're not allowed in the cockpit so really it's just non-revving OAL.

Seriously. People act like we’re give cockpit door codes here or something. The official ALPA website literally spells out every detail of the cockpit jumpseating procedure for the whole world to see. Don’t tell the bad guys though….

Thanks for helping the guy out rather than berating him

You are correct, so you get a star for the day. Along with the star however, you get a tool of the day award.

I've been banned before for discussing it. The mods here don't mess around. Not my rule.

It's been a few years since I've been OAL but I went to the customer service counter inside security in the E concourse in ATL

While I am sympathetic to your argument, the extreme Delta bias of the moderators is a well known phenomenon.

Why didn’t you just PM the guy if you were worried about being banned?

Therefor, the TOTD the ruling still stands.

Also, given the preponderance of evidence presented here, you are most assuredly an ATL based pilot.

Make sure you report me for sending him to the customer service counter, Ms. Hall Monitor.

What if I said NYC based and I don't wear a hat

I would laugh…I’m only giving you a hard time anyway.
