Don’t know about you but I read he had two listings from his initial post. How he got those two listings is irrelevant.

And the situation I'm describing is the exact same scenario. In order to clear you in CASS, that have to list you on the Jumpseat. Most gate agents are happy to do that if it gets more people on.

 

I don't think its a good thing. Many years ago you could list in back and fill out a paper JS pass on mainline or DCI, although mainline was slower to get unlimited "flowback". That was lower tech than what we have today but it worked far better and was easier for the gate agents too. All they had to do was stack the JS slips in order (they were very easy to put in order with a quick glance) and everyone who could get on got on.

You could even fill out a JS slip "if needed" where if you wanted to be nice to get another non revver on who couldn't JS and the plane was going to leave without the JS full you could volunteer to take it to help them out.

Now suddenly with all the tech (ikr) common and easy things like that are now scandalous. I've heard AA (I think, maybe its someone else) has a "dual listing" procedure that works well.

 

But what happens if that's at the last minute? You won't have the ability to logon and cancel your non-rev res, so its up to them to do it and what if they don't. Now you're a rogue dual lister etc.

 

Go back and reread what you said. It is not the same. Having two listing (jumpseat and nonrev) on one side then having one listing (nonrev) and going to the agent and saying you will take the jumpseat to get another person on are two different scenarios. One a no no and two the right thing to do.

Those are the exact same things just said a different way. If you reserve the JS and book a non rev hoping to get a better seat, that's one thing. That guy can't even do that. Either way you slice it, in the system it looks identical.

 

He made a non rev reservation and then actually listed for the JS at the gate...he did NOT do as you suggested and tell the agent "if you need me too, I will take the Jumpseat." Not the same thing.

Frankly I don't really care about it.
