Pass travel/jumpseat
So I have Delta pass travel through my spouse and I work at another airline. Had spouse list me as S3B but flight was pretty full so I listed for jumpseat (OAL obviously) and the gate agent was giving me grief about having the two listings. I understand that DL pilots can reserve the jumpseat and if you do that you are not supposed to have a pass travel listing for same flight but that was not the case here. Was I in the wrong or was that kosher?

This is only for us on us. Dci can put their name in the hat for the JS and gate agents just add their name to the bottom of the list. Especially because they can't reserve and can be bumped by a mainline or operating airline pilot. Same with us on DCI. You'll have two listings at the gate.

Once I was second on nonrev list and a senior captain was listed for js but also as nonrev under his senior mamas fa benes. There was one seat left at about d-20 when she called his name out. He said what’s the seat. She said middle Econ comfort he said ok then can you cancel my js res. The agent was frustrated and told him that wasn’t correct. He told her to **** off and walked down to his seat. I got the js in the end. He looked real close to retirement so don’t think he cared two bits about what the fom said or an agent thought.
Here's what I do. "Hey, I'm listed as a non-rev but I'd be happy to take the JS if you need it to get everyone on." I've never once gotten a bad attitude about it or any other reaction that wasn't thanking me.
Also, if he was S3B, wouldn't that be a regional carrier?
