Hey Guys,

Completely off the subject of the TA.....I heard that we can "non-rev" on SWA. Is that the same thing as jumpseating? If not, how do we go about it? Plz send me a PM with some details. I'm flying right now but need to fly out to meet my family and drive them home.

Thanks guys.

They've already shown how it's done. CAL ALPA for all of it's warts, never gave in to a single jet over 51 seats.

Sort of. I jumpseat on them a lot to go to the mil gig and what you have to do is call reservations and list for the flight (as a non-rev) before you walk up to the counter and ask for the jumpseat. If there is a seat in the back, they will give it to you otherwise it's the jumpseat. But the key here is to list for the flight before you get to the gate, otherwise the gate agents get ****ed.

Do you list by calling their JS number? I can't find any other way.

And, how do you see the availability? By asking the res agent?

Well, this seems like a good number of posts for me to end on. :D

It's really been a pleasure chatting with you good folks. From Denny and FIIGMO up in the northwest, to Buzz and Uncle Ferd in the southwest, to FTB and Clamp in the southeast, to Scambo and NewK in the northeast and everyone else in between, you guys are a really good bunch. I've learned a lot and laughed a helluva lot! End of cheerleading before somebody revokes my man card.

But since there's this persistent talk of another possible merger, I wanted to leave you with some strategy points regarding any seniority list integration. And I wanted to deliver them like my buddy FTB might do. So...if the airline we end up with is:

Alaska - Bros Before Eskimos


Hawaiian - Bubbas Before Bruddas


Air France:

Dogs Before Frogs

American - Van Admirals Before Admiral's Clubs


Republic - Widgets Before Midgets


And for anyone who doesn't want their a$$e$ kicked - "NewK Before Anyone"

I hope the very best for all of us, and that this contract works out well. I also hope that DAL88Driver and Orvil continue to be way smarter than me, Clamp gets to perform his first "magic carpet ride", acl gets to run the union someday, Boomer gets hired and Bucking Bar flies nothing but Boeings from here on out.

I'll come back to lurk when I can

Over and out.
