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 may have prevented the regionals from flying the 51-76 seaters, but they never got them at mainline either, did they?
So, we're not really arguing about who will fly them, just whether we'll let the regionals fly them.

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

In general, I've found the rez agent won't volunteer the load info. So, I always end the call with, "how bad does it look"
Most will laugh and tell ya then.......Good luck, they are really good to work with

PS Call them later in the evening (after 8ish), if you try during the day you will be on terminal hold

From: on my way out
Well, this seems like a good number of posts for me to end on.
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.

So when does Delta begin to release the Kraken on the regionals flying 50 seaters? Monday?
