Last week when I was jumpseating to work, sitting in the cockpit J/S when a Jet Blue Flight Attendant came up to the cockpit, in uniform, to introduce herself to the Capt.
The agent had given her an empty seat in coach, but I was not aware that we can take off-line F/A's as 'jumpseaters', that's the first time I've ever seen it. Can our F/A's jumpseat on JB or SWA or AA or...?
And what if the plane had been full, can an off line F/A ride in one of our F/A jumpseats? This also brings up the old 'you're not trained on the doors' excuse for not allowing pilots to ride in off-line F/A jumpseats.
Are offline F/A's allowed to JS on us or did the gate agent just do her a favor?

I thought we were past all this BS? We're one awesome company that's the product of 2 great companies. I'm finally not worried about my paycheck disappearing and I'm proud to be here and proud to work with you guys.
A unified pilot group is probably the greatest gift we can give ourselves at this point.

Yes, the OAL flight attendants can ride on us. No, they really are not "jumpseating" but actually using an ID-0 pass. There has to be an empty seat and they get boarded last, behind the most junior S-4. They do not have to ask permission as they are in fact non-revving. It is a reciprocal agreement between airlines. All this is buried in the FOM and DeltaNet. Helps to be married to a FA.

As others have said, yes, other airline FAs can jumpseat on us and Delta FAs can jumpseat on them. But only in passenger seats. Search DLnet for "Flowback" and you'll see everyone who can. It's a long list - 18 airlines.
I don't think I've ever run into an offline FA jumpseater though.

Thanks for the ingo, good to know, first time I'd ever seen it.
Oh, and on the 'how hot was she' thing, I only got a quick look at the top half as she just stuck her head in the door to say Hi, but I've found if you just turn the lights off they're all hot!
Or as we said in the military, a TDY 10! (a four and a sixpack)

TOKYO (AP) — ANA is ordering 70 aircraft with a list price of 1.7 trillion yen ($17 billion) from Boeing Co. and Airbus, in the largest order in the Japanese carrier's history.
Thursday's orders underline ANA's ambition to become one of the world's leading airlines as well as Japan's tourism drive leading up to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The country is aiming to boost overseas visitors to 20 million a year.
Boeing is the major beneficiary of the deal, but Airbus said the latest orders show it is making inroads in an important market. The Japanese government and manufacturers have historically had a close relationship with Boeing, and Europe's Airbus did not score a major order with ANA rival Japan Airlines until last year.
The jets, being delivered over 11 years from 2016, will increase the ANA fleet to 250 aircraft.

Absolutely the best merger possible considering how it has shaken out for our peers at other airlines. To a man, every North guy I have flown with has been fantastic.
Two great pilot groups, now one team with a lot of potential. If we can wake up before the clock runs out, we could get a great contract next year.
