I completely forgot that was an option. It was wonderful at the AA regional I worked for. Especially convenient for when you wanted to be a nice guy and offer to take jump to get more non revs on. Then when you weren’t used you sat in a decent seat and boarded early with your bags and with people you were traveling with.

That way when I forget to improve my company assigned last row, non-reclining, middle seat on 757-3 because I'm exhausted from a 7 day trip with 30+ yrs..... I won't walk past an economy comfort full of DL and Connection Pilots and FAs none of whom are 30 yrs old. After being badgered by the Capt and Gate agent to ride the jumpseat... Because of course they couldn't ask the other 9 people? True story. OFG

Funny how with all this technology listing for both in order of both is actually harder/not allowed. Back when it was a paper slip for the JS, dual listing was common easy and transparent. List in the back as normal, then put your paper slip in the stack at the counter and they quickly sorted by company then DOH. It was never an issue back then, but now is suddenly some insurmountable sacred cow issue that threatens to ignite brushfires in the minds of the proletariat and cause gear grinding dissent among the other work groups.

Question: Reserve month to Line month. I have the last two days of July on reserve and a trip that starts on the 2nd of August. Can I yellow slip a 4 day trip, and get that trip in August to drop? Also, will I receive flight hours and credit for August for the flying done on the 1st and the 2nd from the trip I yellow slipped?

Thx,
Humboldt

No, I don't believe that will work. If you had no trip on the 2nd, you could YS and get pay/credit for the 2 days in August paid on top of your August schedule.

But I am pretty sure CS will see the August trip and not give you the trip.

I thought the automation would prevent this anyway? Is that not the case?

I don’t know of any way to see this in advance and call them on it. So I just say thanks a lot and take their leftovers.

This is actually legal to do. What you can’t do:
Non rev list on multiple flights same city pair
Non rev list and Jumpseat list on the same flight
Multiple Jumpseat listings on same city pairs. This would include listing on one in Lga and one in Jfk

Thanks for the clarification.

Duh. It was done to me and a bunch of others.

It did not a few years ago. I don’t know about today.

Interesting hearing that. At UAL we can’t reserve the JS so it’s actually considered a d-bag move to NOT list for both. JS is Cap’s discretion but it is seniority based unless there is an underlying reason why the Capt doesn’t want someone in it. IE Scab etc.

By listing for both, commuters have a better idea who is and is not JS eligible to be see the actual chances of getting on. Same goes for FAs.
