LOL, no. All using one does is put you ahead of the S3's. However, those S3's that were ahead of you almost always also have S2's, and can change quickly to that. Its not uncommon to see 20+ people standing by for 2 seats, all 20 of which burned an S2 in a war of attrition. Sometimes people even wait til the last minute to list, to see if they want to use an S2 or S3, so they don't even show up on the standby list until almost time to board.
S2's can help in some situations sometimes, but they are nowhere remotely close to positive space.

Jumpseat reservations can be made online or via an automated phone system starting at 1200 Eastern with the following lead times:
Traveling TO work: 5.5 days in advance
Traveling FROM work: 3.5 days in advance
Personal travel: 1.5 days in advance
This arrangement removes a LOT of the commuting stress one would otherwise have if seniority ruled the jumpseat (like it does at some other airlines).

You can check in for your NRSA listing as well as hold the reservation for the JS. Just don't wait more than 15 minutes before departure to grab your JS, or it is subject to be released.

Actually you can. But you have to list for the JS first. If you have a NRSA listing in the system the system won't allow you to book the JS.....but if you get your JS listing first then go back in and make a NRSA listing!
