I know for certain JetBlue's j/s committee wasn't pre-informed.

Hoping the lack of communication about this is due to it not applying to those jumpseating/commuting, just employee non revs. You'd just have to list at the gate, where on a normal day the outsourced agents are totally overwhelmed, let alone the day they're switching platforms. Good times.

I gotta give them credit. With the exception of a few minor delays, they actually pulled this thing off.

So can non F9 pilots list for the JS now? I'm looking to catch a flight today and don't want to show up early if it's not going to work.

Please see post #13 above. Embargo has been lifted, and you should be good to go.

I was very lucky initially the crew working the gate couldn't get the new computer software figured out. I stayed chatting with another Captain though and while doing so the person in charge of training the base on the new program was able to list me.

From an internal communication:

"Jumpseat Requests on Frontier ARE available!

Frontier is changing gate software this weekend from Sabre to Navitaire.

Non-revenue travel on Frontier is UNavailable Saturday, March 7 - Monday, March 9.

Frontier and other airline pilots, flight attendants and dispatchers ARE ALLOWED to jumpseat during Navitaire cutover.

Since bookings/listings cannot be done in ID90, gate agents will have to manually list jumpseaters for flights through March 9, 2015.

If any of your jumpseaters are told they are not allowed to Jumpseat, tell gate agents to refer to the their PNP briefing and Quick Reference 80.10 Jumpseat."
