Frontier Jumpseat trouble
 

I'm trying to log on to ifc.id90 and all I get is a rotating circle of death that wont budge. I'm scrabbling to escape my snowstorm and Frontier is just about the last shot.

Anyone know how to wake up the website to make it work...

Major switch over the next 2 days to a new rez system. There's a travel embargo in place, but I don't know if it applies to offline commuting pilots.

Frontier Jumpseat trouble
 

Don't even try Frontier this weekend. My prediction is a major melt down of epic proportions. So in other words normal ops.

Frontier changing Sabre to Navitare and it will be a nightmare the next couple of days. Try to stay away from jumpseating on us until the 9th or 10th

Do you not have a JS committee to announce this?

They said they sent a memo to all the airlines Jumpseat committees. Sorry Mr Nut.

No they didn't...

There's a nonrev and jumpseat travel embargo on Frontier March 7 - 9 for online and offline employees. In response US Airways/American has put an embargo on F9 employees looking to ZED and jump with them. I'm sure there are other carriers doing the same. Hopefully it'll be back to normal starting the 10th.

I think the memo stated that Frontier had contacted the pass departments of other airlines with reciprocal agreements. I don't know if our jumpseat committee sent anything out..

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.

Travel embargo for jumpseaters lifted. Gate agents are supposed to list OAL's as well as F9 jumpseaters. March7th-9th

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."
