How do I tell if there's a jetBlue pilot ahead of me? There is one other S8X above me and 2 S8X.

18 open seats as of now so I should be okay, but still wondering.

S3 is super pass
S4 is JB employee
S4w JB Pilot
S4x JB FA
S5 jetblue family w/o employee
S6 buddy pass
S8w oal Pilot
S8x oal fa

Regardless of what lie or half truth the chief pilots put out, if you are going to work and you clean, your duty starts then, not at report time. That is the LAW and you are legally liable. It's your license, not JBs. JB is not liable for your breaking the FARs, regardless of what "policies" they have. The FAA put out their legal interpretation and it does not favor JBs practices. They are counting on your ignorance. Clean, but duty on early and screw up your pairing. It's the law.

I get paid to fly an airplane, it's well below my pay grade.

All S8s are basically in order of checkin starting 24 hr prior, correct? And that anytime after that, jetBlue S4s checking in will always go above me. So as an OAL, me checking in as close to 24 hrs prior is in order to secure the highest "seniority" amongst OAL riders on jetBlue.

Sounds right?

The only small edit that I would make is that S4W is for anyone who is approved to sit in the flight deck, not just pilots. So some Tech Ops and all Dispatchers are also S4W. That doesn't mean that they have priority over a JB pilot in the Flight Deck. The priority in the FOM is always controlling.

Also B6 FAs have priority on cabin jumpseats over B6 Pilots, regardless of check in order.

Correct. Now interesting thing is the FA jumpseat is by pilot seniority as well. I’m not sure I agree with that one. Especially after missing a commute that’s to a guy helping out the company and than taking the FA jumpseat to get back home. Oh well.
