jumpALERT allows participating flight crews to check whether or not potential jumpseater(s) are at the gate needing a ride. jumpALERT solves the problem of gate agents not notifying a flight crew that a pilot is at the gate and stranding the pilot. jumpALERT is not a listing tool, you still list for a jumpseat using traditional methods. You create an Alert on jumpALERT.

So then, if the captain didn't make the walk, you're waving from the gate trying to get their attention in the cockpit... Or discreetly asking a passenger to tell the flight attendant to tell the captain that there is a jumpseater trying to get on. Both of these methods, plus a helpful captain, have saved my bacon before. So I can understand why someone created this app, but I doubt it'll be used enough to be useful.
