Dont commute.

What does “reserve the jumpseat” mean. (Non commuter here). What if it’s an MCO-JfK flight with 10 commuting pilots and 1JS?

This is not correct. Review CBA 5.P.2.
At WN, a pilot must have two flight opportunities (online OR offline) to arrive before scheduled report time. Alternatively, if solely traveling online, one flight is enough IF you are scheduled to arrive one hour prior to report. We cannot reserve the jumpseat; it is first come-first served starting at one hour prior to departure. No seniority is involved. Thanks for the correction! |

FDX, can reserve JS 21 days out. Protected if you’re company mental going into a trip with a couple exceptions like duty day, international trip.
But most of us who commute just bid and fly deadhead trips with paid tickets to/from the trip. If you’re going to commute, there’s no other place you should consider. Commuted at UAL as well, that on the other hand was absurd. Seniority based JS until time of departure was crazy to me. |

NK:
Book JS 3 days out. Two flights required, both need to get you there before your trip, can leave at the same time, no need to look at loads/weather/anything. If you don’t get on your first option call CS, they have the option to buy PS. Don’t get on your last option call CS, they can take you off your trip without pay, get you on later flight for your trip or put you on reserve for the length of your trip. Can use commute policy as often as needed without repercussions. No refunds/hotels. Don’t think any mayor does hotel, only some ACMI have home basing. |

I'm pretty sure AA has the best commuter policy. You can reserve the Jumpseat a week out on own metal. There is no requirement to have a backup flight to use the commuter policy. AA will pay for parking at your home airport. I think there are some restrictions, but when I commuted it was covered.
Yes at AA you can call in stuck commuting, but you won’t get paid. I’d rather get there... |
