Default DAL Jumpseats

Hey guys,

Can a CASS qualified off-line pilot list for a jumpseat with us ahead of time ?
Many thanks......

I don't think so. Only DAL online pilots can 'book' the jumpseat. Offline pilots can get it if there are no DAL pilots ahead at the gate. When I jumpseat on DAL, I always try to accommodate offline guys/gals by taking the FA jumpseat. Only DAL pilots can sit in a DAL FA jumpseat.

Nope, Walkup only. We have a priority system here. It is basically DAL, some DCI, other DCI and then OAL. Best bet is to be at the gate early.

Some of the bigger jets have two JS's. Some 757's and larger.

One of our smaller jets have two jumpseats too (the 126-seat A-319).

You can barely fit the two pilots into the 737 cockpit. The 737 cockpit jumpseat was designed by Dick Cheney as a prototype torture device.

Same can be said for any plane with an "rj" at the end of it. But any seat that gets me to and from work is a good one.

Had a 767 FO offer to do that for me from ATL-PHX so I could catch up with the family already on vacation. I couldn't thank the guy enough, especially after finding out he just got off of his trans-atlantic crossing. If it was you, thanks again!
