Delta Jumpseat Question
I am looking to jumpseat on DAL from DTW-NRT and am with United and in CASS. Can I just go to the gate and ask for the jumpseat and as long as there is a seat in the back...get on? Anything else I have to do for international jumpseat on Delta, and is there a limit on how many jumpseat riders you can take.
Thanks
Thanks

I think DTW-NRT is set up as a 4 pilot op. so both j/s will already be booked for the relief crew, not sure if you can j/s on that, even if there are seats open in the back. It makes no sese but I don't write the rules.
I'll ask the experts and get back to you.
If it were a 3 pilot op, I think you could 'j/s' but only in a seat in the back. I'll check the staffing on the flt. and see if it's 3 or 4.

I could be REALLY wrong, but I believe you can jumpseat as long as there's a seat somewhere in the cabin. Getting home might be a bit more difficult if the station doesn't understand what you're trying to do...
Again, I could be REALLY wrong about this, have never done it, but I work for a DCI carrier.

-1 in the back
You would be #9 assuming everybody goes before you.

It's a 13:35 leg, 4 pilots.
I'm still waiting to hear back from our J/S guru on if an offline can J/S on it...

That particular flight shows an extra Capt, a LCA giving a TOE.
Do they typically let one F/O go home, if there are 5 seats up there?
