Jumpseating on XJT
 

I'm planning to jumpseat on a couple XJT flights operated for CAL. Do I need to list in advance like on Frontier, or do I just show up at the gate and have the agent there list me?

You have to list at the gate since I have found they can not list you over the phone or on COAIR (if you are a CAL carrier.) Just go to the gate and they will give you a jumpseat form and verify CASS.

Thanks for the quick response!

Nobody requires pre-listing...

Yep, only way to do it is at the gate. We do have a cabin jumpseat, which we can use as ExpressJet pilots, but I don't think other airline (OAL) pilots can use it. I think FA's from other airlines that have agreements with our FA's can use it , but I couldn't find anything in our ops manual that permits OAL pilots. Best bet is to contact our jumpseat committee or yours, because those agreements always change and the jumpseat section of our ops manual hasn't been updated in over a year.

Where is the cabin jumpseat located??

.... right in front of the toilet :p

have fun getting up and down the whole flight as people use it :D

That is craziness...who would have thought of a Jumpseat there on the JungleJet?! Wonder why they don't all have 'em...Our TSA birds certainly didn't LoL

yeah go figure. I just wonder if it was pre-weight mod idea or post-weight mod idea. Because I can't really see it being used with 50 passengers + 50 bags + 1 cockpit jumpseater without the weight mods we have on the 145's. But, it has gotten me home before even when an alternate required. Heaviest I've ever seen the plane.

Yeah, I've had some Xjet flight attendants try to get on our cabin jumpseat. They're rather confused to find out we don't have one...
