Jumpseating on Skywest (UA side)
 

I've jumpseated on Skywest numerous times, but this week will be the first time since United has changed the OMC policies and listing procedures. Does this even affect Skywest? It will be out of LAX which is a Skywest (not United) station. What do I have to do to ensure that I get on? Our employee non rev page says we have to make a listing online but the page it links to only works for KLM and Frontier.

I fly for a UAX carrier and I haven't seen anything about a new jumpseat policy for a few months. The only thing I do know is that this weekend is the weekend that UAL changed to SHARES reservations system so they are experiencing some issues and are strongly discouraging non-rev travel this weekend. Sorry if that wasn't too helpful, but thats all I've seen.

The priorities have not changed, but the procedure has. The CS software no longer has the correct priorities.

There's a manual form you will need to fill out and present to CS. They may expect you to have listed online, but most OALs can't use that feature yet so you will have to tap-dance around that.

I did it this morning and it was almost "business as usual." the gate agent had a little trouble putting it in the system (just because it was a new entry). No problem though.

What a disaster that has been...:cool:
