How does that work at United? How many days, hours or minutes must one list at United before they can jumpseat on the flight?

DAL and UAL are an equal number of flights for jumpseat access for American and SWA, yet DAL and UAL pilots have to list prior while AAL and SWA pilots can walk up last minute, show ID and go...

As a previous poster stated, no carrier is going to rescind a jumpseat agreement with SWA and lose 4,000 flights per day for their own pilots on which to jump. Pretty dumb and/or uneducated assumption for a couple of posters here to believe anything else. Or, as usual, they just like bashing SWA and the fact that their not ALPA.

Hey douche...fairly certain your meatloaf is ready. Get outta your bathrobe and basement and go get some dinner.

Once again, play nice and I’ll give you a letter. Sorry it didn’t work out the first time around.

Once again the classiest of SWA enjoy the benefits of a real union (ALPA; KCM, CASS while paying dues to a inferior one. Guess who ends up paying for it at the SWA gate?)

But LUV pilots have meatloaf.... what a bunch of jacktards.

So is OAL jumpseat listing at the gate in the contract where u work, or is it just the way the reservation system works there? If you have good contract language, I’d love to see it. I can cut and paste it into the next blank sheet survey.

Since we don't have a way of listing with United we can list at gate when we show up. Wish it was that way everywhere. Not sure why it's not for everyone except for the idea it saves the gate agents time?

Seriously though we do have a problem when I get treated better at OAL than I do at my own. Not bashing, stating a point that we need to do better. And when I say we, I mean the organization. I've never seen pilots leave another pilot when there's seats available. But it's hard to get by the first barrier.

Yeah, I paid a lot of dues money to ALPA for over a decade of my life. I much prefer SWAPA now. I’ve experienced both, and I wouldn’t trade back to ALPA. Have you experienced both?
