How do they get the loads so accurately?


It sends your request out to other users from that airline. You get a token or a coin if you answer the request and it costs a token/coin to ask. You can also buy tokens/coins from the app.

I did the same recently. HUGE improvement over what it was a few years ago when I quit using it. Members of staff traveler are all airline employees. Its user sourced info. For example, if you are an NK Employee you answer other peoples requests for load info about NK flights. You also get “credit” for that. So people at other airlines with login for their non rev systems do the same. You can then use those credits to request loads yourself. Otherwise its like 10 cents a load request if you want to buy “credits”

It's a great app. Usually I can get loads in under a minute during regular hours. Just answer some requests when you are bored on your overnights. I think I have around 210 credits or something. Really makes commuting a lot easier.

How does OAL priority for a NK jumpseat?

Looks like I can list online for the jumpseat 3 days in advance. Does that make first priority? Or is it at time of gate checkin, in which case the online listing procedure timing doesn’t help? I know for JetBlue it’s the first guy who checks in online exactly 24 hrs prior. Curious how NK does it.

Thank you

Checking in exactly 72 hours in advance is the earliest you can list for an NK jumpseat. That is what establishes your relative priority. As OAL you would be guaranteed ahead of any other OAL pilots, but NK pilots could still bump you even if they list after you.

For NK pilots its first to list but OAL jumpseaters its first to check in at the gate according to the FOM.

Only truth to this is that NK has priority. Listing time of OAL is meaningless; it's time of checkin at the gate that established OAL priority on the list

Show me a gate agent that’s read the FOM. Show me the percentage of captains that know this and/or care enough to enforce it.

You think that’s what his post is about? If our agent or CA is following the FOM? He’s just pointing out where the info of the priority came from. He’s right. It’s based in which offline pilot checks at the gate first. That’s because Spirit no longer allow offline pilots to check in online, and the system doesn’t allow it unlike Spirit employees who can check in online. It’s in the FOM to clear up and confusion when it comes to jumpseat priority.
