Thanks guys.

Signed up online, on the website there are three buttons: Standby list, cabin, cockpit. My listing doesn't show under cockpit. It shows up under standby list, and there is a red P next to my name.

Is that normal for an OAL pilot jumpseat listing?

It's -4/182 but I already bought the wife/kids tickets on this flight.

Strange how we can't just have one portal for all our needs. Hope this works for you. Otherwise google Spirit Jumpseat and the link should popup. Look at the bottom of the page. Good luck.

Gate Agents are not responsible for knowing the FOM, it’s not their manual. Their manual, the SOM, spells out jumpseat priorities and procedure. I had to personally reference this for an agent one time when a fellow Spirit pilot tried to snag the jump from me by claiming because he filled out the jump seat form first, the jumpseat was his, even though I listed online 72 hours prior.

For NK pilots, if you list first online but another NK pilot lists after but checks in before you (on the app or a the gate) the seat is still yours, correct?

Just finished training and new to 121, only jumped twice and have been nervous to lose the seat getting to and from.

For spirit pilots only. For offline it’s who checks in (Shows up) first at the gate.

Oh ok. So as long as that shows +1/1, that means no NK pilot has listed for that flight? I’ll keep an eye on it.

I always screen shot the listing, showing my name as the only name on the jumpseat, because I’ve seen our pilots do some bush league stuff on listings. I had one pilot,who was going to training, volunteer to take the jump to get a revenue passenger on, after I was already listed for the jumpseat. It was surreal, like in what universe does a pilot knowingly volunteer to bump the jumpseat listed pilot, when he is positive space travel to training?!
