It seems this determines your position for the jumpseat.
So why even list online? |

Up until a few years ago, a offline pilot you could check in online. Who ever checks in online or in person first got the Jumpseat (as long as no Spirit pilot already took the JS). We would have pilots check in online and no show, while other offline pilots waited to at the gate to see if the pilot who check in would show or not. So the company got rid of the online check in for offline pilots. If you want to risk of not getting on because the gate agent doesn't know how to list you, feel free to do so.

One time I finished a trip at LAX around 3pm, and the wife/kids were booked on the 11pm redeye so I tried to list for that jumpseat at the Spirit checkin counter at LA. They said they didn't have a way to list me for that flight, and to do it at the gate. Of course the gate for the flight won't exist until ~2 hrs prior to departure.
Is 1 hr prior the earliest I can check in at the gate with the white slip jumpseat form? |
Given that check-in is based on time you show up at the gate and get the slip from the gate agent, can anyone confirm when your gate agents are supposed to show up at the gate? With UA it's an hour before departure time.

Ok, this is what I thought it was. So I wasn’t losing my mind. Sad to see a few bad apples ruin it for all. I will still list online. I just wish there was a way to check in online to establish priority for us OALs.

I can’t think of one airline that allows you to check in for the jumpseat online (for offline pilots). Always done by time of check in at gate.

yes 1hr check-in but you should always list online. many of our gate agents have no clue how to list OAL, most of them are not spirit employees

Jetblue does. And the first offline to check in gets it.
