yeah until your Captain/FO says to the fueler "ok sure" and you are stuck waiting for him in the terminal before you can get on the hotel shuttle after a red-eye. .

What is going on with hotels not booked, vans not set up for pick up, wrong hotel reservation. It keeps happening over and over. Am I delusional or this is happening to everyone else also?

We had a driver who took us to the wrong hotel a few weeks ago in Tampa, but I believe it was the driver's fault.
I haven't had any other issues with hotel and/or bus.

Question for Spirit guys. Say you list for the OAL/non-rev link on Spirit's website for a flight. You check in at the airport and check your free bag. On the plane, all seats fill up and you have to sit up front in the FD jumpseat. Will the checked bag still travel when you are physically in the jumpseat?

Also, I know the 320 has 1 jumpseat for you and the 319 has 2. Probably a no, but if that is filled can a OAL pilot sit in the FA jumpseat?

Thanks!

1) The checked bag should travel. I've done this before while occupying the actual jumpseat.

2) Per the most recent FOM revision, OAL pilots are no longer permitted on the FA jumpseat. Our A320's don't have an extra FA jumpseat anyway. A319's have one.

This is all b/c the F/A manual didn't allow it, and the AFA told the Spirit pilots "if pilots get to occupy the F/A jumpseat, then we should be able to occupy the pilot jumpseat".

Well, that's what I was told. If so, I'm wondering who is the weak sister that let the AFA castrate our PIC authority.

Who knows. If true, the AFA should have pushed to have OAL F/A's allowed to occupy the F/A jumpseat instead of disallowing OAL pilots from occupying the F/A jumpseat. Granting this courtesy could come with more reciprocal agreements for their F/A group.

As an aside, is there any chance we could get the second cockpit jumpseat reinstalled at some point? As this pilot group grows, we are only going to have more commuters.
