gonyon, not sure what you mean call to list as nonrev on Southwest. You are either a pilot jumpseater or a ZED nonrev. If you have a ZED then you already get a SW non rev listing with it. As a pilot jumpseater I believe it used to be you could call SW and create a jumpseat listing on the phone and they would give you a 6 digit confirm code. But I do believe now one has to go to the desk/gate and ask to jumpseat.

I think this is the 4th or 5th month there are redeye plus 1 pairings out of FLL. How is this still happening? My rep seems unconcerned. It's frustrating.

Wrong (as ShyGuy usually is). They just changed their procedures two days ago. You still call to list for a jumpseat, just make sure you tell them you are a jumpseater, not a non-rev. If you're jumpseating domestically, the agents are still required to list you at the gate if you didn't list on the phone, but listing on the phone will make your life much easier. Communications are going out soon to the Spirit pilot group.

If you have any problem with a jumpseat at any time, email the jumpseat committee. I landed at midnight last night and would have gotten back to you immediately.

Which pairings for March and which for April. I haven't seen any but I also haven't been looking.

The BQN turn. They've been building it that way for months.

Why is there not a group grievance? Seems pretty clear.

Yes, let's let them violate the CBA more and allow relief! I hear our new MEC chair is going to demand all JAs over the 5 allowed given out to be paid immediately to the flight pay loss bank.

How about we worry about non contract compliance issues that affect the whole pilot group, demand a cease and desist. If we all said no and stopped going above and beyond I think things will work out in our favor.. But it's useless, I still hear pilots asking for fuel/paperwork on ops, first leg of the day..

What makes it different than any other red eye turn that's always in there?

It leaves BQN at 0315 FLL time, so it's a redye+1.
