I list every time I use the Jumpseat and expect everyone else to as well. What your missing here is that this system basically takes the Captain out of the loop as he has to take whoever reserved it. That ain’t gonna cut muster around here as we fought long and hard to make him or her the final authority as to who gets to sit up front.

Having seen the Cal way and the current way. The current way sucks. There needs to be a cutoff. If you are senior and show up as the door is closing im not changing the person already in the seat. You are messing up my flow. Sorry take the next one or show up earlier.

Sounds like you already know what to do.

I don't know which Delta guys you've been talking to but the person who reserved the JS has until D-15 to check-in. After that the JS is free to be reserved by anyone else. There should be no reason for the JS to go out empty.

Our system is just fine and gives the Captain full control of the seat.

What usually happens is you try to check in and the gate agent says, sorry it’s reserved already. So you give up and try your plan B, because quite honestly you have no idea if that jumpseat is open or not and you might as well get to the next gate early.

Or, keep on honoring seniority as we have for years and as your longevity builds, you’ll have a better shot at getting on.
