Jumpseating & 1st Class
Did some jumpsesting over the summer- it had been a while. Used to be jumpseaters always got a 1st class seat if one were available. Now EmployeeRes requires you to list “Economy” while jumpseating, & I’ve been seated repeatedly in coach on company metal with seats left open in 1st. Has something changed?

If you let the Captain know you’re there, he/she will most likely upgrade you if a first class seat is available. The economy listing is irrelevant as far as where the Cap allows you to sit.

Was going to say...
I haven't seen any open first class since the days before September 11th....but other folks beat me to it.
Too many "segment upgrades", etc for frequent flyers, and last minute seat sales.... lucky to get an exit row window or aisle now if they haven't already sold them these days!
