Unable to list on Alaska - myIDTravel
I'm not able to list on Alaska for the jumpseat on myIDTravel. Are any other United pilots able to list or is there a problem with myIDTravel at the moment?

Heads up. The process is LONG for the poor agents. You want to arrive as close to the 1 hour prior mark as possible to give them a chance to get it done. If you’re 15-20 before departure some agents will not get you processed. Not their fault... it’s a TERRIBLE process for them.
They always treat me great on Alaska.

SWA went to list on myIDTravel about a year ago.
American requires you to use myIDTravel.
Spirit has a link at the bottom of their webpage, labeled 'Team Travel/OA and Jumpseat'
Those are the offline carriers I've use.
Frontier requires you to use ID90Travel (I've always given up on listing; total PITA just to log on).

Yup, but they changed the policy after the merger and now you can't list online for AS flights. The ex-VX gate agents aren't thrilled about it...

Alaska and DAL you just show up at the gate. Just did a listing on SWA for the first time and it worked great.
The only negative about DAL and Alaska is a significant portion of their SEATAC staff are somewhat "knowledge challenged". That is a politically correct term for it. I had one day where an agent didn't know how to do a JS on both Alaska, and another day on DAL, and watched one day as two FA's tried to do an ID90 on Alaska, unsuccessfully.
One time I missed the flight, one time I had to buy an ID90 last minute, and the two FA's didn't get on.
All the last 6 months. Poor training for newbies maybe. Both always treat me great when I get on.
