900 Jumpseat
 
Hey all quick question does the 737-900 only have one J/S as well?

CLazarus 06-25-2019 05:22 AM

900ER Tails 895 and above have two jumpseats, as well as tail 479.

800 Tails 3532 and above also have two jumpseats.

That is a grand total of 17 aircraft out of 329.

Keep this info somewhere handy, it can save a commute as most CSRs assume only one and are too busy to go down and check.

And if you are one of the pilots operating one with 2 JS, please take the time to walk up to the podium and let the agents know you have 2 and will take 2 jumpseaters. I can now place my roll behind bag where the ship set used to be (as can a willing FO) leaving room for two more roll-aboard bags up front. Yes, it is tight but I like to get people home or to work/vacation/weddings/funerals etc.

Hey, good idea! I’ll try that.

Point of order. It’s not the CSR’s job to know how many Jumpseats a particular jet has. Jumpseat policy is to issue a cockpit access card to each and every person who requests the Jumpseat. The jumpseaters should figure out who goes down, but if there are any issues, any of the potential Jumpseaters may go talk to the Captain, and ultimately, he/she makes the call. CSR’s are simply there to process paperwork. Some of the older agents think they still get to play gate keeper with the Captain’s Jumpseat like they did pre merger, but they would be wrong.

That seems kinda silly to issue the JS to everyone. On several occasions I’ve been sent on down to the jet only to find another jumpseater already strapped in.

At UA the CAPTAIN decides who rides, not the CSR.

Yes, there is a jumpseat priority list available for reference but ultimately it’s the captain’s decision to sort out.

There are several historic, and not so historic, reasons for this.
