Offline jumpseat checkin
Hey guys. AA guy here. What are the rules for how early an offline pilot can check in for jumpseat on a mainline United. I've often been told 1 hr so wait until gate agent is present at gate and at an hour checkin. We have a commuter here always bending the rules on AA and now I'm seeing him on the standby list for a flight tomm morning at 7:08am. He was not rolled over from the last flight tonight as he wasn't on standby list and it left with empty seats. Is he allowed to go to airport the day before and list????? A few other pilots here also think he is using an automated checkin app for AA which is against our rules. He's has checked in before while airborne, a few times when I check he has been within 5 min of takeoff or landing based ON/OFF times for his flight

Check in is at the gate. So if the gate agent is there can check in. No clue if there’s a limit how far out or at another gate as I’ve never had to do that.

Enough that I started checking. Sometimes we only have 1 50seat AA RJ a day. Other days last flight home is 4pm
40 guys live here so sometimes 7 guys standing there for 1 weight restricted RJ. If my son wasn't here I'd be gone tomm
do you actually fly for United mainline??? Doesn't sound like it

As for this guy checking in while flying, he certainly wouldn’t be the first guy to have a wife or friend check in for them. That might be against some of your rules, but, like I said, he’s definitely not the first.
