I will remind you, and all the non-UAL commuters, the jump seat is not yours. It is the Captains. UAL jumpseat is usually governed by senioriety. Everyone knows this. To claim getting bumped off your seat is disingenuous. It is not your seat at any point. You say it is a problem, I say those are the way the rules work at UAL. Plan accordingly.
You want to commute? That's fine, but there can be complications.

That said, thank you 2217 crew for the ride! Gotta love the 787-9, 8D is better than my apartment! lol
In Unity...

Having said that, our seniority based system can be challenging for junior commuters. I suppose there isn’t a perfect system anywhere, but I’m glad our system follows the same philosophy as the rest of the career, which is “seniority is king”

you wouldn’t have to explain a thing to the Cpo. Garry Kravit and the jumpseat committee have codified the strongest language in the industry wrt the Captain’s autonomy in administering the jumpseat as he sees fit. Yes, there is a jumpseat priority list in the FOM, but a Captain can modify it if he chooses to (must rides such as FAA excepted). Shortly after the merger, CAL scabs ran to CPO’s around the system whining about being denied jumpseats. The outcome? Too bad for the scabs, it’s the Captain’s jumpseat.

Done both on south Florida to NYC route and the one with check in time definitely helps you a lot - if you not senior enough to book it - use other options or buy ticket, everything is transparent. If we would have at least mandatory listing - that would help junior pilots.

Until someone senior walks in right before departure time…
