Also....if it's YOU (United pilot) that's not getting cooperation in securing your contractual jumpseat because of a gate agent with an attitude.....call the FODM. I have done it more than once with 100% satisfaction. Don't get in a ****ing contest with a gate agent....just take it above their head.

Already witnessed it in BOS. The agent put a SKYWEST guy in our 1 jumpseat and denied boarding to a rev pax to put a United guy in a pax seat!!!! (econ plus).

We didn't say nothing. Just buttoned up and flew to DEN.

Afraid the 67%ers are on much better terms with Fredrick then me. Glad to see we are all accepting the 'Make the Walk' bandaid rather then affecting real change where eligible JSers simply get the JS. Shockingly this has never been a problem for me at any other airline. Sounds like CAL Flight Ops has settled in nicely at Willis Tower.

Do any of the 737s have a 2nd jump or is that just a SWA thing?

Speaking to the 737 that are presently on UA's property (flown only on the L-CAL side), the 737-500's are the only ones with two Flt Deck JS configuration. NONE of the 737-NG's (-700/800/900/900ER) have multiple Flt Deck JS that I'm aware of.

Sounds good. I might have to refrain from my anti Belichick/Brady comments next time I pass through BOS.
