Jumpseat Codes
Hey guys, i'm a new commuter and trying to figure out the different jumpseat codes. What are the different codes? I've seen SK1, SJ2 ext. Trying to figure out who is who. It looks like we (UAL Pilots) are SK1 on our metal? Thanks!

If you have access to SkyNot, they ought to be there. That's if you can log in. And if its not locked up.
New hire on the Bus?? Congrats on that, you're in the catbird seat, especially if you're over 5'6". What domo? |

Thank you sir, heading to EWR with the rest of my classmates. I came from express and always thought mainline guys were SJ1 but was surprised when I listed myself and was an SK1. I havent commuted since pre merger CAL, so I assume things have changed. I couldn't find the codes anywhere online but I dont have my IPAD on me. Ill have to check when I get home.
That's an odd one, because SJ1 was LUAL on LUAL flights, and SK1 was LUAL on LCAL flight. Vice versa if you were a LCAL pilot. However we are supposed to be all one big Jumpseat pool now so the priority is supposed to be the same I would think. It's IMPOSSIBLE that it could be an IT error, after all we are an IT company with wings. ;) |
I have been commuting on both LUAL and LCAL metal for 6 months and have always been SA1P and SJ1.
You are SA1P for cabin listings and SJ1 for Jumpseat listing. They must not have converted you over yet. You should make a call, either CPO or Pilot Service Center. I would start with one of the two Flight Managers in the CPO. They have always been helpful to me since being hired last year. |
SJ2 are flight attendants listed for their Jumpseat. Very useful to know when you see them also listed for the cabin, you now know they are not your competition for a cockpit jumpseat.

Ok I figured it out. When i list for the jump on LUAL aircraft I am SJ1, when I list on LCAL aircraft I am SK1. Is this how its supposed to be?

There is no longer LUAL and LCAL aircraft as far as pilots are concerned with the obvious exception of the fences for bidding. Systemwide mainline ISL based jumpseat priority went into effect Feb. 19th: A Note About Jumpseat Boarding Priority Changes On the evening of February 19, United will begin using the Integrated Seniority List for determining jumpseat boarding priority on all United mainline flights. Integration of the ISL will begin at 9 pm CST and should be completed by 11 pm CST. The policy of legacy priority on legacy metal will be retired. The excerpt below is from the Flight Operations Bulletin on the implementation of the ISL for jumpseating. It describes where a pilot can find his or her current seniority number and how SHARES determines relative seniority. Seniority numbers, while remaining relative, are updated at different times. Each pilot's integrated seniority number can be found in CCS by navigating to CCS>Reports>Staffing. Enter your employee number in the Emp ID field (upper left on screen) and select 'Sys Seniority' from the Sort First By dropdown (lower left on screen). The resulting output will display your current Integrated Seniority number, which is dynamic and refreshed in real time, e.g., every time there is a retirement, all numbers below the retiree go up by one. The numbers used by the Jumpseat award automation may be slightly different than those obtained through CCS because they are only updated once per week when a new hire class is entered into the system (rather than instantly like the CCS numbers). All pilots are always in relative integrated seniority order, however, and will be prioritized properly. The jumpseat process itself remains unchanged. Pilots can still use EmployeeRes to list for the jumpseat. The pass rider list screen in EmployeeRes will correctly reflect a pilot’s jumpseat boarding priority based on his or her ISL number. There is no requirement to list. If you have not been able to list just go to the gate and ask the agent to list you for the jumpseat.This is another step in the process of harmonizing jumpseat policy and procedure. As with all changes, it will take some time for agents and pilots to adapt. Your courtesy and professionalism in dealing with your fellow pilots and fellow employees as we navigate this change are appreciated. If you encounter any issues please file a JSAP report. The JSAP link can be found on the Jumpseat Committee page of the UALMEC.ORG website at UAL Pilots > UAL MEC Public Page. |
One more thing. Make sure you have your current system seniority number handy if it comes down to Jumpseat Bingo
