Jumpseat site?
 
Is there a new site for jumpseat schedules? https://inside.ipapilot.org/tools/jumpseats/index.php isnt working

Thanks

Call 1-800-BAT-CREW, and follow the prompts for the jumpseat desk.

Barring that- if you post cities/dates I'd look it up for you.

Most importantly- the dates/times are GMT/zulu, NOT local!

Ok, I called but what a pain. Seems like an unfair js agreement when you guys dont publicly post your schedule. Lots of the lower tier 121 operators do the same.

well I guess that UPS is a lower tier 121 operator

That's why I offered to help.

Every facet of the place is similar. 121 in req'd FAA cert only. FBN truckers with sketchy, overcontrolled, underperforming tech otherwise.

I thought it was unfair the last time I jumpseated on a passenger airline that had empty seats in first class and they didn't give me one. I guess they just don't operate that way (hint, hint). Sometimes life isn't entirely fair. I think you'll find an alpa site with industry wide schedules and links including ours.

Link doesn’t work anymore ...thus the reason for my post.

Hopefully this can lead to a solution.....first on behalf of UPS pilots I would like to say we appreciate very much all the rides we receive. I am new here but find UPSers very accommodating and helpful with the jump seat and we offer some great alternatives, and also nice is the fact the seat is confirmed when the listing is made. It can be little difficult to find proper location and procedures, especially the first time riding on us.... and we definitely need a better system to disseminate the info, which I hope we can do!

I'm also happy to receive pm requests when it comes to checking Jumpseat schedules and disseminating pickup locations. We are a great way to get to traditionally overbooked tourist cities like Hawaii.
