Allegheny New JS Limit

[LearLove]

This is straight from our ops notices in sabre, I'm not 100% sure if it applies to the Mainline or other WO and contract guys but I'd bet it does. Basically unlimited JS available on Allegheny flights. Thats US Air flights with numbers 3500 to 3599 for ALG.

Here is the ops notice:

**12/19/02 JUMPSEAT POLICY CHANGE

Effective December 20, the Captain may allow more than one jumpseat rider. The additional jumpseat occupants will be provided a seat in the cabin on a first come, first served basis after all revenue and non-revenue passengers have been accommodated. Please note that this privilege is extended to pilots only.

As a result of increased security, Allegheny/US Airways dispatchers and all non-US Airways pilots/dispatchers must present a revalidated Company I.D. and a valid pilot/dispatcher certificate before being afforded a seat in the passenger cabin (if available).

The Captain will verify the identification/credentials of all jumpseat occupants, including those assigned seats in the cabin. Pilots requesting jumpseat privileges should check in at the appropriate gate with enough time so as not to disrupt/delay the passenger boarding process.


Thats all folks, if any U mainline, PDT or PSA guys can comfirm that this is also thier new policy I'd appreciate it. Like I said before I'm almost 100% sure it is.



MERRY XMAS TO ALL ON THIS BOARD, EVEN TOO THE MAINLINE PILOTS-

NOW I'M OFF TO MY BIG ITALIAN FAMILY XMAS DINNER

Over here at PSA we got the same notice the other day, so it is probably the same at PDT and mainline. It's about time they did this.

Merry Christmas!

Two thumbs up to ALG, PSA, and PDT.

FYI- Pinnacle Airlines (d.b.a. NW Airlink) operates out of DTW, MEM, and MSP and accepts 3 offline jumpseaters.

Congrats. I had no idea it would take this long to get the benefit back. I remember the day back in 1997 when Fray - ud Turner sent out the memo specifically restricting our jump seats to one per flight. Spent the rest of my time there as jump seat rep trying to get it back - to no avail. US Airways' policy change drove the restriction, looks like the same thing this time.

AHHHHH - Turner, he may be gone but the stickers are still in the planes/crew rooms/lavs

Virgin/Slut

A friend who flys for colgan emailed it too me. Virgin is that british guys airline (we all know that) but its a 737 tail which I don't think he operates. The Avro I think is British Mainland or something, however its obviously doctored up a good joke though, I liked it.
