Delta/ASA Jumpseating

[Flechas]

Hey guys, any info on how many jumpseaters delta or asa takes?

ASA takes as many as there are open seats.

Delta takes as many jumpseaters as there are jumpseats in the cockpit. Some planes have two in the cockpit---like the 767-400, 777, and 767-ER (DOM and INTL). The 764 does a lot of domestic flying from ATL---to LGA, BOS, MIA, FLL, MCO, PBI, TPA, SEA, SFO, LAX, LAS, HNL (and LAX to OGG--Maui), and Lima, Peru. The 777 does MCO from ATL, and CDG, LGW, FRA, and NRT. The domestic 767ER does quite a bit of transcons---from JFK to LAX and SFO, and also a lot of Florida from ATL. To see if you are flying in an ER---see if it has a "Business Elite" section instead of First Class. That would mean there are 2 jumpseats available. That may not be the case on INTL flights, since a third pilot might be needed and then Delta wants only one jumpseater I believe in the back. A lot of this is due to Delta, and I believe we have asked for unlimited jumpseats in this last agreement. I will find out eventually if we got them. Also, if a Delta guy has taken the jumpseat, ask him/her if they would write a pass-----they should do it for all other approved airline jumpseats. If not, they are jerks.....Good luck.

I have heard that American Airlines gives reciprocates whatever policy that your airline has. However, even though here at ASA we have an unlimited jumpseater policy, I have been told that American will only allow us up to the number of jumpseats in the aircraft due to the fact that we have Delta employee numbers. IS THIS TRUE? Does anyone know what the policy is at American toward ASA?

A few months ago i did jumpseat on American Airlines. I told them my priority was D6U. The "U" is for unlimited jumpseat. No questions were asked. And I did a roundtrip jumpseat on AA.

I don't know the official policy, but you can list yourself with AA 1-800-933-5922
