So I'm running to the B Concourse (ATL) Thanksgiving Wednesday...I get there in time for DL (MD-80) and here's what happened:
Gate agent says:
1.There's one open seat in coach (only 1)
2. Delta Pilot on the Cockpit Jumpseat
I'm pretty happy right about now, but then the agent says:
Since you're a jumpseater, BOTH the Cockpit Jumpseat AND a seat in the Cabin Must be available...the only way you can get on is with an ID-90. (I didn't have an ID-90 which is my choice, and I sufferred the consequences).
I see the F/O working the flight (pretty nice guy) and he asks me if I'm going to PIT. I say: "I'd like to and there's an open seat in the back, but the agent said I can't go because the cockpit jumpseat is occupied".
The F/O says: "OK, see ya later"--Basically better luck next time.
I was kind of surprised how that all went down...about 90 minutes later the EXACT same situation happened on ASA, and I very happily took a the last open seat in the cabin.
Here's my question: Is that really the Delta policy? I just want to make sure that in the future I know what the policy is in such a situation. I'm looking for some clarification.
Thanks for any info you have.
