Jetblue Jumpseats

[Tarzan]

Don't listen to these guys.
Next time you see a JB guy trying to get on the JS.....shank him!
That will send the message loud and clear.

Let me guess. You keister yours to get it on board right?

New Non rev listing number
1-888-538-2997
IMHO this is the best option for the short term with the new system.

PS, if you work for a certain regional flying the world's oldest CRJs from T2/3, you do know your agents there shuttle us to the service desk as well, right? I've missed a couple rides because of that, but don't advocate kicking y'all off the J/S. Hopefully we'll get back to being truly friendly to our OAL bros as the kinks get worked out, and soon.

Sorry you are having an issue there. Even we have been told by our CP's to proceed to the service center between gates 23/25 to process our deadhead seat cards...so as not to overburden the gate agents...(you're supposed to go to the side of the service desk and the agents are supposed to take care of you ahead of other passengers, in theory). Now to their credit these 2-3 poor folks at gates 23/25 are trying to board up to 10 flts through one gate, so you DO have to cut them SOME slack. It's a crap operation there in T2, but it can work IF you work with it.

Just allow yourself some time and don't expect a miracle if there's an IROP going on...

:smash:

Good luck, I've carried many, many JB guys out of there...

Hey guys, the service desk issue there in T2 is no biggie; it just caught me off guard a couple times when I was running to make a flight last minute (which is what the OP said about our flight). The agents have actually been pretty great, but I've been told there's nothing they can do when they're trying to board a bunch of flights, and don't expect anything different, honestly.

I don't ever advocate punishing pilots for the failings of the Customer Service people. Again, for JB the policy in our applicable manuals states you WILL be accomodated up to 10 minutes prior; you just may need to catch the attention of the crew to make this happen. I'm doing my best to sweep the area for J/S peeps now, and hopefully we'll get this crap fixed soon.

jumpseated from jfk yesterday on jetblue. no issues at all.

 

[samballs]

AS I've said before I fly JB 2-4 times a week and no problems, if you go to the just ask desk its done in a minute and in my home town I just go to the gate,

 

[Headfake14]

Having to go to the Just Ask desk is such BS. I didn't know this. I'll keep an eye out more for you fellow brothers/sisters trying to jump on us (JB).

NO REASON the gate agent AT the gate can't set you up...I don't know why we are making you guys do this.

Fellas at Big D....I applaud most of your agents for giving me a last minute hookup at T3...and sometimes T2. Even had a few 're-open' a closed flight and put me on. It blows commuting from ATL-JFK.

 

[wrigley23]

I got through to someone on the nonrev line in under 30 minutes today (29), so I listed for flights for the next 2 weeks just in case they didn't answer again! Maybe it's improving

 

[Pan1900]

I jump on JB all the time. I haven't had any major problems so far with the new system. I notice I can't list anymore. No one answers the phone. Depending on the gate agent they may not go out of the way to list you. If that's the case just go to somebody else. Otherwise, the flight crews have been great!

 

[WayBack]

Let me guess. You keister yours to get it on board right?

No, that's where the dope goes.
The shank goes under one of my breast flabs.

 

[Captzaahlie]

Just missed another ride home because of their new system! That's twice in as many weeks. I really like the pilots I haul, but I think the only way to fix this is to stop hauling them, at least too work until their Mgt. Feels the pain and fixes this. Any thoughts?

It's free remember?

As a Comair guy who's back up is always on Jetblue, I always appreciate the help and professionalism from the Jetblue crews. Unfortunately, some of the gate agents aren't friendly and won't do anything to help get J/S's on. It got so bad last summer, that many of the CA's and FO's took a walk up to the terminal and made sure there wasn't anyone waiting to get on. Hopefully things won't get that bad again.

If you are getting crap from an agent about getting on, please grab one of us. We sure as hell hate Delta, but most all of us (all JFK based guys) would bend over backwards to get a Jetblue guy on.

Also, now that we are doing the wait to push with PAX on but the Cabin door open game at JFK, we would be more than happy to get you on at that point.

Bottom line. JFK sucks and we all have our nightmare experiences there, but going the extra mile for each other will really help make our JFK prison sentence a less miserable one.

To what he said X 1000. JB guys/gals are hands down the best to jumpseat on. Sorry for the 1st post comments. He's probably one of the 5-10%. I always try my best to get any J/S on board our roomy 50 seat jet.

Thats how it should be, the only one that will look out for us, is ourselves.

What this guy said. I had a Comair CA refuse to call out till both of us jumpseaters were sent down (I work for Comair and they wouldn't let me down as well as the JB guy). They wanted to close the flight out with 45 people (when they could take 50+a jump)...they had revenue standby's also waiting at the gate. They got both of us and all the standby's on eventually (even after the gate agent yelling about being past departure). We ended up at the destination on time to.

The gate agents are not Comair...we are just a small jet lift provider, we don't do underwing or overwing anymore. 99% of the pilots in JFK are sympathetic to commuters as almost all of us commute.

The other 1%?

Just CVG based guys passing through. I keed I keed
