I jumpseated on American this morning. When I approached the agent at the gate and politely asked for the jumpseat, she asked me whether I had called ahead to put my name on the jumpseat list. I told her that I had not, and that I didn't realize that I could/should do that as an off-line jumpseater.
She indicated that American has a new procedure in effect whereby a prospective jumpseater needs to call some number to get his/her name on the list for the jumpseat. However, she didn't have that number on hand. She did say that it would be important to do this in the future.
My question is, does anyone have any information about this new procedure at AAL? I tried to call a bunch of my American buddies, but the only one I could reach had no idea what I was talking about.
I would like to nail down this information soon, as I am going to try to jumpseat again with American in a few days.
Thanks for any help/info anyone can give.
