The UAL-MEC has directed your Jumpseat Committee to seek an agreement with the Continental Jumpseat Committee whereby each carrier would grant a higher jumpseat boarding priority to each group of pilots. Your Jumpseat Committee has obtained this agreement and has become effective on October 28, 2009.
This agreement will be applicable to the mainline operation and will not include the respective express carrier code share flights. On Continental flights, United pilots will be placed in priority immediately below the Continental pilots and above their express partners. For United flights, Continental pilots will be assigned a J3 classification per the OMC category guidelines in our FOM and will place them above all UAX pilots. Currently, FOM xx.xx.xx assigns the J3 category to United interns and requires a cabin seat assignment as well as a meter of authorization. Continental pilots will not be required to have a cabin seat assignment or meter authorization for Jumpseat access. UA flight operations will be issuing similar information regarding the J3 classification in the front page news section of Unimatic. The J3 category will be updated in the next FOM revision cycle. United FODM’s have been briefed on this category change too.
With all procedure changes, we caution you there may be some issues that may arise during the initial implementation. If a Continental pilot is encountering a problem obtaining a United jumpseat, please contact the FODM for immediate assistance and your Jumpseat Committee, when time permits. Should you encounter a problem on a Continental flight, please contact your Jumpseat Committee via phone (and file a JSAP report.
Should you have any additional questions regarding the agreement, please contact the MEC Jumpseat Committee.
First DB to use the phrase "jumpseat jihad" will be disqualified from, well, everything.
