United Airlines and Continental Airlines Jumpseat Priority Agreement


The UALMEC 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 will 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 12.20.11 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 and 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.
 
This could blow up on your faces when the United Express carriers enter into these same agreements to put eachother on before mainline pilots. . .
 
A capacity purchase agreement means that United buys every seat on the associated express carrier. They have every right to determine the order in which empty seats are assigned to non-rev's as well as how the jumpseat is assigned.

There you go..... Let's just keep Crapping on Captain's authority.
 
I would say the company does have the right to prioritize the jumpseat. I don't think this takes away from Captains authority. He/She is still the last say on wether or not a jumpseater gets on he just doesn't get to choose the priority.

Funny how they forget that part....but remember this is ALPA doing this not really UAL....I really don't think they care.
 
For UAL guys...would that include the CAL scabs?

For CAL guys...would that include the UAL "Fleet Qualified" scabs?
