Mesaba has unlimited jumpseats. I would like to invite all of you to ride in our spacious Saab 340 or Avro. Many of you have already helped me get from A to B.

I'm pretty sure United takes unlimited jumpseaters now.

Nope. J/S on mainline = number of cockpit seats. UEX carriers are unlimited, though.

I know for a fact Alaska will only accept jumpseaters equivalent to the amount of jumpseats in the cockpit i.e. MD80-1, 734-2. It's written in their ops specs.

Hmmm, not sure how you know this to be a fact. I've jumpseated on Alaska numerous times to Mexico on an MD-80 with friends who also jumpseated. There is only one jumpseat on the MD-80, but they let the whole group go. No ID90s or anything - all ACMs.

I used to jumpseat on Alaska and as far as I know they will put as many jumpseaters on as they have open seats in the back. A very high class operation. IMHO

That was the exception not the rule. I have a copy of their jumpseat policy in front of me....want one?

No, I'll give you one instead.

This is from the ALPA website regarding Alaska's jumpseat policy...

A Guide to U.S. Airline Jumpseat Policies
Alaska

The jumpseat is offered to any carrier that has a reciprocal agreement with Alaska. Obtain a jumpseat form at the gate for domestic flights and at the ticket counter for international flights departing non-US stations. A jumpseat may be scheduled in advance only through the chief pilot’s office. Casual attire is acceptable, and certificate and company ID are required. The carrier offers international jumpseats. Call 1-800-426-0333 for flight information. Will accept as many jumpseaters as there are open seats in the cabin.

Delta Rocks.....but only two seats or less at a time

I just got back from a quick trip to MCO from BNA. I have to say, Delta really does treat JS'ers well. I do tend to approach the whole thing from the "beggars can't be choosers" viewpoint, but I have never gotten a raw deal from DL. I have never had to sit in back when there is an empty seat in first, and even in the back have been treated well. They do have a limit (but I have seen CPT's bend that rule). Just my nickel's worth.......

At Shuttle America we'll take unlimited j/s. 121/135 with ID are always welcome. We are Us Airways express in PIT and United express in IAD. The saabs are a bit weight concious so pack light! C-ya soon!

Just to reinforce some of the previous postings about USAirways....... they are great! They treated me like a king in 1st class of an A330. The captains insisted that I take 1st, both ways. On the way back, 1st was full and the captain was actually upset. But whatever, I was just happy to have a way home.

Anyone know about j/s (numbers) with British Airways or Lufthansa?
