US Airways New Jumpseat Policy

[Iflewjetz]

This may be old news to some of you. US Airways will now take as many jumpseaters as there are seats in the back. That is a relief to the people commuting. Will not get left at the gate because the jumpseat is full and there are 50 seats open in the back. Hope this helps.

This is good news. Was this on a recent code-a-phone, or on the ALPA web-board? If so, please send me a PM so I can pass the word on to a couple of friends. Thanks in advance.

I am not sure where. I was furloughed from there in March. My dad is still a check airman there. I was at the airport the other day and a gate agent confirmed it. I think all airline unions should push for this. It doesnt cost them anything extra, except maybe a soft drink and a bag of pretzels

which airlines,(specifically frieght) are allowed?

 

[Iflewjetz]
