ExpressJet (L-ASA) Jumpseat

[CRJ puppy]

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS with Delta and Delta Connection flights, insist with the agent that they list you. The Delta system "knows" the priority and will clear the j/s'er in the correct priority. But ONLY if the agent lists you.

If they refuse to list you or wait until after the 15 min cutoff, then they are probably friends with the jumpseater.

This was a hard fought battle to get all the kinks out if the Delta system. It removes the agent from the loop since they honestly don't know and aren't required to learn and/or study who has priority.

Of course, in the end, it's all up to the PIC...

As you have done, always report any irregularities with your union's jumpseat coordinator.

Good luck in the future!!

That's good advise, it's supposed to be automatic, so if they aren't sure, it WILL sort it for them.......But they CAN and have overridden the system.

But at least it will be electronically documented with the employee that overrode it, so their manager can "correct" them. If they give a ratsazz

yeah those gate agents in the ATL sometimes are either too busy to check (esp. if they already cleared someone) or just plain don't give a shet. Hope it ends up being the GA, can't imagine one of our Capt doing that.

Dem gate agents all like, "mmmmm hmmmmm"
