2025 Q1 Jumpseat Committee Update

Jumpseat Committee Update

Expanded FedEx Jumpseat Access
FedEx now allows non-FedEx pilots to jumpseat in and out of Puerto Rico. Pilots interested in utilizing this option must call FedEx Jumpseat Administration for flight schedules and listing information. Contact details can be found in the Jumpseat Directory on the Union website.

Currently, FedEx operates flights from:
✈ MEM to SJU (San Juan)
✈ MEM to BQN (Aguadilla)

Important: Pilots are required to carry a passport when flying to or from Puerto Rico on FedEx, in the unlikely event of an international diversion.

Ensuring No Jumpseater is Left Behind
A huge thank you to all the pilots who continue to walk the gate area and ensure no jumpseaters are left behind. Your efforts make a difference.

Reminder for OAL Pilots Using the Allegiant Jumpseat

✔ OAL pilots must list for the Allegiant jumpseat via MyIDTravel at least one hour before departure.
✔ If MyIDTravel is down or experiencing technical issues, gate agents can manually assist with listing jumpseaters.
✔ If a gate agent is unsure of the process, they should contact Customer Ops for guidance on manually listing the jumpseater.

Thank you for your continued support and vigilance in ensuring a smooth jumpseat experience for all pilots.
