United Airlines / United Express Reciprocal Jumpseat
Updated July 22, 2020 United Airlines / United Express Reciprocal Jumpseat Frequently Asked Questions What’s changing? Starting June 1, 2020, jumpseat-qualified United (UA) and United Express (UAX) employees in Dispatch, Flight Operations and Inflight Services will be able to electronically self-list for a qualifying jumpseat in employeeRES. UAX carriers include: Air Wisconsin, CommutAir, ExpressJet, GoJet, Mesa Airlines, Republic Airlines, and *SkyWest Airlines (*Flight Operations and Dispatch only). • UA employees will be able self-list for UAX flights within the 50 United States and can continue to self-list for mainline UA flights worldwide. • UAX employees will be able to self-list for UA/UAX flights operating only within the 50 United States. employeeRES will verify jumpseat eligibility and priority during the listing process, which will be reflected in Aero, the system used by customer service representatives (CSRs) at airports, after check in. What’s not changing? UA and UAX employees from Dispatch, Flight Operations and Inflight Services and UA Inflight- qualified management will still be able to list for a jumpseat at the gate with a CSR. Employees with controlled jumpseat privileges, including maintenance groups and select management employees, cannot self-list in employeeRES or with a gate CSR, and must follow established processes to receive authorization for a jumpseat. Why are we making this change? Being able to self-list in employeeRES frees up time for CSRs at gates allowing them more time to complete critical tasks before departure and focus on delivering caring service to our customers. Improved automation in Aero also allows CSRs working the gates to accurately see flight deck and cabin jumpseat availability.

AIRPORT MASTER PLAN CHAPTER 5 - RECOMMENDED DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS centurIon PLANNING AND DESIGN AIRPORT MASTER PLAN – CHAPTER FIVE | RECOMMENDED DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS The selection of a Recommended Development Concept is based on a combination of efforts by the planning team, Airport and City leadership, and tenant input. The airport master planning process for San Angelo Regional Airport (SJT) began with an inventory of existing facilities (Chapter One) followed by an evaluation of existing and potential future operational demand (Chapter Two) and facilities necessary to accommodate such demand (Chapter Three). Development alternatives were formulated to meet airport needs (Chapter Four) and then presented to the Planning and Technical Advisory Committees. Input received from these committees, Airport Leadership, and City Leadership resulted in the identification of the Recommended Development Concept. The purpose of this chapter is to describe the recommended direction for the future development of SJT. This begins with a definition of the Recommended Development Concept. This concept will be appropriately phased, taking into consideration the planning horizons defined within the aviation forecasts and facility requirements. The phasing will result in the formulation of a Capital Improvement Program and a financial plan will define the financial implications and opportunities of planned development. Recommended Development Concept The Recommended Development Concept is depicted on Exhibit 5A. This concept provides airport improvements that not only conform to the City’s goals and objectives but also meet identified facility needs while maintaining flexibility for future airfield expansion. The Recommended Development Concept was prepared after the development alternatives presented in Chapter Four were vetted and refined based on stakeholder input.
