Just go up to the gate like you normally would and 9 times out of 10 they'll give you a seat right away. They can only take as many people as there are jumpseats, though.

I've jumpseated on them a couple of times...they are pretty good. Good luck

That's right. Unlimitted JS. Also, if there's room, they'll put you in first. Someone told me it's part of their contract, although I don't know if that's true or not. I can say, though, that each time I've JS on them (which isn't a whole lot), I've always gotten first.

Isn't it funny how on US if they have 4 pax listed in first, there is 4 pax there, not full of free upgrades.

Call the non-rev line to list. They're usually very friendly.

1800-325-9999.........wait for prompts, hit 3, then follow prompts from there.

Late in the evening or early in the mornings are the best times to avoid being put on hold.

Just tell them you're a pilot with continental and you need to list on a flight or two to get to work/home (my favorite number is "TWO"). Takes 2 minutes vs. pissing off the gate agent with a 5 minute process of keying the computer.
