Career Jumpseat

Career Jumpseat lets you move your Career pilot from the current airport to another airport without creating a normal flyable assignment. Use it when your pilot is in the wrong place for the next Career step.

​
When to use Jumpseat

Use Jumpseat when:
  • Your current location is not where your next assignment starts.
  • Dispatch says the first leg must depart from your current location.
  • You finished work away from base and want to return.
  • A reserve assignment requires relocation before scheduling.
  • You moved base or changed work patterns and need to reposition.
Jumpseat is part of Career Mode. It uses your Career balance and Career current location.

​
Where to open it

You can open Jumpseat from the Career Dashboard. The Dashboard header has a Jumpseat button. The page shows:
  • Current location.
  • Base.
  • Career balance.
  • Destination search.
  • Available jumpseat route options.
If Jumpseat is locked, read the lock message. A common reason is an unsigned Career contract.

​
How Jumpseat works

  1. Open Career Dashboard.
  2. Click Jumpseat.
  3. Check your current location and base.
  4. Enter the destination airport ICAO.
  5. Click Search Jumpseat.
  6. Review the available options.
  7. Pick the option you want.
  8. Click Book.
After booking, FlyHub updates your Career current location to the destination airport. If the ticket has a cost, it is deducted from your Career balance and appears in Finance.

​
Route options

FlyHub searches active schedule data for repositioning options. The page can show:
Option typeWhat it means
Employer directA direct jumpseat on your current employer.
DirectA direct jumpseat on another airline.
ConnectionA two-leg jumpseat through another airport.
Employer direct options are preferred when available. If no direct option exists, FlyHub can look for a connecting option. If no route is found, try another destination or use Dispatch with different planning choices.

​
Cost and discounts

Jumpseat tickets are paid from your Career bank balance. The fare is based on distance, with a minimum base fare. Employer direct options can receive a 70% employer discount. Other direct and connecting options normally use the regular fare. If you do not have enough money for the selected ticket, booking is blocked.

​
Reserve relocation

Reserve relocation can use Jumpseat differently. If Operations calls you for a reserve assignment and you are not at the required origin, FlyHub can send you to Jumpseat with reserve relocation mode enabled. When reserve relocation is airline-sponsored:
  • The destination is tied to the reserve assignment origin.
  • The airline covers the jumpseat fare.
  • No jumpseat charge is applied to your Career balance.
  • After repositioning, continue to Calendar to schedule the reserve assignment.
Do not use reserve relocation for unrelated personal repositioning. It is only available when FlyHub confirms the reserve assignment needs it.

​
Jumpseat and Dispatch

Career Dispatch is location-aware. If the first generated leg does not depart from your current location, FlyHub can require you to reposition before accepting or filing the work. In that case:
  1. Note the airport Dispatch needs.
  2. Open Jumpseat.
  3. Search from your current location to that airport.
  4. Book a valid option.
  5. Return to Dispatch.
  6. Generate or accept the itinerary again.

​
Jumpseat and base

Your base is your main employer station. Your current location is where your pilot is right now. These can be different. Being away from base is not always bad, but it can affect:
  • Where Dispatch can start.
  • Whether you need repositioning.
  • Whether away-from-base costs or commuting pressure matter.
  • Whether returning to base is useful after a trip.
Use Jumpseat when the current location is blocking the next thing you want to do.

​
What Jumpseat does not do

Jumpseat does not:
  • Create a normal flyable Career flight.
  • Add flight time.
  • Add XP.
  • Add a logbook entry like a completed tracked flight.
  • Replace Online Tracking or Manual and Offline Mode.
For actual tracked flights, use Online Tracking or Manual and Offline Mode.

​
Common mistakes

  • Searching for the airport you are already at.
  • Forgetting that the ticket uses Career balance.
  • Booking a personal jumpseat when a reserve relocation would have been airline-covered.
  • Expecting Jumpseat to count as a flown assignment.
  • Returning to base when the next assignment starts somewhere else.
  • Ignoring Dispatch messages about current location.
