Straight answers about how JumpseatPay works and what it’s for.
What does JumpseatPay do?
JumpseatPay helps flight attendants check that their pay matches their union contract. You enter your trips and pay period, and it computes what your CBA says you should be paid — retro, boarding pay, per diem, sit rig — with every figure cited to the exact article and section.
How is this different from other flight-pay apps?
Most pay apps hand you a single number and ask you to trust it. JumpseatPay shows the receipt: each dollar links to the specific contract language it comes from, so you can see exactly why the number is what it is — and take it to your union rep if it doesn’t match your check.
Does my pay data leave my phone?
In estimate mode, no. JumpseatPay is built privacy-first: you can check your retro, boarding pay and per diem on-device, without uploading your pay data anywhere. We never sell or share pay data.
Which airlines are supported?
We’re onboarding carriers one contract at a time so every citation is accurate — starting with United (AFA), American (APFA), and Southwest (TWU 556). Join the waitlist and tell us your airline; demand decides the order.
Is JumpseatPay affiliated with my airline or union?
No. JumpseatPay is an independent tool built by itsnotbug, LLC. Union contracts (CBAs) and federal regulations (FARs) are public documents; JumpseatPay reads them so you don’t have to. Always verify against your official CBA and pay statements.
Can I trust the numbers for a pay dispute?
JumpseatPay is a tool to help you understand your contract and spot possible discrepancies — every figure is cited so you can check the source yourself. It’s not legal or financial advice. For a formal dispute, bring the citations to your union representative.
How much does it cost?
The estimate mode — verify your own pay, nothing leaves your phone — is designed to be free. Join the waitlist for early access and pricing details at launch.
