I have players trying to tell me that the actual act of landing a jump stop is considered the first step and any move after that is a travel.

Can I get clarification?
The key is to watch his feet and how he lands. If he lands on both feet, neither is a pivot (either can be) and if he lands on one than the other, the first one down is the pivot.
