One local AMF guy openly would say to others, "fly what you can. log what you need."
Those who know him say he is a total scammer. I stay clear of his interests.

A reciprocal jump seat agreement is what ensures that pilots have the ability to ride up front. Having an agreement is NOT, by any means, a GUARANTEE that you will be allowed on board, the agreement means that your two airlines agree to take each other's pilots if able.... so USUALLY, if you can be accommodated, you will be. Ameriflight currently only has on agreement in place w/ Southwest so the only airline that AMF pilots can jump seat on knowing that if they can be accommodated, they will be, is Southwest.
Some other airlines allow CASS participating airlines to non-rev on their flights in the passenger cabin only without a reciprocal jump seat agreement but the jump seat is at the captain's discretion and it can be pretty hit or miss. All depends upon the captain.

Ameriflight is a CASS participant however, Ameriflight only has one reciprocal jump seat agreement. It is with Southwest Airlines.

Over the course of time SWA has always been the most generous to other airlines and has been the leader of how liberal the agreements have become in the airline industry.

Because this is a new concept to some on this forum, even though there is an agreement does not mean that there are rights to the jumpseat(s). It is always a privilege that is the Captains to give. And protocol is essential when exercising this privilege otherwise agreements can be put in question. It has happened to all airlines at some point.

There was a Navajo Chieftain operational question on Piperforums.com and I was hoping that some AMF guys could answer. How do you currently operate your engines? MP, RPM, FF? LOP or ROP? Did AMF install engine monitors?
Thanks in advance.

Calling this economy cruise would be optimistic, another local operator used higher power settings and moved about 30 kts faster. I wouldn't mess around in ice with those low settings, either.
