These types of agreements are reciprocal in nature. I have never heard of passes being used by Ameriflight employees. Ameriflight really does not have anything to offer in return. The jumpseat is generally a one way agreement with very little opportunity for the SWA pilots to use Ameriflight. I just flew with a guy that wanted to use Ameriflight but their dispatch turned him down because he didn't call at least 24 hours prior. He called 18 hours prior. He was going to call our union to let them know.
