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.
Can you PM me with the details about what happened (date, time, from-to, flt #)? I can forward the incident to our Flight Dept. If there wasn't an weight issue with the flight, the dispatcher should have let your buddy on.
