Too bad this guy had a bad experience. Although it doesn't happen every day, SWA pilots DO jump on AMF -- many of them former AMF pilots
Since 9/11 I have not heard of one person jumpseating on AMF out of my base. Just one guy trying and getting denied. Your schedule is not conducive to ours for commuting. I have had a few AMF jumpseat on us the past few months. Great guys but one. Too big an ego for my liking. And tried to act like he knew our job as well as we did. Every airline has a tool or two.
SWA has been pleasant and generous with AMF jumpseaters, but they, too, sometimes have to bump someone.
Very very rare. And only on the 300. And we would have to be going out of a hot ABQ or LAS or with an unusually distant alternate and tankering fuel or something where the stars all aligned.
