Your above post is admitting that pilots from your company have stolen seats. If you want jumpseat privileges, work for a company that has jumpseat privileges. Just because you are a pilot does not entitle you to catch free rides on whoever you feel like.
For those of you that don't know, Ameriflight is a 135 outfit.

"entitle" one to a ride......
everything you said is wrong. Ameriflight is in CASS and can legally jumpseat. If a carrier lets you ride (reciprocal agreement or not), you're not trespassing and there is no security breach.
