3. Surf Air has cabin seat agreement, but not cockpit. That means you will always be the lowest of the low priority to get on the plane. Pilots are able to commute because they can take the cockpit jumpseat, or are first priority on their own airline. You get neither of these. Be ready for lots and lots of missed flights and airport appreciation time.

If you try to commute to fly for Surf Air, you will have the absolute worst QOL that I can possibly imagine. My suggestion is to move to California if you want to fly for Surf Air.
Awesome thank you for the great information! Good to know!
