Jumpseat on a freighter
Is it possible for an offline pilot to jumpseat on a freight run?
If so, do I walk up to the gate and list, or is some kind of advance notice required? Of course, the flight does not come up on the myidtravel portal.

Who are you going to believe when it comes to AA's cargo flights?
