There's no advantage for a pilot to use a ZED. That is for non-crew employees or family members. You won't have any extra benefits or priority by using a ZED.
this is all correct, i only offered ZED as an option because he mentioned international carriers. the only info i know about traveling on these carriers is via ZED fair |

If an airline does not show up on ALPA's Jumpseat Guide list does that mean that we (Envoy / American) do not have any agreements with them? I travel from a place without a lot of traditional direct flight options to DFW (only summer seasonal on American).
All of the following non traditional options have direct flights to DFW though: Cathay Pacific, Korean Airlines, Cargolux Airlines International, Atlas Air, Nippon Cargo or EVA Air. If some or any of these are commuting possibilities for me then my commute suddenly becomes ALOT easier. Trouble is, none of the above are listed on ALPA Jumpseat Guide from what I can tell and I don't know if I can or how to list with them. So...are any of these players, and if so, how do I list with them...at the gate and one hour before? Any help is greatly appreciated, and as always, thanks in advance! |

I should have been a little more direct with my post - I'm commuting out of Anchorage. Its not that I haven't been able to figure out how to commute through Seattle, MSP, MEM or PDX to get to DFW - the trouble is that it turns a 6 hour commute into a 12 - 14 hour commute because everything leaves AK as a redeye. Worse yet, if I have an early show I need to show up a full day early when I have a second leg I (not the case with the direct flight). If I could jumpseat on KAL from ANC direct to DFW then that would be a game changer for me. I'll look into ATLAS - I may have to show up in person at their office to figure out how to learn their schedules and procedures, but it'll save a lot of headaches if it works. FedEx treated me great, but the commute from MEM to DFW was full of commuters and it was hard to get to DFW by 1400 after leaving Anchorage at 8pm the night before. The struggle is real :cool: |

Atlas are great to jump seat with, especially heading overseas on their long routes.
