If you're looking for alternative means of jump seating we have a reciprocal js agreement with SWA and we go to a lot of the same airports. I've had a few pilots jumpseat from BUR to OAK and on up to PDX or SEA. At www.ameriflight.com we have a route map and a contact number that you can use to list for a flight. We do a lot of "middle of the night" flying, so we have been a last minute option for a few pilots who couldn't make the last flight out or who want to spend more time at home.

 

Can't find the route map on that site. Do you have agreements with any other airlines?

 

Look under "services" at the top. The route map is there.

 

www.ameriflight.com

Click "Employment"

Click "Pilot"

Under "Pilot Opportunities"

There is the "Route Map"

"Red" cities are bases.

We just changed our CASS ID to A8, as of now our only reciprocal is with SWA.

 

Another place to find it. Thanks FDXer

 

I've used you guys a few times and appreciate the rides. I'll post this info on the SWA site for some OBTW info.

 

Newbie question. Can't a pilot from a CASS airline can jumpseat on any other CASS airline? What is a reciprocal agreement? Does it mean you can list ahead of time?

 

Just because two airlines are CASS, it doesn't mean they have jumpseat agreements with each other. A reciprocal agreement is when both airlines agree to take jumpseaters from each other. It's usually brought about by flight management and the pilots at each carrier. Your company or pilot group should provide you with an approved jumpseat list. If your company is not on one, it doesn't mean you can't get a ride but it just makes it harder to get one.

Some airlines require listing prior to jumpseating and some don't. Again, this is something that would be found in your reciprocal agreement. The only thing CASS allows you to do is sit in the cockpit if no seats are open in the back. Just because an airline isn't CASS, doesn't mean they don't offer jumpseats. You might be able to sit in the back.

Hope this helps...
