We don't have any kind of commute policy, so if you get stuck somewhere other than your base/outstation it's best to be honest with the company and tell them as soon as possible to that they can launch a reserve to cover for you. People have been fired for missing flights and not being honest about why they didn't make their trip.

There actually IS a commute-to-work-via-airline-jumpseat policy: It is "strongly discouraged" because of the inherent unreliability of jumpseat transportation. You're expected to be "in domicile" in plenty of time for your trip if you commute to work, have alternative travel arrangements if the jumpseat doesn't work, and be prepared to look for a job if you blow it (they may cut you a little slack the first time, but officially it's a firing offense to miss a trip because your commute tanked). HOWEVER, I think this inquiry was about vacation or personal jumpseat travel, which IS allowed -- that's the reason the jumpseat program was set up -- with the proviso that you get back in time to go to work.

We are happy to have you guys on board. It is a normal jumpseat agreement. A seat in back will be given unless it is full. A seat up front will require CASS approval. Don't forget your passport you may need it for CASS verification. Any and all pilots on the list are always welcome regardless if it is personal travel or a commute.

Keep in mind SW is mostly full and there are usually 1-2 JS'ers listed per flight. Check to find out what your JS classification is. You might be lower than 121 JS'er or might be 1st come 1st serve basis.

We have two cockpit jumpseats, and a flight attendant jumpseat available. Off line jumpseaters are not allowed on the FA jumpseat, but SWA pilots are. If there are 2 SWA pilots and you, one would usually volunteer for the FA jumpseat so you could occupy the second flight deck jumpseat. Off line jumpseaters are on a first come first served basis, and of course SWA pilots have first priority. You are able to sign up for the jumpseat 1 hour before departure. Welcome aboard.
