According to the person involved it was strictly a time issue that was told to him. The dispatcher told him he needed to list at least 24 hours in advance. Which seemed excessive to us considering SWA is the only carrier that will reciprocate the jumpseat.

Since Ameriflight is CASS approved you may be able to fly or jumpseat on other airlines, but it depends on the airline and if the captain is willing to accept you

Too bad this guy had a bad experience. Although it doesn't happen every day, SWA pilots DO jump on AMF -- many of them former AMF pilots
SWA has been pleasant and generous with AMF jumpseaters, but they, too, sometimes have to bump someone.

We have quite a few j/s with us up to OAK all the time from BUR and back. I know one CA who lived down here in SoCal and would j/s with us up on Monday morning because we got in @0500 and he was able to go head right to the terminal and start his day without needing to spend the previous night in the hotel. Also, a lot j/s home after their trip sequence because we fly in he middle of the night they get home 8-10 earlier than they would have. This is at least how it is on the west coast where we fly to more SWA bases: OAK, PHX, LAS.

Hey guys,
It looks like Ameriflight will be attending Comair's "going out of business" job fair in CVG next week. Does anyone know if they will be looking for pilots, or will they be interviewing for ground crews to support the CVG operations?
