Without CASS you are excluded from the flight deck. Without a reciprocal agreement, you're out of luck except for a few who do offer "J/S privileges" for open seats in the main cabin. Last I heard, Southwest and Jetblue offered unlimited seats to 135 pilots. Call Res to list and check loads, then check with the ticket counter or gate agent. Last, but not least, when given a seat by the agent, stop at the flight deck and check in with the crew. Have your current badge, license, and medical ready, (In my experience about 50% want to look at my credentials) say something to the effect of "Hi, I'm Joe Pilot from XYZ Air, I'd like to ask for a ride; the girls at the gate have already given me a seat in back."
Best of luck!
Best of luck!

New universal jumpseat program for 135's!!
Hey Team,
I am a charter jet captain in the USA, I was every frustrated with not being able to jumpseat properly like our 121 counterparts so I did something about it.

We have designed this to include 121 if they desire!
We have built this system around common security programs in place, all jumpseaters are vetted IAW any applicable security program and given a seat in the cabin.
Take a read through the Pilots and operators FAQ's, all the information is there.
www.jumphub.aero
We have customers in the system and more are coming online shortly.
Let me know if I can help with any questions.

30-40 of all charter flights are repositioning or empty, that's a lot of flights.

This simply is NOT reciprocal. Period. No matter how you spin it.
No 135 folks on my jumpseat, regardless of whether my company strikes an agreement with this...uh..endeavor...unless it’s an empty leg. 🤣
