Aint gonna happen.
Duvie,
If you are asking to actually ride on the jumpseat of a Part 121 Operator, you have to be in CASS and have a reciprocal jumpseat agreement. If you do not have both you won't be riding the "Jumpseat". As far as riding in the back, well that will depend on the Airline. Don't forget that if anyone else is waiting to "Jumpseat" and they are a pilot of a Part 121 Carrier in CASS and have a reciprocal jumpseat agreement you will go to the back of the line. With record load factors and according to your statement that your employer does not have reciprocal jumpseat agreements you can foorgetaboutit. Sorry.

thanks skyhungry. Thats all I was looking for. My company flies scheduled operations exclusively so I'm not looking to get to company aircraft, in fact I'm not really sure how that scenario would come about. I just wanted to know if I could do some weekend travelling.
I appreciate all the input, I definitely have a better idea of where people in the industry stand on the issue

Also, many airlines now take multiple jumpseats. If there is an empty seat in the back, you get to ride.
