Agreed.

One of my buddies flies for them and I jumpseated with him, so of course when he was flying it was pure horror (hi ben), but otherwise it was a good deal... make sure you bring your passport they'll ask for it even if your picture shows up in cass.

It'll be fine however you may have to sit up front because those DEN routes are usually pretty full. As far as the jumpseat it's not too bad, there is a 3rd headset, I recommended you use it.

I have flown on them a few times out of Den and have no problems. Crews were great and they always did what they could to get me on. Thanks to all you TSA guys for the ride!

PLENTY of guys at the majors JS on the regionals. Also, PLENTY of them couldn't tell you the name of the regional that feeds for their carrier.

This happened more than one time. While JS'ing on the mainline carrier home, I say high to the crew, introduce myself, and ask permission to ride JS home. One of the guys says "who you with" I tell him. "Who's that?" I say, "see that CRJ/J41/J32 out the window? It's that company" "Oh, didn't know that. I commute on you guys all the time".

It's not called the WSCOD for nothing you know.

if you can, let us know you are trying to do so.
if we walk by or insist agent relay message.

Regardless of the reason, gate agents often don't let us know about anyone wanting a ride. Last week only way we knew was by seeing the guy flag us down through the terminal's tinted windows. i guess that last resort works too
