Thanks! It was one of those awesome non-rev moments when you apologetically run up the gate 10 prior to closing with no JS listing and with smiles everyone takes care of you. Didn't think I had a chance and wouldn't have blamed them for turning me away but I made it home hours early.

Repositioning flights can carry F/A's, and I've carried offline jumpseaters on those segments.
Charters are owned by the charter department and can make up their own rules within FAA regs.
Dedicated cargo flights, RIP, also had the ability to dictate who flew on the aircraft sans F/As

Yeah, I think you guys are talking about different scenarios. A repositioning flight, a charter, and a maintenance ferry all have different rules. By the regs, a maintenance ferry where the aircraft is flown in a non-standard configuration, engine out ferry on a 4 engine a/c for example, is limited to required flightcrew members. Line UAL pilots no longer see these segments as we have engineering & test pilots to fly them.

I'm looking at that section. I don't see offline jumpseaters or offline non-revs mentioned on the list of approved passengers. I'd like to think a JS would be considered on its own terms and under the guise of the JS protocol but I wouldn't be surprised to get pushback in that one.
Doesn't matter in this case anyway, as the flight appears to be a positioning flight for a NFL charter and is presumably under the control of the charter department.
Even a UA pilot would have to move mountains to get authority from the charter department if that is the case.

On one of my last MLB ferry flights (late summer 2015) they denied a UA jumpseater. FODM was no help so it was a pretty rediculous situation.
I'm glad that others have had a better experience so there's hope.

Recently did a MX drop off that was 'prohibited' from carry any passengers. Due to it going straight to the hangar.
Also, on the LCAL side, I had done a maintenance flight around the patch to check for leaks around an emergency exit. Would do it again but now wonder if it is 'prohibited' or if it would even get put into open time~
Thanks
