Can I ride along?
Hey UAL folks, Delta guy here wondering about an extra flight that popped up today EWR-DEN. It's 2141 and apparently a 767.
Not sure if it's a charter or extra flight? Buddy of mine couldn't see loads for it so not certain. Would be great if there are seats open or I could snag a jumpseat. Any help or info would be appreciated. Thanks!

Not true. On a ferry flight he could ride as long as he was not number 20 in line. FOM 13.20.2

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.

Ferry flights are strange animals. United operates each one as if it is the first time we have ever operated a ferry flight, and the rules seem to change just as often.
A few years ago I flew a 747 ferry ORD-SFO, and it was posted on the TV screens like a regular flight, including the gate. About 40 pax with tickets on later flights showed up trying to get on an earlier flight than they had tickets for. Unfortunately, no FAs were on board. At push time there was no activity, so we called ops to find out what the delay was, and they had never heard of us (although the fuel was boarded correctly).
