Air Whiskey Jumpseat

I am trying to jumpseat on this Sat. 21st from PHL-BGR. Can anyone tell me what the loads look like for the 2 morning flights? Also, does the RJ have a seat upfront? I'm with K4 and we just got CASS and I've never J/S'd before. Thanks in advance.

first one is full
3830 PHL - BGR 9: 05A 0 open seats with no standbys listed

next one
3696 PHL - BGR 11:11A has 2 seats open with no standbys listed


Good luck!

We do have a jumpseat. Should be all yours, if you are in cass and we have an agreement with you (I do not know who K4 is.) Done the BGR turns many times, never with a jumpseater. So even if that first flight is full, you should be up front.

Thank you. I'm trying to get up to Maine for a family reunion. K4 is Kalitta Air, and we do have an agreement so you're welcome to hop over to Europe with us.

BGR? I hardly knew her!

Can we return on Kallita or does the TSA still ban that type of thing.

Be careful on that one. RAH usually dhd's a crew on that flight that is full. Although it shows 2 seats open, you may get to the gate and get bumped by a DHD. Most of the guys there would not take the jumpseat however if they are DHD, but the gate agents may ask. Just a heads up....

I'd hazard to guess many of our pilots have never heard of Kalitta...just make sure you have your passport, medical and airline ID and you should be good to go. Something like 80% of our pilot group commutes so we do everything we can to get somebody on.

We welcome Jumpseaters. Majority of the AWAC pilots commute as well. So, we are most accomodating. If you never rode up front of a CRJ 200, Don't freak at the view on final, just realize it's nicknamed the Lawn Dart for a reason.

Most of the Air Wiskey captains I flew with would never bump a jumpseater to allow another airlines positive space DH'er in the cockpit. If you think that may happen, make sure you talk to the captain. RAH cannot tell an AWAC captain who sits in his/her jumpseat.

I spent an entire month doing BGR CDO's.....only had one JS the entire time and he was a mainline guy who keeps a house up there....my guess is that you'll have luck at some point in the day

Agreed, it is NOT going to happen. If you want the jump on an airwisky flight and there are no airways people or wisky people (which there rarely are on that leg) then its yours. We will not permit another carrier crewmember on positive space to ride in our jump if it means a guy will not get home, having over 95% of your pilot group commute does that to you.

You should not have a problem with RAH. We don't sit in our own JS when being positive spaced. We are never required and 99% of us won't anyhow. I'm PS, give me my seat in the back, period! We are the DHed company of the US. It's amazing how much time we spend in the back. If it's full, they just have to bump people. We don't take JS's

 

[DorkProp]

That's good to hear, 628. Many pilots at every regional are probably not aware that occupying the jumpseat on company business is against ALPA jumpseat policy. There's certainly nothing wrong with doing it to help ensure as many customers or non-revs get on board, but only if there are no other pilots requesting the jumpseat. I got a US Air agent in MEM really mad at me once when she asked me to take the jumpseat on a DH once. I politely declined because there was an off-line pilot wanting the jumpseat. I sympathized the with the agent's frustration with trying to find a seat for me, but that's just the way it is.
