EGLFO4LIFE said:There are no reciprocal deals with anyone. There are a few carriers I've heard of such SWA that may let you ride on a case by case basis(Captains discretion). It's nothing concrete that you can plan on or anything.
No, there never was an "official deal," as our airline doesn't have a reciprocal jumpseat list. We're permitted to take any pilot or flight attendant from a Part 121 or Part 135 carrier. (I believe NJA has a 135 certificate, which is why we're able to take you.)Guitar rocker said:I thought that commute air actually had an official deal with NJA....but maybe thats changed.

In any case, I've taken Netjets guys before and am always happy to do so. Next time, though, I'm going to give the jumpseater my name so he can bug Derinda about getting me an interview sometime this year! Putting in a good word for us is all the reciprocation I need.

F9 Driver said:Unfortunatly the hard part at many/most airlines is getting past the gate agent. They need to get you into the computer to assign you a seat.
When I was at EJA we got on with F9,SWA, and ATA almost always. Some twit was JSing on HP's actual JS and started bragging about how he was going to make extra cash by turning in his "Y" fare ticket after they landed since he got home on the JS. That got us officially banned from their planes for a while.
I know it's not a cushy seat with a tv and cold drinks, but have you guys looked at Airnet? They go almost everywhere, although the times aren't great.
T-Gates said:Sounds like an experience I had a couple years ago, my company had a recip. with Comair. I talked to the captain and he signed the form and welcomed me aboard. The FO (in his early 20's) was on his headset getting ATIS so I didn't bother him. As I turned to leave, the FO snatches the yellow copy out of my hand and flips into his Jepps and first checks my name againt the SCAB List, then checks my company against their reciprocal list. He then turns to me and the captain and says "I've never heard of you guys before, but I guess you're ok, I didn't think we let the freight guys ride".
At this point me and the CA are looking at this guy like he has 3 heads. The CA apologizes to me and tells me to take a seat. As I leave he shuts the cockpit door. When we landed he apologized again (FO was out doing the postflight) and said it was a new Comair Academy guy just off IOE. Go figure![]()
