Express Jet Charter ?

[s.o.sJTB]

I noticed that Express Jet has a charter contract with Laughlin Casino's, flying from ONT to Bullhead City. Is it possible to Jumpseat on these flights or are they considered a private charter? What about a Zed fare? Thanks

private charters are private charters. no

SKW pilots can't j/s on XJT anyway. So don't even bother trying.

There. THAT's how you start a thread.

(and I'm being sarcastic and people will still explode)

can i jumpseat on britney spears plane? there u go...

 

[s.o.sJTB]

Considering I can buy a ticket on these flights and not on Britney Spears's plane, I think the question is valid. Anyone mature enough to answer the question (preferably an XJT pilot)?

These flights are no different than the flights Allegiant or Sun Country does for the Casino's and I have jumpseated on those.

There are two kinds of charters, public and private. Usually the airline company would need specific consent from the Private Charterer in order to allow anyone outside the company aboard a privately chartered aircraft.

Harrah's casino routes on Allegiant are considered public because they sell tickets to the general public. This charter by ExpressJet just might be a private charter in which no tickets were sold and therefore requires no security screening or TSA envolvement.

Thats why I ask XPOO, these flights are marketed through the Casino's and anyone can buy a package deal with hotel, they fly out of the main terminal in ONT. These flights are also pre-scheduled daily dpartures with Express Jet Flight numbers. I should now better than to expect a mature answer from all the kids on FI.

Like you said, I realize you cannot Jumpseat on a private charter, any company that allows that probably wouldnt be in business very long, besides if you could I would probably be jumpseating all over the world with Angelina!

 

[XPOO]

I say try contacting ExpressJet's charter department directly and confirm with them.

I am pretty sure (90%) that you cannot jumpseat on any XJT charter.
