Have you ever tried to jumpseat?

There's no public web site or phone number, no, but a Netjets guy can look those flights up on our Blackberry. Of course, it's all subject to change, sometimes in-flight. Unfortunately, since we can't even ride on our empty legs now (thanks to that insider-trading scumbag David Sokol), it'll probably be a long road, if ever, before we'll be able to carry guys from other companies.

I would GLADLY bum a ride off you guys in your sleek rockets! That would be the best j/s ride EVER, wish we could reciprocate at the airlines, I would do so in a heartbeat.

I ain't gonna lie. It's pretty comfy.

Years ago, 135 EJM used to have scheduled runs on Lear 35's; cheques, VHS tapes, that sorta thing. They had a very modest number of agreements and any of the Execjet fracs could jumpseat by playing dumb if the list was ever pulled out.

When I was at CommutAir we had specific jumpseat agreements with some non-121/135 operations. Specifically agreements were in place with Netjets and instructors from Flight Safety International (not the academy).

At Virgin America the cabin jumpseat is left to the captains' discretion (obviously CASS required for flight deck jumpseat). We have regularly carried pilots from Cathay Pacific as cabin jumpseaters.

IMHO, as a 121 pilot, I have no problem offering an available cabin seat to a fractional guy. However the fractional guys I know all have their tickets bought for them when it is work related travel, and they have so many frequent flier miles that there is really not much need to try and fly standby/jumpseat.
