Jumpseat on Empire Air

[Simon Says]

I am coming in on Fed Ex into PDX and would like to jumpseat on a caravan down to EUG.

First question would be, do you guys offer jumpseats in the caravan.

Second would be how would I go about getting on the a jumpseat in the caravan.

Thanks.

I work for another feeder, and jumpseating in the C208 is not authorized. I think it is the same for Empire. The reason I was told :" jumpseater will have access directly to the fly control".

Sky is correct. At EA there is no jumping on the caravans. On the ATR's we'll welcome you aboard tho.

That makes sense because you don't have access to flight controls when your jumpseating on other planes.

Try Ameriflight.

Crew normally goes downtown so call a cab to go to the terminal and take Horizon.

Ameriflight doesn't have any flights directly to EUG out of PDX. Unfortunately, unless you're a Southwest pilot, they won't take you. Management doesn't seem to concerned with setting up anymore jumpseat agreements with anyone. Hell, they only let their own pilots jumpseat on company flights under special circumstances with prior approval from BUR. Kind of strange.
