PSA/PDT jumpseat

[LivestockTony]

My company (a 121 cargo company) has recicprocals with several of the mainlines (including US Air and the former Am West), though delta we don't have.

I'm on a week of off days, and I was able to get to the east coast without problem, but when I return although I know I shouldn't have a problem out of Richmond, it saves me a couple days car rental and a lot of grief if I can leave out of PHF (Newport News, VA).

PHF is seved it seems by PDT/PSA and ASA predominantly... we have an agreement with ASA, but not delta, so it doesn't do me much good to go to ATL... will PDT/PDA honor the US Air mainline jumpseat agreement, being fully owned subsidiaries? I'm ultimately going to be trying to get back to ANC (my domicile, after seeing family).. or do I need to plan on leaving out of RIC? (We have agreements with Mesa, Colgan, Chataqua, etc, but not Air Wis... for the most part, wholey owened subs seem to have separate agreements on our recip list from the mainline...)

Thanks,
-TF

You should be fine.... AirWis is big now in the PHF and ORF area since PDT closed there base there.

Shouldn't be a prob at all. If you are getting on PDT, welcome aboard.

Be aware if it is a 37 seat dash, we often have weight issues.

PDT's reciprocal J/S list is completely separate from the USAirways mainline list. Although I do believe the lists are nearly identical. PDT's list is quite extensive including companies that I have never heard of.

If you are not 1 of the CASS carriers you may still be allowed to J/S as long as there is an available seat in the cabin.

. . . you may still be allowed to J/S as long as there is an available seat in the cabin.

Which is pretty much the only time anyone gets to jumpseat on one of our planes.
