Question about Jumpseat Privledges and Frac Pilots?

[dueguard1]

Do Fractional Pilots get jumpseat privledges aboard 121 carriers?

That's the 100 dollar question. Evidentally all you have to do is ask the ticket agent. They look your company up on their list or if you get lucky.. they just let you. I haven't tried it yet.

Ughh Scott Daddy said NO.

Why would you think that a part 91/135 pilot would get a quid pro quo deal for nuttin?

Use your hilton honors points and get a ticket...

It obviously depends on the carrer. When I worked at "a small turboprop operator based in Cheyenne, WY", captains had a lot of discretion about who could jumpseat. I know that I carried several NetJets guys and I never heard of any of my co-workers turning down a frac pilot.

But I think the situation is a lot more grim when you start talking larger regionals and the majors.

Do 121 pilots get jumpseat privileges on Fractionals?

We had Fractionals on our jumpseat list a few years ago and since 9-11 they are gone. The big problem was not getting reciprocal jumpseat.

We have jumpseat agrements at CitationShares, cause we're the best!

At NetJets we can ride on Commutair, Kalitta, and Kitty Hawk. However, we can't reciprocate the offer to anyone due to the nature of our operations.

Actually last recurrent said that we offered it to pretty much everybody (you too Rez ) and most declined because there is no promise that the airport we start for is the one we will end up at.
Honestly, I JSed for 5 yrs while I was an airline prisoner and it was OK until 9/11, then it was impossible. I'd rather miss the earlier flight and just use the ticket.

The biggest problem I heard for us 121 guys was we could not jumpseat unless the airplane was empty. Plus trying to find out where and when their were flying. Again no reciprocity so the Fracs were dropped.
