Skywest non-rev question

[dashocho]

Quick question. I'm an SWA pilot out on sick leave due to ankle surgery. Im non-reving on a Sky West buddy pass tomorrow from SLC to JAC to get my cast changed etc. I asked my buddy if I'm suppossed to list myself(call Delta?), is he suppossed to list me. He had no clue as he's never used any Delta side buddy passes. Anyone here have an answer for me as to the procedure over there? Thanks in advance!!

If you have a E-Ticket, and a confirmation number, (your friend should have given you this), then just go to the ticket counter as a paying pax would. They will handle it from there.

That is of course that the Sky West buddy passes work like the ASA ones did. I just assumed they would, but I don't know.

if you are flying delta you can call the regular delta ticketing number and list, otherwise if you are in CASS just tell your friend to save his buddy passes, use your id to get thru security, and list for the actual jumpseat at the gate, welcome aboard

Evil,

Thx, however I'm in a hardcast from a bad ski wreck on one of the airline ski club trips. I can't ride the jumpseat right now. I use Skywest all the time to go to JAC and am always grateful. I need to buddy pass due to the fact I'm inactive right now at SWA.

Just call Delta and list yourself as a nonrev. Check in at the ticket counter and they'll activate you for the standby list so you can get through security. Hope this helps.

He should have sent you an e ticket for the flight that he has you listed. You have to list for a flight when you pay for it. What has he given you? Delta is going to ask you for a confirmation number from the buddy pass when you call them to change a listing.

Must be nice to be able to non-rev while on sick leave. My airline would yank your pass privileges away if we did that.

Skywest buddy passes are not e-tickets. They're issued for a city pair only and you get to pick the date and flight(s). Just call 800-221-1212 and list for the flight you want. Go to the ticket counter and activate yourself for the standby list with your buddy pass... simple as that. Call your buddy if you have any questions, and they can call the Skywest travel center to have you listed too. If I remember, when you get the buddy pass it has an instruction pamphlet with it.

How are they not e-tickets? I thought Delta quit issuing paper buddy passes a couple of years ago. Do you get something different at Skywest?

 

[SSDD]

Yes, we have our own buddy passes.

 

[trip]

You mean "had" our own buddy passes!

 

[DX Rick]

Wait, are you on sick or medical leave?
When I had knee surgery back in May I wasn't allowed to NonRev

 

[SKYW Pilot]

We have our own Skywest buddy passes which are different than Delta's buddy passes. As of December 4th, though, Skywest buddy passes are no longer valid on Skywest operated Delta Connection flights. As of 12/4, if you'd like to have a buddy travel on a Skywest Delta Connection flight, you have to use a Delta Buddy Pass which is completely different. We traded our Skywest DL CX buddy pass bennies for Mainline Delta buddy passes.

You guys are confused about this guys situation. He is not non-reving based on his employment. He is non-reving based on his friend's employment at SkyWest. Just as if you were giving a buddy pass to someone who doesn't work for the airlines. He can't non-rev because he doesn't have pass priveleges right now so he is using a "buddy" pass from SkyWest.

Clear as mud?

 

[XPOO]

Easiest way to list is to call SkyWest's Travel Department during business hours on weekdays. I know there is an 800 number, but I don't know what it is. Perhaps someone else knows it and can post it. Here is the long-form number (435) 634-3000 x3590.

Amen Brother!!! That's why I'm going this route. I 'm going to JAC to get my cast changed. That's where my Doc is. I've talked to my chiefs and they are well aware of my situation. Like you said, I'm going this route cause I'm not legal to do it on my own.
Skywest guys, thx for the help!!!

I am pretty sure the pass department DOES NOT want the number given out. I have heard that parents who call the number get all kinds of $h$* from the "great" employees in the pass department.

 

[SKYW Pilot]

Don't call the pass department unless you are the employee. That number should not be posted on a public forum. The first thing they ask you for, anyway, is your name and employee number. You can list just as easily by calling Delta.

this aint that hard. either call DL and ask them to list you or show up at the ticket counter early enough to have them do it.
