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.

 

[socrates1]

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.

 

[evilbeef54]

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.

 

[regionalcap]

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.

 

[skypine69]

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.

If it was me, I think I would skip all the airport crap, and just get a friend to drive me the 303 miles to JAC and be done with it! Get the doc to chop it off (the cast that is), have a few beers, spend the night, then drive home after sobering up. Bob's yer uncle, and Fanny's yer aunt as we used to say in Ireland!

Good luck.

all this is being assumed-- but why can't you jumpseat b/c youre out with a cast? It's one thing nonreving when you're faking a cold- another thing entirely to go to the doctor who will help you get legal to fly again.

To be able to Jumpseat:

1. You have to be an active employee--not on medical.

2. You have to not only hold at least a 2nd Class medical, but also able excercise the privileges of that medical--no limitations (any kind of restriction, temporary or permanent disqualifies you. If you can't legally work, then you can't legally jumpseat.) Technically, you are considered an extra crew member.

Note: If you are jumpseating, and sitting in cabin, even if dressed in street clothes, you may not be served a drink or have consumed any alchohol within the FAA 8 hour limitation. This applies to even the scenario of returning home, after your assignment.

Employee needs to call SkyWest Pass Department to list a buddy pass for a flight. Delta will not list a buddy pass. I called Delta to list a buddy pass they told me to call SkyWest Pass Department.

Look up SkyWest HDQ and you get 435-634-3000, then when the operator asks where you would like to be tranferred to, just say travel department. Now, see, I didn't have to give the extension number, any idiot could have figured it out.

You have lots of class..

Trouble is, its all LOW!

Yes, its rubbed off from the people in the Travel Department.

I guess I should have been more CLEAR for you. The best way is to have the EMPLOYEE call the Travel Department to get said person listed for travel on either Delta, United or Midwest flights. Its like your favortire place, Wal-Mart, one-stop shopping. Having it all under one roof.

How do you stick someone on iggy again?
I think I have found my first person on this board that qualifies for iggy.
Maybe one day someone will extract the stick from your backside..but doubtful.

Found iggy list, now there is one person on it.
Feels good

 

[XPOO]

Let's see, I try to help someone and all you want to do is lambast me explaining why I posted a number anyone and their dog could have looked up with a little bit of help from, oh, say... whitepages.com, and go have a little hissy fit? Cool, I feel more vindicated now.

XPOO,

Are you making more friends on FI again? :laugh:
