SLC - DEN commute

[jcbfly]

Just looking for a little information and help if possible. I am an F/O for an air ambulance operation. I live in Utah and am based in Denver - as of next month. Im trying to research whether or not 135'ers are allowed to jumpseat anything but a rental car. Ill fly out of Salt Lake City into either Denver or Centennial(base). Outside of driving, buddy passes, convincing students to fly rentals over the mountains for the invaluable instruction and time they'll get - there is forking out a considerable chunk of my pay to fly regular like. Hopefully jumpseating is possible.

No I cant move to Denver. They will fly me out of SLC occasionally. The schedule is typically 2-3 weeks on and 2 weeks off so the commute isn't too painful - even with the drive.

Any info is greatly appreciated

It's going to be tough to jumpseat with a 135 badge these days.

Does your company has any formal agreement with anyone?

I've just started the research and am waiting for a response from the company. Ive made some calls with no luck on the formal agreement. Maybe some advice on where to befriend as any flight attendants as possible?!? - looking like my best and most cost effective bet.

Thanks for the response

Most airlines' Ops Specs always leave some room for the capt. to work with. (capt. discretions)

But you must get past the gate agent, THAT'S THE HARD PART.
