SWA, the jumpseat, 135 crews

[bman]

Hey SWA guys

I have heard that if your company has a 135 certificate you guys allow the pilots to jumpseat on your carrier. I was wondering if that is still in effect and what are the details. Ie eligibility, ID, priority, proceedures, blah, blah, blah, etc, etc.....


Thanks in advance

SWAPA (pilot union) has a committee that works in conjuction with the company to approve of 135 & some 121 carriers to "jumpseat" (sit in the back if available seats are there) but only after the requesting company coordinates in the appropriate manner & provides all necessary info to SWAPA & to SWA. If you company is interested have them contact SWAPA & ask to speak to the Jumpseat Committee chairman who will start the review process. Hope that helps.
