jumpseating, standby, etc?

Hi,

Does anyone here know if there is a policy on jumpseating at companies like Flightcraft and Cargojet, etc? (or airline standby?)

I would really like to get out to the prairies from YHM (or YYZ) for a day for an interview. I have a feeling it would get me the job. Unfortunately, I cannot spare the means for a ticket out there as I am saving for initial living expenses at the new job, so this is my last option.

So who do I call? What kind of answer can I expect? PM me.

I'm even willing to help push cans and pack bellies until the flight leaves.

Thanks in advance for the help.

To jumpseat in the cockpit you MUST be a company employee. Unfortunately, there is no possible way you can jumpseat on KFA or CJT.

Thanks Osama ....

You're right, I was booted to the street. (even though I used to work at purolator)

Oh well, it was worth a try.

Most cargo operators only have insurance for company employees. Some for all employees and some for employees on company business only. It usually saves the company a lot of hassle.

I kind of wondered how far you could get if you dressed decent and hung around FBO's asking if anybody can spare a seat anywhere. Especially if you were a fellow flier you might get some free travel. For what it's worth I'd give you a seat if it were up to me, but guaranteed you don't want to go where I fly.
