You're looking at a ferry flight. No passengers usually, and sometimes a couple of nonrevs. Most charter trips include a ferry.

Interesting. Ferry flight or not, were there non-revs on board and from where to where?
Gotta date, time and aircraft number?
Prior to our last FOM revision, we used to be able to take anyone listed on an employee's travel benefits on a ferry flight (wife, kids, parents) even if the employee wasn't traveling with them. The new revision strictly now states only employees can non-rev on ferry flights. Is this an East thing or a step back for everyone because I think this sucks.

Holy crap...it's the management folks...RUN!!!!!!
To be management demands less than a two digit IQ and I have never been able to dumb myself down that far.
I believe any captain should have the authority to take whoever he damn well pleases, not to bump paying pax. I have an in-law who flies for a foreign carrier into/out of the US and he takes whoever he damn well pleases on the jumpseat.
The fact that American pilots are so stupid as to buy onto such idiotic restrictions compared to the rest of the world just shows how many cowards fly the US skies. Damn sheep.

No, I didn't memorize the date, time and a/c number, but anyone who worked CRAF will tell you that on the flight returning from the Middle East through Europe back to Philly would have included two ferries with complete crews nonrevving (to get home earlier) and the occasional non-crewmember. There have been other ferries where non-revs got on by falling upon the flight by chance.
I have been on some Mesa operated ferry flights out of IAD...Those are nice if we can catch them...as they enable us to nonrev to somewhere without being ticketed sometimes.

I don't think you're missing anything. It's just a bigger tube of aluminum that flies just like the little ones. Now if they leave the liquor cabinet open that might make it more interesting.

What an idiotic statement, Captain should be able to take whoever he/she wants on the jumpseat? What do you think they own the acft? Pay for fuel of another body who might have purchased a ticket? Feed that person? Have our res agents/rampers work for that freebie? What a bonehead!!
