jumpseating and upgrades

[chrian_dk]

dear air canada crew,

do you have a system where european pilots can jumpseat with you, or is it exclusive to your own company, and what about upgrading, talk to your desk or people onboard...

thanks beforehand..

Sorry buddy.

I've lived and worked in Spain, now a Canadian flying in Hong Kong.
Iberia always treated me well, always First or Business, jump seats anywhere.

Air Canada doesn't allow jumps seaters from carriers that haven't a JS agreement. Additionally, if you buy a ticket and try and upgrade @ the gate, you'll find it difficult. There are some agents that will bend the rules, but thats rare.

Good luck and sorry.
