Cargo ops etc + an extra question

Hi everybody,

I was wondering if there are cargo operations out there (maybe or probably in the part 135 world) that offer you a 15 on 14 off or something along those lines schedule? I'm talking about an operation for the entry pilot level (not one of the B742 operators) ~1200 hrs typa thing...

Question:
Do part 135 pilots (Ameriflight pilots for instance) get free jump seats (last in priority of course) on 121 carriers / regionals in particular?

Thanks!

AMF Jumpseating

Ameriflight has a reciprocal jumpseat agreement with Southwest Airlines, and all AMF pilots are also in CASS, so they are all cockpit authorized if all the seats in the back are full. Fellow AMF pilot friends of mine have been able to jumpseat on other 121 airlines on an individual basis.

AMF has limited TDY pilot slots. I believe those have a 3 weeks on, 1 week off schedule. You get homebased (within reason), and per diem. Although these are very competitive slots.
