Skywest to Aspen
Hey I'm trying to get in to Aspen this coming February on Skywest. Going in from Denver, out to Chicago.
My questions is, are they ever weight limited for jumpseaters? If so, I will make other plans to get there.
Thanks guys!

You could try Eagle out of DFW or LAX as well.

I've never had any issues with weight to ORD. They added 1000' to the runway last year and that's made a world of difference. I could see issues if we were to have a lot of heavies or both cargo bins stuffed to capacity but as I said, I've never had a problem.

I forgot to add even though the plane might not be weight restricted, the Jumpseat may not be available due to the FAA being on board or a line check airman being on board for qualification runs if it's either crew member's first time into ASE.
The FAA tends to ride along a lot, one month I had the same FAA rider in the JS 4 times. He wasn't commuting he'd ride in and then ride back out.

Is Aspen an airport that requires a route qualification for all airlines? I remember I had to do one to Telluride with Great Lakes back in the day...

Aspen does require a route qualification for the first time a pilot goes in.
As far as the FAA it was from LAX and DFW when eagle started flying and they were watching us like a hawk to make sure we weren't going to put a plane into a mountain or something like that. They may have eased off.
