ABOUT THE COVER There are pilots who unequivocally would rather have a hot poker rammed into one of their eye sockets rather than endure getting to and from work via airplane. Then there are are other pilots who are “relaxed commuters,” aware of their company’s commuting policy (or lack thereof) and plan their commute accordingly. Most pilots fall somewhere in between the two extremes. Regardless of your comfort level, if you’ve decided to be a sky hitchhiker, you need to keep the following phrase uppermost in your mind: JUMPSEATING IS A PRIVILEGE, NOT A RIGHT!
