Default jumpseating on Atlas

Has anyone done it? How do you check flight schedules/route maps?

I haven't flown on them yet but a friend of mine did. Good to go on because the seat is yours as opposed to jumpseating on a pax carrier when you are subject to loads a lot more.

Thanks. So for atlas you can select a destination but there's no way to check departure, arrival, and connection info until you are already registered for the jumpseat??

I have jumped on both Polar and Atlas a couple of times... Polar is easier because they are scheduled flights ie ORD-NRT or ORD-ICN they run almost every day. Now since Atlas is mostly wet-leases for other airlines like China Air/Qantas... you would have to call there operations to find out if they are running between to cities and what times...
Meeting the crew is hard sometimes to... 1. because they are not really going to go out of there way to see if you are there... 2. sometimes they check in at the airline term and you have to call there ground rep and set up a meeting with him so he can give you a pass to go through security...
One time in HKG this almost bit me in my a@#.... But I did get on and I took that same plane from HKG-ICN-ANC-LCK-JFK I was on the plane for like 36 hours... I stunk when I got off! Good luck if you need anymore help send me a PM

Not that its Atlas but Kalitta publishes their schedule online too
http://www.kalittaair.com/schedule.asp

Could be used as a backup or something.
