Attire required for Jumpseat in the back
I know it's not allowed on the jumpseat but if I am given a seat in the back, are jeans and a polo acceptable attire for a jumpseater from another airline? Jeans are ok at the airline I work for for everyone. Just wanted to know the rules

Jumpseat dress code is uniform, business, or business casual. I like golf style trousers to throw in your bag. They are packable, breathe well, and don't wrinkle. If you pass ride in the back jeans are fine even in first as long as they are dressy. Pass riding is not the same as jumpseating.

The airlines I worked for had a "no jeans" policy for the jumpseat and if I recall even for non-reving in the back. Perhaps some policies have relaxed over the years.
Having said that, if you apply for the J/S then you must meet the dress code requirement for the J/S. The fact that the Captain offers you a seat in the back is irrelevant in my opinion.
It is best to always be in casual business attire as a minimum.

So what is it with we pilots? Why is it so important to go against the grain and wear jeans or some other non-approved clothing?
Free travel is a huge benefit so don't screw it up for the rest of us!
