AA jumpseat question
Can any AA pilots here answer a question for me?
When I hitch a ride on ya'll, and all the overhead space is gone, it is hard to get my bag accommodated. On Airways, I get a gate valet tag, or, most of the time, I just talk to the crew and throw it in the cockpit or put it in the FA closet. Numerous times I've seen room in the FA closet or in your cockpit (MD-80), but it is never offered, and once i asked an FA to use her closet which had plenty of room, and was refused.
Just wanted to know why I can't get a valet tag or throw my bag in the cockpit or closet. I've always been polite in asking. Any reasons why?
