Sort of true-
You cannot ride IN THE JUMPSEAT, however, riding as a "jump seater" in the cabin is possible with your ID alone. Not being in CASS will only prevent access to the flight deck seat.
I rode southwest during training, no problem. But during check in the agent did mention it had to be a cabin seat. (Your airline/agent results may vary, but CASS/Jumpseat occupation vs. a "Jumpseat agreement" ...can ride in cabin...are not the same thing)
For our class 12/7/15 it was generally true that you weren't in CASS/KCM database until after Checkride was complete.
