FM1 3.12.1 C. "Drinking of any alcoholic beverage by any employee on duty (including deadheading and any type of training) or in uniform or by any crewmember at any time within a 12-hour limit prior to going on duty is forbidden."



So no drinking on deadheads and no drinking in the 12 hours prior to going on duty. Since most deadheads occur while on duty the 12 hour rule applies to deadheads. I'm not sure about company travel for non operational stuff (ie. training) but I wouldn't risk it.



No. You are under zero obligation to take a jumpset on an A pass. The only time I have ever taken a jumpseat on an A pass was when I couldn't make it into a normal seat as an A3, it was the last flight of the night home, and there were no other pilots attempting to get on the flight.
