FA says you have a jumpseater. Guy comes in and says, “Hi I am XXXXX with American. I’m riding in the back. I have a seat.”
I ask for his badge, license, medical and JS form. He hands them over. JS form says Envoy. His badge says Envoy. I ask, “Are you AA or Envoy?” Response was “Envoy is wholly owned by American.” I tell him to take his seat and welcome. I feel I was quite nice considering the circumstances. The guy was really condescending with his wholly owned response.
Purely out of curiosity, is it your carrier's policy to do a document check for jump-seaters riding in the cabin? I've only ever been carded when I actually have to ride in the cockpit. Honest question; I've never JS'd on Spirit/Frontier/Jetblue and wonder if I ought to have my papers ready if I ever do.
