If you use the PS seat, it's an off rotation deadhead, the answer is NO (no libations). Nor can you have any alcohol in your system.

Ditto if it's a PS seat to/from training.

Think this changed a year or two ago? (maybe 3?) I really do wonder what the incident/incidents were that precipitated the change? I looked it up a couple of months ago when a new-ish hire asked.

Fly safe.
