Would it be considered odd for me to travel in uniform if I haven't even completed training yet? If not, what's the best way of communicating to the crew/gate agent (other than plain language that I just want to jumpseat for training purposes)
I'd definitely like to get some experience prior to maneuvers, especially since I have a 2 week gap till then! Thanks!
In uniform. You’ll soon wear business casual once per year: CQ.
With United you can list for the jump. With delta go to the gate. American & Alaska idk.
Be there 50 min early so you can grab a crew member and bring you down. If listed.
Ask questions. We like to help.
Feel free to note how things can differ on the line vs schoolhouse. But pls don’t correct us. We know.
DO work on your callouts RIGHT NOW.
Good luck.
