Once again, read the FOM and 14 CFR 121. I'm not arguing, just stating the facts.

If you can get on the jumpseat.....great, but do it at your own risk (and jeopardize the Captain's career). HOWEVER, be prepared to answer some tough questions if the right TSA or FSDO person asks for your crewmember credentials. A commercial-multi ticket doesn't qualify you as a crewmember.....and niether does attending 121 training. Pass the SIC ride and you get the golden key to the flight deck.
