If they don't give him a boarding pass and they need me to decide, and/or the jumpseater has to occupy a seat in the flight deck, that's when I may not. Can you imagine if an incident happens with a jumpseater, like trying to shut down engines on us, if they find out that he didn't work for one of the approved carriers?
Kalitta is on our list, so that's an easy one.
Do you have the list memorized? Do you know every carrier on it? Do you check it prior to letting someone sit up front?
I don't.
