Cargo Jumpseat Information & Security
 

Due to the nature of cargo ops on remote pads, people frequently have questions about JS procedures.

Please review the APC TOS (excerpt below) before posting this sort of info. For cargo purposes, it should be OK to describe how to actually get to the cargo ops facility but anything beyond that is TMI. If you're confident that someone posting here is legit, you can make the call to share more info via pmail, but that's all on you. Ideally, detailed procedures should be passed via union or company channels.

We do take security seriously here, for specific good reasons. We are a relatively small community and most people flying professionally on 9/11 knew somebody who was impacted one way or another. One of the AA pilots used my AME, and some of the hijackers actually trained at my FBO... I was almost certainly in the FBO or on the ramp at the same time as they were, if only I had known.

Thanks for your cooperation.
