I get it, dalad. I'm not trying to promote this is as routine. This discussion has highlighted the pitfalls of giving up the PS seat. Your example, and other examples, show that there are still too many egregious errors committed by gate agents.

I was mostly thinking along the lines of an exception such as this:

I've only done it once- I walked up to the gate house and made sure there were no jumpseaters, and then verified the captain was aware of the situation was ok with it

Guys,

Thanks for all the input. Specifically thanks to:

Buzz, Scambo, Jetnfast (great knocking back a few with you :)), Unusual Attitude, Pb4ufly, and qball.

Still working the logistics on the MSP trip so any additional input would be greatly appreciated.

Atl employee parking

Hi all. On camp creek parkway where do I turn to get into the delta employee parking lot? Any easily visible signs? Driving in to park tomorrow for first time in Atl from PTC. I know to stay on I85 and turn off on camp creek parkway then drive .9 miles west and then I'll see it. ???

Ps I have the decal on car.

Thanks for the help!

Take a left just before the big gas station. There is a traffic light too.

Welcome to PTC and ATL.

Heading west from 85 on Camp Creek you will go through 1 light (big convention center is on the left) and then down a big hill. The parking lot is the next stoplight (take a left.) There is a new gas station there as well - I think it's a racetrack, but not 100%.

I'll second that that's a crap violation for a multitude of reasons unless he was actively distracting the crew.

When you're a jumpseater you are part of the the crew. I'm not giving up my positive space seat in back to ride in cockpit & be part of the crew. Non-revs that don't get on can take the next flight. If I were non-revving I would never expect a crew member to sit in jumpseat so I or one of my family members could get on.

You also don't have to be qualified on the aircraft or even a pilot to sit in the jumpseat. Violating a jumpseater for an altitude bust is crap.
