Check your company regs. International customs does not like you having a badge on unless you are on duty, including out of uniform deadheading. Most companies don't want you wearing your badge off duty, period.

I was in JFK going to the west coast, I was "randomly" spotted in the terminal. not an international flight, I will check and will just keep my badge hidden. I see many crews wearing their badges on planes and inside terminals not in uniform, especially when checking in at
the gate for seats

thanks for the replies

Isn't it mandatory to identify yourself as a crew member, when nonreving, for security purpouses?

...I don't think it's mandatory while non rev but more of a courtesy, I believe. definitely, check in with the crews when on a different carrier on a JS.

I think the problem I encountered was actually walking around the terminal with my badge on after clearing KCM

Thanks

I submitted mine in the evening and called them the next afternoon to schedule my interview. Quicker than waiting for a call.

So I know that a college degree isn't required to flow. But what is the percentage of pilots at envoy that have degrees? Does a degree help with getting hired?
What about the flows? Does a degree help or get your flow faster to AA?

Put flow in your back pocket. Having a degree could help getting hired without flow or at another airline.

Everyone has a different path in life. Do what's best for you.

It is not mandatory, unless you are an offline jumpseater even if you have a seat in the back. Offline jumpseaters must present their documents to the Captain and request permission for the ride no matter where their seat is. Everyone already knows what's needed if you're stuck in the cockpit jumpseat. If you're on pass travel there are some folks who like to try to be the big shot and tell you you need to stop in and say hi.

They are wrong. It is not required.

Unless there's a company specific policy regarding that. I've jumpseated all over the country and have yet to find that to be the case anywhere.

Saying hi is just a courtesy. And it might get you an extra bag of pretzels if you say hi to the purser.
