You realize this is the federal government that you're dealing with, right?

Show me where it says someone who flies as an offline commuter sitting in the cabin can’t drink? In this case jumpseat is a verb, not a noun. Notwithstanding a specific companies ops specs.

Jumpseat, cabin or not you’re getting a free ride.
Don’t expect a free meal or free drinks.
I wouldn’t ask for alcohol simply as a courtesy.

Why do people need booze to be amused? Personally I like the idea of eating as many gas inducing foods before I non-rev in the back to watch the people around me react.

I am a little late to the party, but if I have to think about if I can or cannot have alcohol on a plane, I play safe and say no.

Last time I checked booze isn’t free.
Its a perk for rewards member s traveling First/Business.
You get a seat that just happens to be available, doesn’t mean you get the perks associated with it.
Certainly don’t ask for anything that isn’t offered.
Yes I’ve accepted free lunch boxes but only when offered by the FA’s.
I certainly wouldn’t think to ask for alcohol.
Bit of a douche bag move by the FA to report him to the Capt but he should have asked for a soda.

Yes mooching is low class. I always try to pay as a non rev, on or off line, for food or drink. Most of the time I’m told to put my card away. The tone I’m getting from some on here is that not only would it be bad form, but illegal to even purchase alcohol.

Alcohol can obviously be free depending on in which class someone sits. Not necessarily Frequent Flyer status, but it can be part of it. If Jumpseating... No Alcohol... As they consider you a ACM as mentioned above. Of how much use you can be in the case your skills are required is a different discussion.

Uh no....the company pays and it sure isn’t the same price as the little bottle of water or their bad coffee.
