Also, why are guys even asking for certificates and medicals anymore? I haven’t ask for that crap ever. If the pilot made it past the gate agent, they are good with a company ID. PS…..Delta always asks me for EVERYTHING even my blood type and political affiliation lmao. Half of that was kind of a joke.

This is from ALPA:
In addition to these responsibilities under the FAA’s jurisdiction, the PIC of the aircraft also serves as the in-flight security coordinator per TSA regulations. As a critical link in the security chain, captains have the responsibility to verify each jumpseater’s identity and authority to occupy a flight deck jumpseat. When a jumpseat request is made, whether for a seat in the cabin or on the flight deck, the PIC is responsible for performing the following procedures:
1. Verifying company ID by means of face/name match.
2. Verifying FAA flight and medical certificates.
3. Verifying Cockpit Access Security System (CASS) approval—if questions arise regarding an individual’s CASS approval, it’s recommended that the gate agent recheck CASS while the PIC observes. CASS serves only to meet the employment and identity verification requirement necessary to occupy a flight deck jumpseat. It has no bearing on eligibility to ride in the cabin.
4. Briefing the jumpseater on any relevant items. If a jumpseater is to remain on the flight deck, the captain should ensure that he or she is properly briefed on safety, security, communication, and evacuation procedures. Security procedures should always be briefed verbally because they’re very fluid. Other procedures may be done verbally or by means of a printed, aircraft-specific briefing card in accordance with applicable government regulations and company procedures.
A jumpseater who will occupy a cabin seat doesn’t need to be CASS approved. If the CASS request is denied—and there may be many reasons—that denial should be used as a way to ask a few relevant questions to determine the individual’s actual status. A few security questions that only someone inside a company would know work well for this purpose. It’s important to be proactive in order to keep unauthorized, and potentially dangerous, individuals off the flight deck.
