Better check that FOM one more time.
"All credentials must be verified prior to allowing flight deck or cabin access."

I stand corrected. Good find.

No problem. Finding anything in that thing is like finding a needle in a haystack.:)

I read the jumpseat section three times and went right over it!

I guess I really am low tier.

Well someone like you did that to me except the pilot before me had left pieces of paper on the deck, I just didn't bother to pick them up, then the pilot after me put them in my v-file. He probably pumped his chest just like you.

It's possible! It seems to me that there may be a cautionary tale there about the hazards of kicking the can down the road. Now if you'll excuse me, much chest pumping to do today. Enjoy your day!

This made me smile :)

A couple of years ago we got an email from the union reminding us to check credentials on all JSers even if they have a seat in the back. The story goes that a crew was getting a line check from a fed. JSer checks in with the Captain, Captain tells him to grab a seat. After the formalities are done fed goes back to get JSers info since he is an XCM. Guy didnt have his license or medical on him so the Captain gets violated.

After that email I always check.

The guy asking about measurement conversions on guard. *** dude?

You touched it, you owned it. I always leave the plane clean and organized for the next people, even if I have to clean up the previous crew's mess. Whether or how I address the issue with the previous crew is my problem, but I don't just pass it along.
