Default You’re a non-rev??? GO SIT DOWN!!!

“Hey guys, I’m Tyler! I got a seat in the back. I just finished a red eye from Maui and I’m trying to go home. I’ll be in 27F, if you need me.”

First, why in the hell would we need you?

Secondly,……. no one cares!!!! You’re non-revving,…… you’re interrupting,…… you don’t need the Captain’s permission to non-rev on your own airline. GO SIT DOWN!!!

So because Tyler has apparently never been properly educated on jumpseat and/or non-rev etiquette, let’s cover it here:
* If you’re a non-rev, on your own airline, (or it’s affiliate), with a seat assignment,…… JUST GO SIT DOWN!
* If you’re wanting to ride in a cockpit jumpseat, (on-line OR off-line), go to the cockpit, with your boarding pass, license, medical, and company I.d. in hand, and politely ask the Captain you may ride in his jumpseat.
* If you’re off-line jumpseating, but have a seat in the back,….. stop by the cockpit, introduce yourself, ask the Captain for permission to ride in the back, and thank him/her for the ride.

That’s how it’s done.

This all checks out except one thing. If you’re in the mood to talk, it doesn’t hurt to tell the lead FA or a visible pilot that you’re a trained crewmember while you’re passing by. “Hello, I am a crewmember, let me know if you need help with anything” Remember that ABP, able body person, stuff in training? You got an assault on a FA? A strange sound or odor in the cabin? You might be able to help out. It’s just a courtesy thing.

My dream is to be Ted Striker and save the day. You’re darn right I’m telling everyone that will listen I am a pilot. I will be the one wearing my lanyard in civilian clothes.

Shirley you can’t be serious?!

A normal person just says “okay thanks” instead of writing a missive on an anonymous message board

Okay Captain happy, or sometimes on my own metal when I’m commuting I’ll just say hi upfront just to see who’s flying see if it’s anyone I know and be friendly or just to meet new people at my own airline cause you know we are all on the same team….
