Requesting to ride Jump-Seat?
Hey folks -
Quick question. My ANG unit is using a civilian carrier (not sure which one...last time it was ATA) to get to an upcoming deployment location over-seas, I'm curious if it would be ill-advised, or frowned upon to see about riding jump seat for perhaps one of our landings / takeoffs.
Post 9/11 is this even feesible?
Thanks!

Not feasible under Part 121. Not sure if that's how mil charters are operated though. It never hurts to ask.

How does jumpseating in the cockpit work? I just got on with a 121 and have yet to start my training, but am wondering how/who you ask to jumpseat upfront? Are you only allowed to jumpseat in the cockpit when there are no available seats in the cabin or is this open whenever you request it?

Hey F15,
I used to work for ATA, however, I did the domestic schedule stuff. I do remember being told by the guys that did the MAC stuff that guys used to get to sit in the jumpseat. I think that has come to an end because of the TSA. Go figure - it's a flight full of only military folks, and the TSA says that you guys aren't safe and the cockpit door has to be closed. You can try asking the crew, but I think you may be out of luck.

The best thing to do is contact your company's jumpseat coordinator. Ways to access cockpit jumpseats really should not be discussed on this very public forum. Try asking your jumpseat coordinator, they'll brief you on all you need to know.
