[QUOTE=1800 RVR]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.[/QUOTE
Returned from Iraq on UAL....the cockpit door was open....enjoy!

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.

Good luck with the JS and thanks for your service to the USA.
