HOWEVER, I think this inquiry was about vacation or personal jumpseat travel, which IS allowed -- that's the reason the jumpseat program was set up -- with the proviso that you get back in time to go to work.

Don't forget your passport you may need it for CASS verification. Any and all pilots on the list are always welcome regardless if it is personal travel or a commute.
