jumpseat with no passport

hey i just sent my passport in to get renewed as it expires in 2 months so i am currently with no passport. i really only need it for CASS so that means if I have all my other docs I can still take a seat in the back if one is available, right?

I've never been asked to show a passport while jumpseating, FWIW.

If I am going to have to ride in the front, UAL has ALWAYS asked me for it. If there are seats in the back, I usually don't get asked for it.

Since I am flying in the United system I never get asked by them for my passport. However American always asks for it when I travel through ORD, DFW, or LAX and Frontier has as well in DEN. Allegiant has never asked for it in Vegas yet. Though are just my experiences I have come across so far. I really don't know what would happen if you didn't have it with you. If it means you can only sit in the back I would be screwed with out it since I sit in the actual far more than I get a seat in the back. Loads between ORD, LAX, SFO, and LAS always suck when I am jumpseating!

Delta/Delta Conx requires only if you're in front. Deltamatic(Delta's above-wing system) is programmed to automatically put you on the non-rev list if it was not verified by agent.

Showing them your ID, they were able to electronically verify where you worked as you were in their system for non-rev/DH purposes. When I commuted on CAL (I'm XJT) and had to ride in the front, they also didn't ask for my passport, I'm guessing for the same reason.

I have never tried the Delta side but I don't fly any of their connection flights. Good night all, need some sleep to battle the Santa Anna winds again tomorrow in SoCal. IYK should be a fun flight!
