Jumpseating on ASA?
I am a newhire with ASA and I have yet to jumpseat. I would like any advice on how the process works. Do I just go up to the gate and ask if I can jumpseat? I am intrested in sitting up front and watching the crew go through the checklists and callouts. I figure I could learn a lot by just observing. I know part of my initial training will include jumpseat IOE, but I would like to do it before I get to the sim. Thanks

once you are in the CASS system and you have your ASA id, you CAN jumpseat on any airline where the captain lets ya. Always say thank you. Bring your certificates and passport, have had a few captains look thru them all but none have had any issue with me riding up front or in the back

So I should just go to the gate with my ASA ID and ask to jumpseat and once I board ask the captain if he minds if I jumpseat. And i should have my passport and certificates handy. If there are any ASA captains on the forum how would you handle this situation? Would you welcome a newhire into the cockpit?
