You would rather not know that you had a resource back there? Wow....:cool:

If you have a boarding pass and a seat number assigned, you're not longer a jump seater. As sign of respect many pilots check with the captain in the old fashion way, but still a company decision.
A total different history if you are actually taking the jump seat.

Watching this CA not even introduce himself or his FO after I did was the first sign of his attitude. He wanted to see all of my licenses, medical and crew badge to which he gave everyone a solid inspection. Why all this to sit in the back?

Point is why must we go out of our ways at time to make a commuter feel like a pain in our side. If you are not riding the jump and you need to get home, welcome aboard and take a seat.
You're gonna be a good Captain someday O.J.

I dunno...I've never heard of a FA having to ask for a ride!

If the cabin JS is been taking by a FA, the captain say ride or not. Like I said before, different history if you have a boarding pass with a seat number assigned.

If you are a legit non-rev, you technically don't need to check in although it's a nice courtesy if time permits.

If you are a jumpseater,even with a cabin seat, you need to check in (especially if you are offline). If you don't do this, don't be surprised when you get booted.

It is not a company decision, a CA can still bump you if you do not check in. Granted some CA's give you a crazy look when you check in with a seat assignment but the one time you dont check in will be the time you get called to the front when the CA sees a jump on his loadsheet and nobody came up to say hi

Don't try that at Delta. If you list as a jumpseater, and then the agent gives you a seat in the back, you are still a jumpseater and are listed on the paperwork like that. At least 80%+ guys will kick you off for not checking in, or at least make you come to the front and give you a lecture.

Now, if you are an actual nonrev, and hold a seat request card, or are on any kind of ID??, then you don't have to check in. This includes OAL FAs who are actually on an ID100, even though they refer to it as "jumpseating."

Was she hot? If so no problem, but you get one of those heifers/holstiens with the 'tude I'm like hey cappy, see that two legged bovine grazing on the Biscoffs? Well..............

A little courtesy goes a long way in the biz, hot or not, its' just courtesy to say hi. I had a UPS jumpseater once, he came across as a arrogant pompous jerk at first, but after that, he was okay. I was jumpseating on go jet once, or tried to, the captain threw me off saying he had a United guy needing to go to work, he was leaving O'hare.

Well,made me a little late for my show time. Anyway later, that same Captain tried to jumpseat when I was in control. I told him to go INTERCOURSE YOURSELF.

What airline do you work for? AA has Limited and Unlimited JS agreements. If your carrier allows unlimited JSers then AA allows as many of your pilots on an AA flight as there are seats. If your company allow only 1 JS regardless of seats in the back then AA reciopactes that and will on let 1 JSer from your company. Thats probly why you were not allowed on. Just depends on your company.
