AA FA tried to sneak a JS...
 
FA tried to jumpseat in the back of my plane...did not even introduce her self...the JS form was obviously half empty...asked my FA to tell her the CA wanted to speak to her...she came up and I saw her pinstripes...asked her if she was a pilot...nope... 'Lady you can't jumpseat you're not a Pilot'...this is not the sixties anymore (thats my license your fooling with)...
Didnt help that AA has bumped ME numerous times with over 50 SA in the back...
Sneaky FA...get off my plane...:p

I thought FA's could ride in the back as long as their was space or in an FA jumpseat?

Who do you work for? Some carriers allow OAL FAs to jumpseat in the cabin, some even on the actual jumpseat.

Depends on company policy. A lot of companies don't want non-company FA's (or pilots) in FA jumpseats because the pax will be asking them for stuff....creates confusion.

Some companies allow FA's to JS in empty cabin seats, some don't. Normally reciprocal agreements.

I should have given more detail...
She was an offline FA trying to JS in the back...Anytime you JS it is common courtesy to introduce yourself to the CA and ASK to sit in your JS. My company does not permit any FA (even our own) in any JS if not working. This AA FA actually lied to my face and said she had the JS on my company last week. She bought an ID90 to get on my plane.

It might stem from the fact that for the FAs, there is a hodge-podge of procedures for different carriers, whereas every carrier handles pilots the same way. At Delta, we allow OAL FAs to "jumpseat," but in actuality they are really on an ID100, so they are not allowed to occupy an actual jumpseat and do not have to check in with the captain, because they are really non-reving.

It must be confusing for them...however...she should not have lied to my face and said she did it last week on my company...
When JS they should always ASK CA for JS...
Non-reving is a different story...
Poor FA's they should have more agreements...

If she was going to be riding in the FA Jumpseat I dont think she should need to talk to you. Actually I would perfer that they never come up and speak to me.

She's gotta be cute if she is coming up to chat.

Come on it's a FA.... Did you actually kick her off?
