Ok here's the scenario. You're commuting to work on your company aircraft or the mainline aircraft your company flies for. You're in uniform but you are riding on a non-rev pass. Do you check in with the Captain?

This thread has been done before.

I don't check in because I don't care if another pilot checks in with me when non reving.

You'll get 20 different answers and variations from the next 20 posts.

Our pass travel sucks. If you check-in with me, you'll just be rubbing my face in it. Besides, I'm too busy shooting the sh__ with my FO. Oh, and all that other 'Pilot' stuff...

Seriously, don't check-in unless you're asking for the jumpseat.

This is ridiculous. I don't care if you're in the back unless you're JSing. If you check in with the crew when you're not JSing 9 times out of 10 they will either look at you and say "okay...." or make fun of you as you walk back to your seat. The whole point of riding on a pass is so you can relax and just be a regular pax. For us riding on a pass costs zero so the only reason to ride JS is if u need the JS.

I agree. If I know that getting an open cabin seat will not be an issue, I dress in regular clothes and blend in. The heck with "I want to get my liquids through," I will gladly leave my liquids and buy travel size when I get to my destination.

No. Doesn't matter what clothes you are wearing, you're just like any other passrider and I don't see any of them checking in with me, nor do I want or expect them to.

I have actually had a couple guys drill me with questions asking if I was jumping or not ( mainline) and it seems the flight attendants have always drilled me with questions. One even said are you sure your non reving, did you fill out a form? Always ride the same airline and it seems they are quite paranoid.

Dont wear your uniform when non-reving. Problem solved. Travel size products are cheap
