How much clearer do you expect? I double say "if it is your company's policy!"!

If the guy said it's company policy, why are you STILL arguing with him and quoting the FAR as in post 97?
If a jumpseater walks on board in shorts and flip flops and the CA denies him on the plane, even a seat in the back, sorry to break it to you. He's NOT going to have to answer to ANYBODY.

I can't believe this thread is still going.

I don't want to argue how this dispatcher's reasoning is wrong, so I will just post this.

Since this thread has deteriorated into whether a captain has PIC authority until the door is shut I might as well kill this thread entirely...

That is all.

Atlas, I'm not trying to troll, just figuring out the whole system. Travelling standby is a pain, so I tend to avoid it except for when I used to commute. I may be doing some travelling later this year though, so I wanted to make sure I had it straight in my head.
Thanks for all who replied. I suppose when in doubt, I'll talk to the CA.

There is no grey area here.. no doubting the procedure. You owe it to yourself to get this right. It's a long career (if you're lucky?) Why make it harder on yourself and everyone else?

LateralFlyer, it isn't "reasoning", it's reading FARs and Opspecs.
Of course the company is going to listen to a cap if he an issue with a pax, but at the same time, that is not free rein for (nor a right) for captain to do as he wishes, with no questions asked.
Obviously the chief will get involved with any unusual circumstances (and scream "opspecs! ... pilot in command!" all you want).
Who are you trying to kid?
