Okay, rule of thumb - If they look you up in CASS, you are 'jumpseating' no matter if you are in the flight deck, a spare flight attendant seat, or in a comfy first class seat. If you are on the plane, without having been looked up in CASS, you are a non-rev. No matter if it is ZED, ID90,75 or 50, or a company vacation pass.
Remember:
CASS = Jumpseat = ask the captain for a ride.
No Cass = Non Rev = don't ask the captain for a ride.
Cheers!

Hey everyone, I'm gonna be starting to commute from mdt to ewr starting next month, and I'm looking for a website I can use for jumpseat options... Right now I've been using coair (united) and pass rider.com... Pass rider doesn't seem to give all he options I can find thru coair, but obviously I want access to other airlines besides united. Does anyone know of a better website than passrider? Thx

I can tell you from 20 years of experience that the only time you need to check in on a major carrier is when are riding up front in a jump seat. Those guys could care less if you are non-reving or whatever. Some of the commuter/regional guys are a little anal and still get a power trip over the whole check in up front. When I dead head---I never check in. First of all--it is not the Captains airplane---it is owned by a company and that company is deadheading me for a purpose. If the captain has a problem with that---he or she can take it up with the company that is providing the deadhead. I don't mean to sound disrespectful----but some of the commuter/regional drama is just that.

According to you when I Jumpseat like this I should just go sit down and not ask for a ride. Man I feel bad for you if you think this is ok.

I have been doing it over 20 years and have never had one comment from anyone. Maybe in my younger days I was more gung ho about trying to please everyone. If someone does say something to me in the future---I would probably just nod, smile and continue on with may day. It really does not concern me as to what every person I encounter thinks. We run across way too many people, rules, opinions, complaints, egos, etc.... in this business to get all worked up about the little stuff that really does not matter.
