I ask because my FOM tells me I’m supposed to. I’d have a hard time explaining myself to the FAA or CP if something like this ever came up in a debrief.
The jump seat is available as a professional courtesy not a right. I don’t jumpseat often but when I do I have all of my docs ready, medical and certificate included. It’s not that hard.
had that happen to me. Just got a new medical and somehow put the old one in my wallet. found out when asking for JS offline. Got denied, as I should, then went and ride online and got there late. Totally my fault but why can I ride up front on own metal even without a current medical but not on someone else? Originally Posted by CoefficientX
