Passport Card for jumpseating?

[NEDude]

Hello,

I will need to be without my passport for 2-3 months while a residency permit is being processed for another country. If get a new passport card, can I use that for jumpseating purposes in lieu of my regular passport, or do I have to rely on a seat open in the back during the time I am without the passport?

And yes, eventually I will be commuting from another country on a part-time basis.

I guess Virgin didn't work out so well for you, eh? Or was that jetBlue? I can never remember whose Kool-Aid you were slurping.

 

[NEDude]

The kool aid is working out very well for me and have no intention of leaving my current job at Virgin. Thank you for your concern. What does that have to do with my question? Or are you just trolling? Obviously the latter. Crawl back under your rock.

In case you have a less developed brain like my friend here, it is possible to be a resident of another country and still be a U.S. citizen and work as an airline pilot in the States. That is what I will be doing.

So you'll be commuting from overseas to Virgin? You'll probably be able to make more running your string of hookers.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Good luck with that!

I don't believe the passport cards can be used for air travel for revenue passengers, so I would check with the actual airline you plan to use before trying it (or have a back-up plan).

Would obtaining a second passport be an option?

NE, ask our jumpseat coordinator. He is pretty sharp on these issues and can get you info from your preferred commute carriers.

Good luck on the move...

Not planning on using the passport card for international travel, it cannot be used for that. Just for domestic commuting while the other country has my passport. Not making the move until after I get the residency permit and my passport back.

Hey... Sent you a PM... Update... Passport card can only be used at land border crossings.

Thank you for proving my point about your less developed brain.

I've used a color copy of my passport on SWA before without any problems.

I was denied the jumpseat by SWA when I only had a copy of passport. DAL otoh, let me on without even checking for a passport. My guess is that your experience will vary depending on who the agent is.

Jumpseat

CASS requires a valid passport to ride in the cockpit.

If you were denied a seat in the back on SWA, and your carrier is on our list, you should have been allowed to board and ride in the back.

cards can only be used for travel to Canada and Mexico.

unless it is by air, then a passport is required.

it seems like a lot of the software these days requires the passport regardless of whether you are in the actual. .... remember when an id, pen and jumpseat form worked !

Yes, I am well aware of that. Again I am NOT planning on using the passport card to travel internationally, I am asking if it can be used for CASS verification for domestic jumpseating. That is all, nothing more. I know that I have to use my actual passport when traveling by air internationally. The other nation has to have possession of my passport while they process my residency permit, after which I will get it back. I will be in the USA while the permit is processed so I will not need it for international travel, just jumpseating.
