Like it or not, AirTran charges jumpseaters, it's that simple. The first offline guy is free, the rest are supposed to pay.
Pre 9/11 we had THE most open js policy, bar none. We would take ANYONE with an ID badge and a commercial pilots license. Then management of this airline came up with a way to make money off of commuters.
The fact of the matter is, we charge for what we used to consider, and every other airline still considers, "jumpseating".
Call it a walk up pass if it makes you feel better, but it is what it is.
Side-Stick- You are required to show a pilots license and medical as a condition of purchasing this BS walk up pass. As such you'd better be prepared to introduce yourself to the capt. and present your ID, medical and certificate, as per our FOM. I can guarantee you, failure to do so will result in you being removed off any flight I'm operating.
