Hey Buddy. When is the last time you read the FCOM? "Cabin J/S....Flight Attendants or certificated Airman (Pilots, F/Es, Dispatchers) from other US certified Part121 and 135 air carriers with which JetBlue has an agreement."jetblue320 said:Maybe you misunderstood KC-10's answer: he was referring to cockpit/cabin jumpseats specifically. The term jumpseat gets used as a generic term all too often.
JetBlue allows any employee of any US FAR121 air carrier (gate agents, ramp workers, etc.) a ride in any available cabin passenger seat.
As far as the cockpit jumpseats, they must be either Jetblue pilots, CASS approved pilots, or all the other usual suspects like FAA, approved company officers, JB dispatchers, and a few others that are on an FAA approved list.
The cabin jumpseats can be occupied by other airline pilots and flight attendants or on a case by case basis, anyone that is, how you say, door trained? (if that makes sense?)
I think you might have been mistaken about ramp agents riding in the cockpit. Not saying that it hasn't happened, but if it did, it wasn't they norm.
C yaaaa
