Jumpseating after drinking.

[LITCHAT7]

Food for thought: Remember UAL232? Souix City crash? What if Dennis Fitch (the jumpseater IN BACK) was drinking? Probably would be a lot more bodies to count.

Or.....maybe he's like johnny fever (WKRP) who's reflexes got better the more he drank!

Seriously though, I doubt him having one or two would've produced a different outcome.....come on. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess you dont drink? Not being offensive, just my guess.

Kind of sick humor, especially if you've lost someone to a drunk driver, but somebody once said "I drive better drunk because I know how dangerous it is, so I'm extra careful".

Anyone ever wash a xanax down with a couple of beers?

Sick humor???? Puleeeez. When did I say ANYTHING about drinking and driving???!!! Your twisting this.

I think alot of these guys have wives who don't let them drink when they are home.

Or have sex either.

Settle down Beavis. I never implied that. It was attempt to lighten it up in here.

Yeah, the flight attendant in the video getting arrested I think.:blush:

Alright, I may have taken your post wrong. It seemed more of an attack initially. Beavis is now on his fourth capt. coke and settling down nicely.

Did he have his sandals and watch on or did he leave it in harrisburg?

That sounds like a good idea. I'm about to go have some "tea" myself....

You beat me to it.

What if there was an emergency that required you to sit in the physical jumpseat or they needed your help up front?

Likely? Probably not. But then again, I'd hate to have to explain to the NTSB or Federales why I had a buzz going on in an emergency when I was an extra crewmember.

It's a shame a jumpseater can't enjoy a drink in the cabin on the way home. However, it today's climate, you're asking for trouble. I agree with previous poster: Drink on your off days.

Just my two cents worth.

You may resume drinking now. :beer:

What The French Toast!

It's all good homie

I have to chime in that it is inappropriate to drink while jumpseating in the cabin. It just opens up unknown cans of worms. It's not stuffy or self righteous, just exercising common sense.

Think about it. A conversation begins with a passenger and it is revealed that you're jumpseating while downing a Beam and Coke. Not good.

Or, how many times has a gate agent assigned you an exit row seat because you're a pilot? The FA's know that you're j/s'ing so if an emergency evac happened, it is likely that you would be called on to assist.....more so than some Joe Schmo passenger sitting in the exit row.

Look, it may not be illegal for you to drink in the cabin while jumpseating. It is also not illegal to get smashed in a bar with your uniform on (sans wings, badge or other company identifying materials). However, legal doesn't mean not stupid.

I'm a boozer myself but, I can wait until I get to where I'm going. So can you.

Additional Crew Member, says it all. Same, no different than drinking inside the 8 hour rule. You might think its ok, if you don't get caught.

It is different. Your not on duty or flying an airplane. Thats what the 8 hour rule applies to.

Read PBR's post again.

Do you see Additional Crew Member?

Just because you are riding in back doesn't mean you can drink without (possible) consequence. Being a jumpseater in the cabin is not the same as non-reving. Pure and simple.

If you want to do it, knock yourself out. Just don't complain later if you get in trouble for doing it.

That is where your small and dysfunctional brain would lead you believe, just like the peaknuckle moron thought it was a good idea to pork the F/A and run around nekkid afterwords. Read your jumpseat card, when you accept the seat you place yourself subject to a few FARs. One of them is possession of a medical certificate, and pilot certificate also.
