Passport Card for jumpseating?

[Mr Wu]

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.

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.
