|  The Jumpseat
You will have to excuse me, I am rather aviation retarded...If my question strikes you as naive, it is merely becuase I have only ridden in an airplane twice... That said, what are America West's policies on, say, civilians sitting in the jumpseat on landing, etc. Especially in post 9/11 times. Has this ever been offered to civilians? Is it still? Will the captain look at me like I'm the proverbial sack of poo if I even adress him on the issue? Will he whip out his FAA-approved walkie talkie and threaten me? BTW I'm a seventeen yr. old, and I'm new here, so go easy. Thank y'all |

You won't even be able to get into the cockpit at all in flight, so getting a seat on the jumpseat would be impossible. Damn Terrorists ruining it for everyone  |

Non-working crew members have not been allowed in the cockpit during flight for some time now. (Not sure if this was just a company policy or a fed thing.) But even if we were deadheading we were not allowed to go up front. As a civilian, you would not be able to ride in the cockpit of a United States airliner at any point during the flight. The rules for international airlines may differ, you'd have to check with the airline. |

You're not getting that jumpseat. Period. Don't mean to burst your bubble, but that's the way it is. |
