Hello all, Very stupid question but I have to ask even though I think I may have the answer. When you fly for an airline, if there is an available jumpseat that another pilot isn't taking up in the cockpit, if the F/O and CA approves it, would someone be allowed to take that seat or is it against the FAA? For instance, if I were flying for John Doe Airlines and my captain and I say that it is ok that one of our parents could fly in the cockpit on the jumpseat, would it be possible? Are there just different policies for different airlines? Thanks to all who take the time out to answer my question even though it is probably way out of the question. |

Basically, no it's not possible. In order to ride in the cockpit jumpseat you have to have special authorization. You can't just let anybody you feel like up there.

NO. The jumpseat guidelines are controlled by TSA and the airline. It is a highly controlled seat that only select people are allowed in. |

It's not a stupid question, it's learning.
