I'm confused. Are you saying some Capts decide they want jumpseaters to check in and this note like appears on the paperwork that the gate agent doesn't read? Sorry, I'm easily confused....
I’m not sure how well aware the gate agents are to what’s in the FOM regarding jumpseating. And some pilots too to for that matter.
Officially, even though it’s written this way in the manual, I’m not sure I’d spread the word through a JS committee that we don’t require a check in to CA if you get a seat in the back - even though it’s officially written this way in the FOM.
Most nearly all pilots seem to check in with me even when they have a seat in the back. I don’t mind, it’s nice to drop by and to know who’s back there.
