Private travel as Extra Crew
Pre 9/11 we had a system where a Head Flt Ops would sign an "Extra Crew" form for pilots or cabin crew so that one could travel without purchasing a ticket. People living out of base had a permanent one so they could commute. It was also authority to use jump seat if the flight is full. However it was canceled by upper management on security concerns. Now we are trying to put a similar procedures back in force. I guess other companies have some kind of procedure in force and wonder if anyone would share it with me. I'm not interested in security sensitive matters, just how you do that so people don’t have problem with airport and airline security people.
