Being from another airline I'm not allowed either, so if as many people as possible were allowed, they would free up a potentiel cabin jumpseat for me.
Why does bring the captain’s family make any difference? Red herring.
UK law is pretty clear - You hold an airside pass as operating crew, have been vetted, and have access to jumpseats. Or you don’t.
Stricter than the continent, absolutely, but them’s the rules.
