Sitting in the jumpseat on Euro-flights
I will be taking a vacation in Europe and wanted to fly (using some ZED fares) to Innsbruck, Austria. I have always wanted to see the approach to this airport from the front... would I (in uniform and with my FAA licenses, Airline-Identification Badge) be able to sit in the jumpseat, or are european jumpseats closed to non-JAA pilots? Are there any special policies for obtaining a jumpseat pass (in the USA, we just go to the gate and request a jumpseat pass if there are no seats in back or we just dont want to sit in back. Discression always remains with the captain though).
Thanks,
Brendan
