I was off to paris last week with my airline on standby tickets. The flight was going via another airport, where I got off loaded, as all the seats were full.
The jumpseat was free, but I'm not allowed on it under any circumstance. Despite the fact I'm a captain.
The whole thing ruined my night away with my girlfriend.
If i'm flying its of, but if I'm a passanger i'm a security risk?
And also, if both pilots die enroute, am I then allowed on the flightdeck?
The whole thing is an outdated reaction to 9/11.
