Devils advocate, did you even bother to read ukhomerj's question? He states that he is a student pilot, so I imagine he has had more than a 'trial lesson'.
You are also wrong regards use of the 'jump seat'. Non operating crew are allowed to use it at the discretion of the commander. The occupant muct be company personnel.
DA, try harder, there is enough drivel on here these days without peeps not reading the blooming question...
