Has anyone mentioned the possibility of an offline jumpseater (pilot) and perhaps more than one jumpseater?
I searched the threads and found no reference.
With overseas airlines, something similar to the American concept of an offline jumpseat rider is very rare in my experience. Sometimes you might be allowed to ride in the cockpit on a full aircraft but you still have to buy a ticket (BTDT on LH years ago).
As you perhaps know, there was some offline jumpseat involvement in the planning for the 9-11 attacks.
