I think I might have spotted the one tiny flaw in your cunning plan Most crewmembers are to tight to pay hotel rates for food

paull - why bother buying a ticket at all. just slip them both the "delay acting" drug and sit back and watch CNN! (just incase some don't get it.. I'm taking the piss)
I really can't get my head around some people's obsession with security. yes something happened 12 years ago, but if people keep this up its as if your already beaten.
You could remove the flight deck door on every aircraft in the world for a year and nothing would happen. bring back the days of allowing the crew to invite pax to the flight deck

What makes me think that? Post 79 by Claybird:
"(...)
Now, in the extreme case a pilot neither jump-seats nor dead-heads (which is unusual for US carriers because -with the exception of AA- they provide unlimited flying privileges to flight deck crew both domestic AND international flights) then flight deck crew travelling as regular pax are required to notify the gate agent AND the captain, if possible, of their presence on the aircraft.

But then, if it sound too good to be true, it probably is...

I don't think that's exactly right...it's more like positioning (in uniform maybe?) to a base of operation and to start work...not for holiday flights...If it was for recreational use, there has to be a ticket and taxes etc have to be paid...maybe some one who actually does it can set me right? As for notifying the Captain... Is that an FAA requirement? I fly quite a few sectors as a passenger in and out of the US (and the rest of the world per year) both positioning and on leave and have never felt it was required...don't want to bother anyone and I like my privacy!

OK, I had understood that post to be a reference to duty travel.
It's hard to see how any US airline could make money if all of its flights were full of freeloading aircrew on vacation.

From an insurance point of view: Migraine is characterised by recurrent headaches with visual disturbance and nausea. Attacks can vary from one to two a year to several times a week. The duration and severity of attacks also vary and severe attacks can last from six to eighteen hours. Certain factors can trigger migraine - bright sunlight, stress, certain foods (chocolate, cheese) are all factors. Treatment by tablet form generally relieves all symptoms. Prognosis is good unless a major underlying cause is present. Wishing him/her the best.
