[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 1010039, member: 22880"] Jump seating (for off duty employees) didn't disappear right after 9/11. It went away around late 2005 - early 2006. The reason it went away is because the pilots didn't want a bunch of wage employees bothering them. From what I understand (would need to get confirmation on this), Express employees on company business (traveling for the purpose of Express business) can still jumpseat. This may have changed in the last year or so without my knowledge, so someone needs to confirm this. Jumpseating was eliminated due to the pilots and not some TSA regulation. Again, if there was a change in TSA regulations in the past year or so, this would need to be confirmed. There is a requirement for individuals flying on a commercial carrier (jumpseating) - to have some form of security screening (metal detector, etc), and to have any personal luggage they have with them in the passenger area searched. Ramp agents (other than the hubs) perform this search. I searched plently of jumpseaters when I was in AGFS. There is no requirement for those flying in non-commercial aircraft (business jets, etc.) to have any search done on them whatsoever. They merely hand the flight crew their bags - they are loaded into the baggage hold (without ANY screening whatsoever), then the passengers get on the aircraft and away they go. Just like getting into your personal vehicle or a charter bus and traveling somewhere. [/QUOTE]
