QUESTION:
Could you have a cocktail before jumpseating?

Is a a jumpseater (sitting on flightdeck) considered 'available crew'? Example: in case of working pilot incapacitation or another UA 232?

How about if cabin jumpseating?
No. You cannot drink while jumpseating in the cabin or the cockpit. You are part of the crew and can be asked to assist at any time. Alcohol FAR's apply.

It should never have occurred to anyone that it was even a question.

he just wanted to get the discussion to 10 pages.
Plus I'm sure 2 or 3 will chime in saying it's ok to drink before jumpseating...

Eight inches bottle to throttle. Eight feet for drugs.

Had a guy jumpseat with us the other day. He hops on board, pokes his head in and says, "Hey dudes! Thanks for the ride!" then leaves. The captain and I were so dumbfounded by this that we just stared at each other for a bit before we realized what just happened. The worst part is he works for us. ?!?

I always stick my head into the cockpit and say thanks for the ride, but I introduce myself first and make sure it is indeed ok for me to get a ride. I will, however, occasionally have a drink if I'm in the cabin IF I'm completely out of uniform.

If he works for you maybe he was non-reving?

If you are jumpseating (as opposed to non-rev), then you are PROHIBITED from consuming alcohol for 8 hours prior to the flight.

Being out of uniform will only make you less likely to be abused once you are taken to jail.

Sometimes I smoke a cigar while jumpseating.
