Another note about jumpseating, the company really doesn't want you doing it on Republic metal if you aren't typed in the aircraft. I'm not sure if they would find out, but their position is that you should sit in the back until after your checkride, and personally I think it's a good idea to respect that.

I observed in the jumpseat on a couple Republic flights in between systems and sims. Of course I asked the captain each time, and made sure they were aware of where I was in training. They were happy to have me up there, and it definitely helped me do better in the sim. Is there a statement from the company stating they don't want the guys in training to be in the jumpseat? Otherwise it's simply captain's discretion.

I doubt the captains of these aircraft or the gate agents are aware of this policy, certainly it's not on them to police the new hires.

I agree, but for my class at least they made the point several times that until we're typed we shouldn't jumpseat. I'm sure a lot of people have done it, but if company tells me to wait I'm going wait.

Yeah that’s a load of crap. Once we got our badge we were told to jumpseat as much as we can without getting in the way of people going to or from work. We could check flight loads by then and fly out from St Louis and back. Other regionals actually require a couple jumpseat ride alongs for their training.
I disagree with you.
