So let me ask this, if I’m on an 8 month EIL and I’m not required to have a current medical or be a current qualified pilot, your are telling me that I’m still am an ACM and you want me to show you my current medical (which I don’t have)?
or some other leave such as FMLA
or some other leave such as FMLA
( not possible because I’m also EIL ) I’d tell you to get bent for literally taking zero initiative and thinking you’re special.

I’ve commuted half my career and never had a problem. I always stop
up and say hi. When a jumpseater comes up for a ride, I don’t expect the whole kiss the ring spiel. We are all just trying to goto work or go home and see our families. If you expect your own teammates to pull out all the documents just to sit in back and have a nice conversation with you then so be it. You do you. Occupying the actual jumpseat is a different animal and I will ask to see their stuff...

We have had issues with people not asking for the proper identification when jumpseaters ride in the back. Don’t let it come back to bite you because you are too cool to ask or just don’t care. It’s CYA and doing your job not being king of the Jumpseat.

I would love for a captain to try to think they can deny me a ride as a non-rev even though I am not asking for a ride. Lol
I am riding as a Spirit employee, not asking for a ride a pilot.
Now If I sign a CASS form or list in CASS, then that is a different ball game.

You are missing the point. I’m just trying to show you a situation where you are a Spirit pilot at the moment but you are not qualified pilot at the moment (through no fault of your own) and you are getting a ride as an employee and not as a pilot.

You can even jumpseat with a medical downgraded to 2nd class privileges. So even if you let your first class lapse, you still hold valid 2nd class privileges (based on age) for 6 months.
I let my medical privileges downgrade to second class while on EIL and would still be able to jumpseat. Don’t need a first class medical to jump on Spirit.
Zero reason to maintain a first class on EIL. 0.0 reason

Ah. Reminds me of the time an AA captain blocked my path while deplaning to berate me in front of passengers over not asking for the Jumpseat.... after I had non-revved as an AE employee. Same dude that mentioned he was in the military in every PA
