Anyone have a good method for getting through security when attempting to jumpseat? Every time I've tried to go through TSA without already having a gate pass or jumpseat boarding pass from the ticket counter, a supervisor has been called over and I've had about a 50% success rate from there. The obvious answer is to list or get a gate pass at the ticket counter, but I've been told many times (depending on the airline) that they don't do that and my airline ID is good enough to get past security. Then TSA says I need a boarding or gate pass since I'm not in "uniform" and not in KCM. Has anyone tried using the confirmation page from listing online for AA/B6/WN? I'm in the process of getting PreCheck, which may help a bit, but I'm sure I'll still have issues with TSA not knowing what to do with a jumpseating dispatcher.
