Three hots and a cot (or a free ride...;) )

Other AirLine crewmembers and dispatchers requesting jumpseat must have a company ID badge, current medical certificate (not required for dispatcher) and appropriate airman certificate.

If I had a non-flying job at an airline but held a Commercial Cert. would I be able to jumpseat? Ive always wanted to fly on a large cargo jet.

As far as I know, you must be a pilot or dispatcher.
 
Ahh, the dreaded break between training and OE where one loses all of that newly acquired knowledge.

As luck would have it, I'd usually do new aircraft training, do OE and then start a two week vacation where I forget everything. Worked the same way the last three airplanes I've trained on.
 
You think that's bad. Imagine going back to your old airplane immediately after returning from training on the new one... Talk about confused!
 
Oh man, that's got to suck.

I think Southernjets used to do something like that back in the day too.
 
I'm going over the Vol I on occasion. If nothing else, I'll just put my finger by a switch, and if the checkpilot winces, I'll take it off.

I'm most worried about flying an actual airplane. Last time I touched a real one was in September.

Or fly the new airplane for a month, go back to the old airlplane for a month, and then go back to the new plane.
