All jumpseaters are issued boarding passes.
The cockpit jumpseats (available to pilots of any airline) are numbered 1W and 2W. Cabin jumpseats (issued only to AA and AE employees with flight attendants qualifications) are numbered 4X and higher depending on equipment type and minimum staffing levels.
