Narrative:

Just prior to push another air carrier's pilot came into the cockpit asking for a jumpseat ride. She had a jumpseat authorization form; but it had the wrong name on it. We called operations and asked about the jumpseater and the wrong name etc.; and were told that it was ok; she was entered in the system; and it will show up on the final weight manifest which it did. Her company identification and pilot credentials were ok. All the cabin seats were full. We were informed later in the flight that the jumpseater should not have been allowed jumpseat access.

Title: A jumpseating air carrier pilot was C.A.S.S. verified; as were the pilot's credentials; but after departure the flight crew was told via ACARS that the jumpseater should not have been given access because her name was not correct on the jumpseat form.
