Jumpseat Denied

[mynameisjim]

What does that matter?

It's the way he said it. It made me curious and I asked him to specify what he meant. Everyone else has just started assuming they know what he meant.

It actually is a trend with NWA. I have been denied the jumpseat on 3 occasions in the last 2 years for the sole reason that I am a JB pilot. To quote the 9 captain "Im sorry, I don't take you guys" IB6 works here as well and I promise you that the reason is that he works for JB. This gets really old after a while. We have very few problems jumpseating on anyone except NWA. Yes, there are still a few flareups here and there but for the most part they are the biggest culprits in this. We have the most liberal jumpseat policy in the industry yet we get the most crap....really nice. I would never say that we should start a JS war as that does not accomplish anything but a letter to the JS committee is a good start. As for posting the info here....great idea as well.

Does JB have a written agreement with NWA? If so, this guy is way out of line. If not agreement, you dont have much to argue.

now why would there be any flareups???

We (AirTran pilots) had 3 instances within a year, all on NWA. He was a MEM based DC9 CA.

Funny thing is, one of the pilots he denied a few months prior had a mechanical in MEM, and during the long wait, he decided to look up the NWA DC9 CP there and tell him about it. :laugh:

That was the last time I heard of this happening on NWA.

NO PERSONAL NAMES

Yes, there are still a few flareups here and there

Wait is this about the jumpseat or your herpes? They gave you the blue gloves for a reason

I am using a cream for the jumpseat herpies.....but it just wont go away.

Yes we have a written agreement with NWA. This was way out of line.

A handful at NW were always a bit more militant than others, and probably always will be. Every company has their 10%, although there it might be more like 15%...

I am not nor have I ever been an ALPA member. Does not "having an ALPA card" mean simply that or is there another reason one wouldn't have a card? (ie. line crosser etc.)
