This is unfortunate. The jumpseat should always remain neutral. This Captains name is being circulated and hopefully our commuters will let him hear how much of an A-hole he is for starting this kind of crap...

Some things just don't change.

I'm shocked. An angry, entitled East pilot overwhelmed by emotion making stupid decisions? Never heard that before...so out of character. LOL!

If any American pilots read this, I apologize for the unacceptable behavior of one of our pilots. He is not representative of our pilot group, east or west.

I predicted this a few months ago when the merger was announced, its only starting "AA V US Air East and West". Now the trolls will have something new to feast on and put the 'SWA V AT' to bed and deal with the AA V US Air issues instead.

Jumpseat should belong to the company not the Capt. I've had several old timers from American kick me off since being in the majors and each time was a bunch of BS. Situations like this and my experiences would be avoided if the company controlled the jumpseat.

Ditto, he should be disciplined.

No big deal. More press than it deserves. 14K plus pilots and both sides will have their nutjobs.

Rode US last December. Great ride, friendly folks. Was treated far better than by my own dysfunctional "family".

We need to hook up and share each others nutjob stories. I'm tired of listening to the same things over and over.

Need new material.

True statement here. You can't judge any airline by a few nutjobs. It's kind of a shame that pilot's like that are not essentially weeded out. He has demonstrated behavior that should eliminate him from being in command of an airliner.

Why is this such a big deal? The problem is one specific individual, and not the bulk of the pilot group. What needs to happen, and should happen, is a very easy fix. Pull the Captain out of CASS. If he isn't going to allow the convenience of the J/S to others, then he shouldn't be able to benefit from it himself.

I've flown with multiple American jump seaters. All of whom have been classy and exhibited gentlemanly conduct. I've also noted the same from every Captain I've flown with, in regard to the jump seaters. Go on the offense against the individual for the decision, not the group.

Perhaps if folks felt the actions of those they put into leadership roles might jeopardize their Jumpseat they would hold those same so-called leaders more accountable.

Check common denominator.
