OK... after reading this, I came to a conclusion you are just a troll, and frankly, I doubt you are anything more than some kid that's fresh out of ATP or Riddle.
You were saying how you were excluding GoJet pilots from your jumpseat, and I was telling you that you were way off base denying jumpseats in violation of your airline's reciprocal agreements with GoJet or whoever. I simply told you to be mindful of your own pilots who might depend on GoJet or some other carrier to get to/from work... Then you got all pissy...
But what the hell... I'll address your little rant and then I'm done paying attention to you.
Freight Dog-
You sure are an entertaining toolbag!
First, you start off stating that I need mental help for not letting idiots and rude people ride my jumpseat.
No, RTFP. I told you that if you were denying pilots from another airline such as GoJet simply because of personal vendetta and claim that they anger you to the point that you are unsafe to fly, you will most likely get mental evaluation by your company. Clearly you haven't been around long enough to know what works and what doesn't.
Then you start going on about how (as a commuter) you are always nice to those you choose to jumpseat on-good idea. A bit hypocritical of you, I think....
Uh... no. But then again, I know the protocol, and I've been using it for years. I also treat others the way I'd like to be treated when I jumpseat. For example, when I'm working the flight, I'd always try and ask gate agents or lead FA's to put a jumpseater in first class if there's a seat available even if that jumpseater works for an airline with only economy class seats. Normally, they wouldn't do that without a little nudging... but it was in our contract that we can put ACM's anywhere, so I'd take it upon myself as a commuter to take care of them. Kindness pays...
Then the really nice part..... You claim that I MUST let anyone jumpseat from any airline we have a jumpseat agreement with.... Sorry, you are incorrect, sir. You will find out how incorrect you are if you come preaching that crap on my plane!
Once again, wrong... I'm telling you that unless the jumpseater violates the protocol outlined in your FOM, denying him simply based on their airline affiliation as your first post dictated, you are doing a huge disservice to your own pilot group.
I think we have a basic disagreement as to who actually owns the jumpseat.....
-My contention is that the jumpseat is mine, and I further contend that the FAA regs agree with me. I can exclude anyone at any time.
A captain plays a part, and has the authority to exclude people
IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY. I sure hope that captains don't use that authority for their own personal vendetta against another airline which was the whole point of me responding to you in the first place. If you abuse that authority, watch how fast you'll get talked to. But hey, whatever... it's your jumpseat, right?
-I propose an experiment to prove one of us right: The next time you commute, just take a written copy of the jumpseat agreement, show it to the Captain and demand YOUR seat because it is YOUR RIGHT to occupy it. Choose any airline or airlines you wish.
I contend that you will succeed in getting on 0% of the jumpseats you request. You may find that I am not the only Captain to see it this way. If I am incorrect, your experiment will prove me wrong.
-Go ahead, give it a shot, you will soon understand who the jumpseat belongs to!
This paragraph above just shows your ignorance, and normally wouldn't dignify a response because it is utterly ridiculous.
-While you are at it, just go and make your boss another sandwich, and make sure the gear somehow finds its proper position for takeoff and landing-Big Guy! Let the adults handle the heavy work.....
Um, isn't that what flight attendants are for? Oh, and don't worry about the landing gear - it will definitely find itself in the proper place... I'll even let you do all the heavy work... It's just sad that all that heavy work you do doesn't pay nearly as much as my gear puller paycheck.
