I do not know of any Inspector that "goes on vacation" using the jumpseat. It can be grounds for termination. If you have a problem, call their supervisor/office/region.
That sounds nice, but I would feel like that would paint a large red target on my back.
No, the culture amongst the inspectors must change, or they'll keep on doing it. How would a line pilot prove that the inspector wasn't "going to work" anyway?
On topic, if the FAMs get to ride in the cockpit, they'll just go ahead of everybody in priority, except a ACI or something.
You guys saying "deny, deny" talk big, but if the rules are amended to allow FAMs up front, you'll end up on the carpet if you deny, just like you would by denying a Fed. Sorry.
FWIW I don't believe FAMs should have cockpit access to ride.
