I love guys who have more bark than bite........
Go ahead and start a jumpseat war. What goes around will certainly come around. Many a dork who denies a jumpseat will end up begging for one some day. If I were you I would hope that the pilot you humiliate will have a short memory.
All this bluster about Go Jets......what management is doing is perfectly legal and it certainly is the same playbook used by other airline managements. This isn't the first time, and it won't be the last. The only difference is the names and the players.
Fact. In the past few years, the regionals have quadrupled in size. The size of the aircraft they fly has doubled and even tripled in some cases. Not one tear was shed by these pilots over the degradation of the careers of others. Now that the chicken has come home to roost, it isn't pretty, is it? You weep for yourself but don't realize that you are a pot calling the kettle black. Look for this to continue in the future as the mainline MEC's decide that it is in their best interests to keep their flying, even if it means flying it for less to keep it out our YOUR hands. Maybe then you can kick one of them off the jumpseat as they take more of the flying that you think you are entitled to.
Again, all under the watchful eye of ALPA and DW.....the madness continues.
