FreedomAList said:True. However, jumpseat is a COMPANY ASSET, not Captains personal fiefdom. No one is questioning he has the right to deny anyone. But if asked BY HIS EMPLOYER AND OWNER OF THE JUMPSEAT, he better have a reason besides "I hate those guys."
That jumpseat is mine when I sign for that aircraft. PERIOD. Not the companies.
The only people that I would give an explanation for not letting in the jumpseat, only if inquired about, would be the FAA or a company dispatcher doing their ride along.
If I don't feel comfortable or feel uneasy with a non required crew member in my cockpit, why would my company, the FAA or ANYONE require me to do something that is distracting me from doing my job safely.
Deviate from the norm....... not excepting a jumpseater?
Fuel flow, what did you just read up on your FARs?
Don't get your panties in too big of a wad!
