Jumpseat Etiquette

[VADriver]

Thoughts on this thread.

We loosened up the dress code with the no-tie requirement. Maybe that mindset lead to looser etiquitte?(sp)

Scope badges are political statements. Politics is to be left out of the jumpseat. Mainline guys should take thier scope badges off when requesting a regional/small jet jumpseat. If not, don't be surprised if the Capt. says 'I'll hold on to your scope badge. You'll get it back when you deplane'

Security on jumpseat credentials is still too relaxed. Capts, need to be more complete. If we let a situation get by us..offline could be gone....before we get it back....

Thoughts?

RLC: "This is a nasty, rotten business"

I agree with Bob Crandell.

And VADriver.

--Just because a tie is not required doesn't mean we're riding the crew van. Professionals treat each other professionally.

--Scope. I don't know anything about it. But I hate to see professional pilots bicker with other professional pilots. See above.

--Exactly! Couldn't say it better.

Peace.
