Guys and Gals.
Today, for the second time in the recent pass we were confronted with the dillemma of refusing a jumpseat for an EJA or FO pilot.
Please understand, even in the past, giving you guys a ride was against company policy, but many of us would give you a ride and take a chance. Then, the cosequences were minor (best of my knowledge).
This is the post 9/11 aviation era. One of the loudest messages from our management is that any violation of the jumpseat rule and the CREW will be fired and the ENTIRE PILOT GROUP will lose jumpseat priviledges, not to mention the "off line" pilots.
I am not apologizing, but am sorry for this situation. Please understand and don't put the CA and the crew in a very uncomfortable situation and PLEASE don't get PO'd when (not if) the answer is no!
Thanks for your understanding.
