IB6 UB9, I understand that you're frustrated with the situation, but what do you expect the NWA JS Chairman to do? The NWA CBA specifically states that the jumpseat is at the Captain's discretion. The only exception is the previously mentioned FAA inspector. The Chairman can do nothing more than call the Captain in question and ask him to not be such a jerk in the future. He can't force him to allow JB pilots, nor should he. The jumpseat is one of the few areas where Captain's authority is still recognized.
