UAL Jumpseat Priority

[auspac]

The problem at many stations is they are operated by UAL or Air Whisky or Comair and they don't give a crap about what the SkyWest FOM says. Often times agents won't let a jumpseater down to talk to the captain. That's why on turns I will make every effort to walk up the jetbridge and let myself be seen in the gate area, and hopefully any jumpseaters will be able to approach me. I'm not going to let TSA or Go Jets or UAL mainline in my jumpseat ahead of a company pilot and my FOM backs me up on that. The hard part is often getting by the over worked gate agent who doesn't have time to deal with it.

Isnt this how it happens any ways? If not perhaps your fellow pilots should call your scheduling department ahead of time and get placed on that jumpseat. Then the gate agent would not matter? Makes sense to me! Now if its last second and then your pilot comes up as the door is closing I would have to say the hell to ya and whoevers there is there. Not going to let them wait to the last second and boot someone who got their early. But that's me.

Oh ok? How about you get your ass where you need to be ahead of time instead of screwing someone if the flight is full? Novel concept ass clown.

Does anyone else wonder why TSA and HoJet are getting priority over the other carriers, or is it just me?
