UAL wants to change jumpseating to ID90

[Bringupthebird]

I would think there is a liability issue for a revenue pilot being charged for occupying a jumpseat.

Your "facts" are anything but. The issue last summer was resolved by a member of the CJC ALPA organizing committee, and the current CJC MEC Chairman, suggesting on an ALPA conference call the solution that was ultimately used. Your "hardball" tactics were producing the opposite results. The UAL pilots were gearing up for all-out jumpseat war with the UAX carriers that were issuing threats against them. They weren't going to cave to your barbarian tactics. It was only making them more resolute. It took some diplomacy and political acumen from a dedicated ALPA volunteer at CJC to resolve the issue without going to battle.

Hmmm, were you on that call? I was, and can tell you that you are flat out wrong. The solution came from the hard work, and combined effort of ALL the Jumpseat Committees, UAL, MAG, SkyW, RAH, GoJet (Trans States JSC was non participatory), and Colgan.

As to SAPA getting it wrong.....Well then UAL got it wrong as well as that is where the info came from.

Get your facts straight.
