Dixie Boys,
Time to call your status rep and/or NC and tell them you want to get unlimited jumpseat.
Why?
Becuase when you swallow that +/-30% paycut your company and/or personal productivity is going to have to go up, to maintian that big fat jet set lifestyle. (which is ok, we all want it too).
But in order to do that and still make it to lil' Timmy's ballgame and Tammy's dance recital you will have to ultilize ASA/CMR/IA/jB's unlimited jumpeat to get that extra round trip in to keep that pay up....
Now, I am all for unlimited jumpseats cause if I ever have to evac, I got more trained professionals than the corporate board room.
But quid pro quo is the way to go.
The problem is the gate agents and FAs are going to be pissing in your grits if they see offline pilots riding for free and they still have to pay even $5 dixie dollars to ride on their own jet...
Use UAL and Usair as examples.....
Good luck, we're all watching, hoping and counting on you....
