Thanks for the kind words....
You will forgive the veracity of my posts....but I take jumpseating very, VERY seriously. (And I commute online) When it gets mentioned like it has on this thread, I get very PO'ed, very fast. When an pilot presents themselves for a ride on my airplane, I am completely color blind as to who they work for. They are trying to make a living just like I am and it isn't so easy as it used to be. It is the one sacred ground IMO that we all or at least most of us share. I thoroughly enjoy sharing a cockpit with another airline pilot because when you listen to the stories and experiences of another, you gain perspective that you wouldn't ordinarily have. That isn't a bad thing.
IMO, the union of preference (ALPA) had better get its house in order....My fear for the rest of us is not so much VA or Skybus, but the threat of mergers, acquisitions, and the seniority integration or lack thereof. Nothing will kill your career quicker. There will always be LCC's out there and there will always be someone trying to build a better mousetrap.

Your line of thinking is wrong sir, and sad. It is Doug who spends his every waking minute thinking of ways to fugg you, not the pilots of other carriers (some who used to work at yours). Wake up!
I agree with the point made that simply not letting them get reciprocal JS is a better strategy than individual JS wars, and I will work to that end. If we can do it the national level so much the better.
