I never said that. If that’s all you took away from my posts, then I guess I’m wasting my time. All I said in a nutshell was that applying some of the jumpseat policies and deviation rules unique to Fedex to off-line jumpseating is a mistake. And I was responding to an individual, not passing judgment on a large portion of our pilot group.



Nothing's wrong with it but it’s pretty clear what you meant. You were the first and only person to mention anything about civilian vs. military along with a complete quote from my previous post. You want to backpedal now about what you meant or assumed fine. This is getting stupid anyway.

Good luck with the commute.

Adler,

Maybe you need to spend more than 22 yrs in the service in order to get any credit.....

Thanks, no problems so far. You too.

Silly me I assumed Alpa was communicating with me when they published their policy/guideline/code/suggestions/whims. If they have further guidance they have my E Mail/Cell. I find nuance gets communicated better through E Mail don't you?

As I recal the new hire jumpseat brief goes: Be polite, humble, clean, have all your documents, and never ever jumpseat on a flight where you already have a ticket.

You should make the call.

What's the matter, scared?

I may not be able to sleep tonight.

Reviving this thread for a slightly different scenario. I had a Sunday afternoon 2 leg deadhead today. I don't have to be in position until tomorrow at 1300 CDT. I get to the airport and my flight is cancelled. Every remaining flight this evening on all 3 airlines to my final destination (all 2 leggers) are sold out. I call Corp Travel and they book me in the morning to my destination with a couple hours to spare and one more back up at final check in time. Would it have been ok to j/s on a flight to one of the hub airports to catch a flight tonight to my destination (which I would have paid for)? This would reduce the pucker factor and give me more options. (One more earlier flight in the a.m. from the hub cities) The problem was getting out of my home city not the connecting flights.

might surprise RT,
but, IMO, you having given your best shot at buying a seat I don't think anyone would have any heartburn with your riding in the cockpit.

Ideal option would be to get the ok to jumpseat the first leg and have corporate travel buy a ticket for the second.

Of course it's OK; I would. Just don't hold a ticket on the flight that you're jumping on.

The flight that you were ticketed on cancelled? Then, why didn't the airline that cancelled your flight rebook you? Isn't that their responsibility? Just curious.

Agree. It's that simple.
