Second, Never say never. There are many Furloughed mainline Pilots who are currently working at the regionals. You just never know. I has always been told "Be nice to the folks you pass on the way up because you never know when you might pass them again on the way down"
The water always seems to seek level out eventially. Fedex's jumpseat policy is a little different than most of the PAX side. We rarely accept walk up jumpseaters unless you can get to the Capt in the Outstation before he goes through security. In any case you and anyone else on our list are always welcome in my cockpit.
Never said legacy pilots as a whole. Just the specific guys that were ignorant of their own policy.
