Hi, Andy -
Who knows? Might be some sort of deep competition between your two companies. You could check with your union jumpseat representative, sometimes they get the dirt before everyone else. Just remember to keep paying that good jumpseat karma forward. I commuted to work for 18 years. Glad that's over, but I would still shut down an engine and reconnect the jetbridge to get a fellow pilot aboard. A lot of people went to a lot of trouble to get our industry jump seat privileges. D.
