Makes it so satisfying giving the jumpseat to guys who hate me but put on the nice face when they have to commute.
FWIW, essentially nobody flying RJs wants to do so. But the high and mighty sold that flying out a couple decades ago, wanting nothing to do with small jets in exchange for larger paychecks. Look at the damage it has done to the industry.
I strongly support those who fight further scope erosion and who fight to bring the flying back in-house. But I'm sick to death of being blamed for the problems in the industry by pompous folks whose seats are the result of good timing and good connections and nothing else.
Sorry you must have me confused with someone as I don't ride on your jumpseat. How would you know how I am to fly with because I have an issue with rj's. I am thrilled with how my alpa dues are spent also, trust me many of us here are very tired of our representation. I assume your seat is due to good timing and good connections. I love the assumptions you guys make.
I would love to have a jumpseat war, would not bother me one bit.
Funny thing on this site is when you have a difference opinion on things you always get that you must be fun to fly with nonsense, I have a great time when I fly seems like my crew does also, just don't support the rj's at all, if you don't like it tough.
