Thanks for all who replied. I suppose when in doubt, I'll talk to the CA.
Well, since I already bit at this I will have one more go at it.
I was honestly trying to answer your questions as I think everyone else was. This web site is worthless if we are not helping each other. Life in this business is tough enough without having to deal with tools on the interweb.
But I do not understand what is still unclear about any of this or how you could have been in this line of work for very long and be so confused? I am not trying to beat you up, but I was starting to feel like I had inadvertently fallen into a Burmese Tiger Trap....
I jump-seat for personal trips, but my company buys my ticket to work. We welcome jump-seaters anytime (747 is a nice ride). I appreciate all of the rides that I have been given and am grateful I don't have to jump-seat to work.
