This is the reason so many offline guys including myself love to jumpseat on UAL metal. Your pilot group gets it. For the most part the FA's at UAL have been fantastic as well. Just the other month the purser on LAX-SYD was at the gate communicating with the agent to try and get as many of us non revs on as possible due to weight restrictions. This is one of many examples UAL crews have gone out of their way to help get a jumpseater/non-rev on. It will be a sad day in the jumpseat world if the CAL mentality takes over.
