I agree. Making the statement that one will deny a JS'er because they feel the JS'er is PERSONALLY responsible for their plight is the act of a completely ignorant, infantile, and unprofessional individual. But keep in mind, it's just interwebz/message board posting. Or "internet tough guy" talk.
Also keep this in mind, I can't tell you how many times during the BK's I'd hear or read a mainline pilot say how their going to deny regional pilots the jumpseat, that'll teach em!!!!!! You know, because they're "taking their jobs". Or to a lesser degree, using the jumpseat as lecture pulpit to and tell the regional pilot how they are personally responsible for the plight of the mainline pilot's disposition. Been there, done that, lot's of times. Sitting on the JS, listening to the CA or FO drone on and on about how the scope they gave away is now screwing them and I'm personally responsible.
You know, the act of a completely ignorant, infantile, and unprofessional individual. Surprisingly, it's NOT just a trait of one segment of this career.

I'm GLAD you fall into that category of being professional. But there's more than a few who aren't. If you've ever done JS committee work you'll know what I mean. And YES, it goes both ways.
Just curious, you bid off the 76 or did you get displaced off?
