I just hope that pilots will still get to list as a jumpseat to get to work even with seats open in the back and not have to pay this ridiculous sum of money. I'm hoping UA won't come up with some slick way to force guys jumpseating to still pay. If I worked 4 4 day trips a month back and forth I would pay almost 2000 dollars a year just to commute. Even for CA's, that's a lot of money. I don't see how UA went from 50-100 dollars a year to this scale. I wouldn't deny any UA pilots the jumpseat over this. As it has been said, they're not coming up with the policies. But any UA jumpseat I'm on or any UA pilot that jumpseats on me will definitely hear from me about this. Just maybe some of them will do something about it. But probably not.
