Nah, I haven’t heard from any pilots of non union carriers being denied a jump seat for that fact. So lets say it is a fact, and you just don’t have the balls.


Wrong again Ace. I have been in aviation long before you were 30 seconds of pleasure and daddy’s little squirt.

About reports to your chief pilot…. I knew your reply would be exactly what I what it would be. You talk a mean game on this site. But son, you just don’t have the balls to face any pilot from non-union carriers about your tenets.

In the past, I have had to deny rides to people for reasons which are clearly stated in our FOM ranging from not enough room on the jet to problems with credentials being expired. I don’t hide behind my company’s FOM, gate agent, or my F/O when a fellow crew dog can’t ride on my jet. When a jump seat is denied, I have the courtesy to personally tell the individual why he/she can’t ride the jet. I don’t lie, nor do I leave the ill deed to the gate agent, or the F/O. But NEVER!!!! and I mean NEVER have I denied a jump seat for same reasons as you.

If you feel that strongly about pilots of non union airlines, you NEED to get out their and opine your views! Hide behind the mask so your identity won’t be revealed.
