What is my union doing about this?
Pilots should have priority for jumpseats over maintenance, or else why am I paying my 2%?
Their staging = our staging. They do have their schedule well in advance, so guys with VTOs will be sol. Previous, if there were only 2 seats in the back, and 2 pilots had it booked, if MX booked the js, pilots automatically get moved forward.
