Did you get that from your cubical neighbor?
I'm impressed that the Finance Department signed off on the jumpseat policy -- we know how important their opinion is.

Yeah, that's what I thought you said. That, ladies and gentlemen, is the threat The Company would like you as a PIC to perceive so they can impose their new policy on you.

If I didn't know better, I might take "Glen the mechanic" for a company shill planted on APC to stir up trouble. Oh, wait, I don't know any better.
