"Fellow CLT Pilots,

We want to make you aware of an incident that occurred a few days ago regarding one of our CLT Captains denying jumpseat requests from three different American Airlines pilots. When he was contacted by your Reps to inquire about the incident he hung up the phone. When the Jumpseat Committee Vice Chair reminded him that many of our pilots use the jumpseat to commute to work his reply was that they should move to their domicile as he did. He then hung up the phone. This Captain's immature actions has put our jumpseat privileges with American Airlines in jeopardy. In addition, we are trying to have our Jumpseat policy implemented with the New American and this does not help our efforts.

We knew going into this merger that there would be disagreements regarding seniority. There is a process to handle this and it will work out in the end. There are three places that we should never let politics interfere: Safety, Training and the Jumpseat! Luckily, our Jumpseat Committee has a good relationship with the APA Jumpseat Committee and has conveyed that this rouge pilot does not reflect our feelings.

If you see an American Pilot please take the time to introduce yourself and apologize on behalf of the US Airways pilots for this senseless selfish display of power and let them know they are welcome on our flight decks."

This captain is an idiot.
He evidently has real personal issues.
Not only with AA pilots but US Air pilots and I would bet many other groups of people.
Apologies to AA and anyone else who tries to ride this guy's jumpseat.
