You can OK whatever you want with your CP, your solution to the problem WILL NOT work even if your CP is "on board". Not all CP's are smart.
Yup,
Via MM and followed all protocols, was told the same "sorry", WhyTF do you think I developed my position? I was told to my face "sorry" by the Captain of the flight. DALPA doesn't care, it doesn't affect them. As long as the jumpseat, riding in the cabin is my discretion, my position is there will be no Captain authorized cabin jumpseating on my plane, they are welcome to buy a pass or anything that doesn't involve Jumpseat Authorization for the cabin. Obviously this is for DALPA pilots eveyone else will have heaven and earth moved to get them on.
