Is it pretty common to have a UA mainline jumpseater going from one major hub to the other?
I was trying to JS a few weeks back and the gate agent said there was another UA mainline pilot in the JS...but it was a a320 with two jumpseats...she refused to believe there were two jumpseats and wouldn't help me. How can I avoid this tomorrow?
Sorry this happened to you. Please write this up and submit it to your JS committee, I'll also PM you my email address and I will pass it on to our JS committee. Be sure to provide the date, flight number, and city pair.
Should this happen again.....please ask to speak with the Captain. If that doesn't work, try to seek out the other JS'er to enlist their help.
