Every time I talk to a supervisor they promise to make sure they follow policy next time. Nothing changes "next time" and the process repeats itself.
I understand, and agree (although I'm not seeing it at 90%). I try to make the walk when/if I can, and I advocate the same for everybody I fly with. Having said that, we still need every pilot who is adversely affected to stand up for their contractual/policy rights, and submit JSAPs to document the issues.
If you are an offline jumpseater and you run into an issue, please contact your JS rep, or send an email to our JS rep. They need all of the ammunition they can get in order to get this situation corrected.
If it's not documented, it didn't happen.
