FDX TA jumpseat changes?
In section 26 (General) one of the changes in your TA is;
- Ability to bump offline jumpseaters up to 1 hour prior to showtime (PBB)
What does PBB stand for?
We (ups) have absolute awful jumpseating rules, keep getting bumped left and right and we always appreciate riding on your flights. Purple is famous for the "guaranteed" jumpseat rule (within 24 hours, with some caveats of course).
The TA change would make your rules more like ours and I was wondering what precipitated the change?
Is it your company pushing for this or your line pilots not being able to get to work?
Either one would be understandable and it's your business of course. From an offline pilot's perspective it'd be a negative change but again, you guys are always great to us and we appreciate the ride each time we fly on purple!
