Are any of you going to go off the "A List", and deny the Jumpseat to many who are check airman? No?
Most of the time, the new hire doesn't know better anyways. Most of them, especially those with no 121 experience, don't know how a union works or that the company can't just give them things outside the CBA. I'd bet 100% of them don't the ins and outs of the contract when they are issued the iPad in the first place. So, when they are on the jumpseat, give them a little union education and tell them why its wrong, then file a grievance. In the end, it is the company that is wrong. Everyone should be getting their own iPad as paid by the company.
