Thats was all fine and dandy until she saw me standing at the gate and asked me if I listed. I said yes, I'm trying to go to work. I'm in uniform, she's not and she's also dragging two rollaboards. She looks at me and says "sorry I have an engagement party to go to" and then cheerfully informs me of the other flights that day that really don't get me to my sign in time. I couldn't believe it, absolutely incredible. What comes around goes around.
So let me get this straight....

-There were no other seats except for the one jumpseat?
-There were two pilots for the Skywest jumpseat, you, and the other SkyWest pilot?
-You actually believe that your choice of residence should actually give you some sort of implicit priority for the SkyWest jumpseat over another SkyWest pilot?

Hopefully you can clear this up.
