Don,
the way I read it, the answer is yes. We (ASA) now have to pay to ride on Delta, DCI and Skywest. The same is true for you. What really burns my *** is the way I read it, Delta employees incur no fee on anything.
ASA and Delta have unlimited jumpseat so if there is a seat on my 700, its all yours.
That goes for any Skywest pilot, I may be less than pleased about the anti union crowd, but no one should play politics with the jumpseat. Lets stick together on this one!
Skywest pilots and ASA pilots need to come together on this and help each other out.
Stick
