We're the only airline (starting to hear this a lot now huh guys?) that forces its DHing pilots to ride in the jumpseat if told to do so. Only on our planes though.
The company will try and con the new guys into riding in Alaska or Skywest's jumpseat and those guys never deny us because they're such team players.
