So the Captain at UPS does not have control of his jumpseat. At this time we are not in Contract Talks- So why is this still written. And why does the FAA still support this language? Read the FAR's. The FAA Counsel has totally disregarded the Reg. And we will win this in the future.
Weenie-
Really?
I've denied jumpseats since then. No one said anything about it. I haven't, and won't ever give up MY authority. The FAA was absolutely correct in determining that the jumpseat issue was labor related. The regs haven't changed. I still have my authority. I just know when to use it.
