I seriously doubt that will happen, as the 1224 jumpseaters I’ve had in the past have been professional and courteous.
1 ½ years ago ATI had to restrict all 1224 pilots from ATI jumpseats due to some confrontations, but the restriction was lifted after 2 months.
ATI pilots are the ones causing friction? Who’s doing all the public bashing against ATI and namecalling on this site? Who tried to force 1224 down everyone’s throat and even tried to run ATI out of business? There’s been confrontations started by ABX pilots in hotel lobbies and on the shuttles. Who’s harassing ATI first officers at the hub when they’re trying to print paperwork?
Stop generalizing ATI pilots. This is not a great contract. The contract is lacking but not everybody voted in favor. And not everybody crossed that picket line. ATI is being labeled a scab airline because of the actions of not even 2% of the pilots?
