4. Why would the chief pilot have an issue? Again, if it clearly states in the contract, I couldn't find it, that we MUST accept a JS then I agree, we would be in trouble. However, without that being listed, I dont see why or how we could be in trouble for it. Again, there are many valid reasons why you wouldn't sit in the JS.
2. I didn't see where anyone said you have to be in uniform to commute. Someone did say you should be in jumpseating attire anytime you nonrev and is good advice if you want to have the jumpseat as an option to get where you're going. But you do NOT have to wear your uniform to ride the jumpseat.
4. Work here long enough and you'll figure out why we tend to think that management will interpret the contract in the way that least suits you. That said, griff changed my mind with his post. You may get some grief from the CPO (IF they knew) but I think you'd have a good leg to stand on if it had to go as far as a grievance.
