Um, it was a letter on a company website. I would call that internal. Once the wagons are circled, there will be another letter that is public signed by all the respective carriers saying basically the same thing. At least that's how it went down last time UAL tried to dictate other carriers jumpseat policies. Arik is absolutely doing the right thing here. I don't mind at all being kept abreast of what's happening in regards to the Jumpseat. If you think he put that out as the first step, you are nuts. Last time this happened the UAL jumpseat coordinator wasn't even a commuter. This will all blow over, and the people who commute will get it straightened out. The banty roosters of APC will find something else to squawk about. You and Peepz have nothing to fear. Mainline will still come begging to hire you.
