They smacked our class around a bit.

First we hard that we could jumpseat right away (so long as we were in CASS).

Then the director of training came in and assured us that we couldn't jumpseat until after our checkride....

ok, that'd fine.

But then after our checkrides, an intern said the chief pilot told him that we can't jumpseat until after IOE.

Then we had line check airmen telling us that was a crock of doo doo.

MIND GAMES!
