No he flew the plane up from DCA they called him and he turned around to commute back. Another senior guy showed up as well and there went the two jumpseats. I knew the pilot seat was seniority as it should be but so is the FA jumpseat. I just don’t see how that is right. But I was able to get on the next flight. It’s literally the 2nd time in 7.5 years that I didn’t get on so no big deal. I just thought it was interesting. You can’t beat the book it is what it is.
