As CrowneVic mentioned, that guy did the right thing.
Don't wear jeans if you think there's the remotest possibility you may need to actually sit in a jumpseat. It's not Rocket Science.
(the more this inevitableneb posts in this thread, the more I think he may have been the person the OP was talking about)
This whole thing just seems a bit overblown to me. Actually making the guy change pants seems like a power Trip to me, he could have just said 'hey, for next time, jeans aren't really kosher'.
But, your right, those are the rules. If offense was taken at this or any other snarky comments I've made, I apologise.
I just wish we could all be decent to each other instead of constantly sizing each other up and deciding we're better than them because our seniority is higher or our airline is better, or our airframe is bigger.
I'm not the person this post is talking about, but I have made proceedural errors while jumpseating, and I was usually met with extreme curtesy and respect by the FD crew, which I deeply appreciated. I was not blasted on a forum for pages and pages. This isn't something that belongs here at all, it should be limited to private conversations or in the most extreme circumstances the Jumpseat committee.
