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.
