Well he wanted to get in the jumpseat to "educate" the lowlife regional guy.
Exactly why there will not be a UAL in my actual jumpseat. At this point you have become a distraction from me doing my job instead of a possible additional crew member who will help me out if the stuff hits the fan, or I miss a radio call.
Wrong. In this hypothetical situation the United pilot didn’t ask for a jumpseat with seats available in the back. He was told no by the captain and then United bumped a paying passenger or possibly a non rev employee of the operating regional to get the United pilot to base.
As far as your decision to take or deny, that is all on you.
