The other morning I was requesting a Jumpseat out of Durango, CO (DRO). Fully-loaded flight on EMB-145. Weather was crap everywhere. I had to spend the night in the airport due to cancellations and I was bumped off a previous Jumpseat.

You guys stepped up and helped me get home after being separated from my family the day before. Your captain worked with the dispatcher to find a better alternate that would allow me to ride.

I am truly grateful for him helping to make this happen. I’m sure there are some of you on here who have been in the same position. It’s a tight spot but going the extra mile for one another is what makes this profession so great.

I hope I can extend a Jumpseat to one of you soon. Thank you again for your professionalism and your attention to a desperate jumpseater.
