Then they can enjoy dealing with the CPO / pro stans after refusing a Delta pilot who meets all jumpseat requirements for no particular reason. The CPO will be especially thrilled after the company has to give the pilot international PS on a backup flight (likely saving the commuter int’l taxes).
The FOM no longer gives captains free rein to deny the jumpseat without cause, if all other requirements are satisfied.
