I’m taking the seat in the back and the AA pilot gets the jumpseat regardless of whether or not those 976 FAs have a higher boarding priority than the AA pilot. That’s what we were taught to do.
Were you also taught that commuting is a choice and that it sucks? Or that jumpseating on other airlines is a privilege, not a right?
Guys are not intentionally going out of their way to screw you or whatever you think AA pilots are doing, but if the only seat left is a middle seat in row 36, yeah I think most guys are taking the jump and next in line non-rev can have it. Just the way the game works man, idk what to tell you.
