I hate these scum just as much as most. I would prefer they not be in the jumpseat but if they are, they're going to get an earfull. Likewise I'll NEVER ask for a ride from them. If they're feelings are hurt, BFD. I have a lot of friends who were put on the street in 2006 because of growth that should have been on their seniority list and refused to lower themselves to the wages blowjet was paying.

However, you have a bunch of people in the back that bought a ticket on United, not blowjet. They in all likelyhood don't even know the difference. Please don't step on radio calls or do anything that comprimises safety for their sake. I don't care if you give them the bird. I don't care if you give them a dirty look. I don't care if you flat out tell them to F-off. I don't care if you just point at the alter-ego sticker on you bag. Don't put unknowing pax at risk.
