Jumpseat
I am a retired United pilot. I have not ever needed to ride the jumpseat since I have been at Netjets, but I would like to apologize for the Netjets Captain who was so insensitive. I remember when I was a new hire at United and got bumped off the jump seat because some Captain did not want to pay the $9.00 to buy a standby ticket. I was forced to take a later flight and sweat out the fact that if I did not get to work I could be fired. I sympathize with you. Where are people's manners.
