Right as rain, fman! Let's all remember that jumpseats are
UNION negotiated benefits. For years, DAL pilots did not have access to their own cockpit jumpseat. They had to give up something in their contract to get it for themselves and by extension, for us.
Why anyone would give a non-union pilot a cockpit jumpseat ride is beyond me. CASS access is a different thing. That privilege is granted Company to Company. But there's no way any non-Union or scab pilot will sit on my flight deck.
B6 guys like to point out that Legacy salaries are approaching their's. However, they convieniently forget that it was them going to work at those rates 6 years ago that illustrated to Legacy managers exactly what pilots would work for.
