I have JS'ed on DL A LOT and have had overwhelmingly positive experiences. The only bad experience (if one could term it that) was once when I was talking with a DL captain in the gate area about getting the JS to work. He asked me if I was a part of the group of pilots that was suing Delta. If I was, I could go find another way to work. I replied that I wasn't aware of any pilot group that was suing Delta, and this reply made me an acceptable jumpseater to him. Of course I didn't mention that I believed that he was referring to the RJDC, of which I was a party to. The RJDC was suing ALPA.
Now that I have opened up the RJDC can o' worms I would add that one purpose of the suit was to discourage jets-for-jobs at Delta, for which it was successful. It may have also (probably) blocked most Comair applicants from being hired at Delta.
