Yeah thats it, slap me...and see just who ends up getting pulled off the trip to do a carpet dance in front of the CP.

There is nothing unprofessional for making someone explain their actions while on the jumpseat, after all, they are a captive audience. Many RJ pilots have gotten the third degree from mainline crews in the past and this is no different; in fact, its much more pertinent. In exchange for the free ride the jumpseater can answer the questions or they can sulk and not talk - the choice is theirs. As the FO I could always refuse to fly stating that the presence of that jumpseater makes me uncomfortable and that they would compromise CRM and safety of flight...but I wouldn't do that because that is unprofessional.

I have a 'friend' at GoJet, who started employment after two rounds of furloughs at TSA. I've called him a replacement worker to his face, and I would have no problem doing the same to anyone else.
