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 with a GoJet ID. I don't believe in that internet toughguy stuff, and by God if I'm going to share a cockpit with a GoJet pilot they had better have a good explanation for their actions, because I'm damn sure going to ask those questions to their faces.
If you have a beef with that behavior, I might suggest manning up and saying something to me about it, or if you're into that internet toughguy/passive-aggressive stuff, contact Pro Standards...don't go running to the CP like a little girl.
Boiler-
Negative, I fly for a Part 91 operation in TX, so I don't have jumpseat privlages.
As a F/O, I realize the the person sitting next to me is in charge, and if he allows someone to ride our jumpseat, then I will treat that person with the same amount of respect that he (the capt.) does. If the captain is treating the person poorly, then I will simply keep my mouth shut, and perform my duties. I don't engauge in ****ing matches in the cockpit. THAT would be unprofessional.
I was merely pointing out you proving yourself to all readers that you are a hardass, and would make the jumpseater sweat. Not something to brag about in my book, but more power to you.
In regards to your last comment:

I think I made it clear that I thought that kind of behavior was stupid. If you consider it beef, then I guess it is. I did say something about it, and in fact, my words are what sparked another "clout-ish" response from you.
I don't do internet tough guy stuff, I am merely telling you what I think of your post. I have no interest in fighting you, or going back in forth with you for that matter. Good evening.
