This is all conjecture at this time as our Union is actively involved in stopping this flying from occurring.
I'd be happy to discuss it with you in the terminal, but unfortunately you wouldn't be riding on. the aircraft.
What if they're attempting to leave IAH for home, to me that's far more egregious, and you denying that jumpseat only prevents him from getting home, it doesn't cancel a flight, or even delay one. All it does is delay a pilots ability to be where he'd rather be. If anything if he can't get home, he's more likely to go pick up a JRM trip created because someone else can't get there.
Also you completely failed to answer the question.... What do you expect any of us (read skywest RJ pilots) to do about it?
