I tried reading them twice, but your spelling and grammar are so poor, its impossible to understand what you're trying to say.

The jumpseat coordinator doesn't control the jumpseat...the CAPTAIN does. The job of the jumpseat coordinator is to maximize the jumpseat opportunities for the individual MEC pilot group. He doesn't tell me who I can allow the privilege of jumpseating. As far as I'm concerned, Union pilots shouldn't even be asking B6, VX or gojets "pilots" for jumpseats.
Why? If you ask them for the favor, then you are morally obligated to reciprocate. I don't ask them for anything and I don't give them anything.
If they ask me for a jumpseat, my response is "Jumpseating is a privilege we acquired in our Union contract. I don't extend Union privileges to non-Union pilots." I usually don't add, "so pound sand" unless they get argumentative.
