Our XJ union did in fact state today that we will have the same agreement that AA has with us, something like only one offline jumpseater. To be honest, I am baffled as to why we would do this. The union stated clearly that AA pilots have been fighting management about this rule, so I dont know why we need to feel like its our job to squeeze AA management by denying AA guys a ride to work
I'm not a captain, but I would strongly suggest to mine that we take any and all jumpseaters. Nobody wins when we punish people for something that they didn't do.
My apologies to the AA guys...
