AA pilots, any pilot is a friend. That's not the issue. I think the issue is that people take this too personally. It's a business agreement that lacks reciprocity. I will not enjoy denying a AA pilot the jumpseat should the situation arise, but I will follow the guidelines set forth by the union. My union is/has been working for my benefit. I have spent the night in O'Hare after having been denied the jumpseat by AA. I did not take it personal, that's their policy. The previous agreement of unlimited jumpseats for AA
did not give fruition of equal benefits. It's time for equality. Besides the golden rule goes both ways, this is meant to management not the pilot group of AA. Please don't confuse where this is being directed to.
