when did this get to be ALL ABOUT you?? since when DID THE CAL GUYS TAKE YOUR PASSES?? Man? This Be UNITED!! XJT is part of Skywest as I recall or am I missing something?? Weren't you just BOUGHT?? Why then do you believe United owes you anything?? Even the Pilots can't dictate pass benefits. That's a COMPANY derivied benefit that the COMPANY changes as they see FIT. Last I saw? You aren't COMPANY any more!!
The jumpseat rules are company a well with the capt's discretion. You place much in BLAME and know very little in FACT. Unless somebody says I'm wrong and shows me up as such I think you're wrongly casting blame.
Now as far as the 70 seaters go?? XJT never HAD 70 seaters so again you have no horse in this race. And tell me What's Wrong with the pilots trying to protect what they have?? Aren't YOU a pilot?? They're not doing it TO you! they're doing it FOR you as I can see it unless again I'm highly mistaken and one of these kind souls will correct me..
You just dont have a clue where I was coming from...
EWRflyr is correct. CAL MEC pushed CAL(NOT YO-nited) to make it more difficult for us to commute, then they have the nerve to ask us to picket with them.. My problem is with that, The average line pilot at Cal has no idea that ever happened and I'm sure they disagree with how things were handled. Much less some United MX controller who probably has never had to use the j/s EVER. So clue yourself in before adding your measly 2 cents...
