Jumpseat beware Attn: commuters
#21
I’m a new hire and I honestly don’t fully understand what this means. I’m a commuter; so if I book my commute to get to work and someone senior to me wants to travel D2 for a vacation, they can bump me due to seniority alone?
Again I’m just trying to fully grasp what this means... thanks

That’s assuming they use that original proposal. Which is really the only way a hybrid system could work. If you reverse it, it’d be pointless and just be a pure seniority system. I’ve not met a single pilot, LAA/LUS/AWA/TWA etc, that wants to change the current system.
I’m now at a base that has far more OAL commute options for me, and the threat of this hybrid system was in my decision matrix to choose this base over DFW.

When you hear someone say that jumpseat should be by seniority because they have XX years of blood, sweat and tears and thus should go first...just remind them that our seniority list is not by DOH and chances are there are folks here with more LOS. Perhaps, that if they want jumpseat by seniority, you know-for the time, they should support jumpseat by DOH. Usually quiets them, for a while.

You ever notice how some LAA guy complain about former AWA guys with less LOS being senior to them, but think nothing of the LUS east guys that are in the same boat as they are?
Of course they are arguing for seniority list, it's what favors them most.
