You guys are completely delusional if you think your scheme will work.

Bingo.......

I think Cujo and Magnus need to Thunderdome to settle once and for all who's right. The rest of us have moved on. In my jump seat all will be welcome and it will be first come first served.

Nawwww, I'm just having fun debating at this point. Doesn't effect me. I travel positive space.

He's entitled to his opinion, even as misguided as it is. LOL

Feel free to explain the delay to your CP that you were fighting over the AA gate agent following AA boarding priority on an AA flight.

Hey Cujo, it’s the Captains Jumpseat, it doesn’t belong to anyone else. This is why I’m soooooo grateful you are no longer with any JS committee. You can’t even except that simple concept.
