Well hopefully they at least take the US policy of not getting bumped out of the Jumpseat due to a weight restriction.

Can we get confirmation before we all lose our lunches? Someone email the js people and ask them.

I think we need to keep our eye on the ball. Both are great to have. One is going to matter 95% of the time.

Ok. Here is how it will go down. The AA system will prevail even though the USAir system is obviously better for employees. The company will soon after allow the pilots to negotiate a better system (the old USAir system) and the pilots will have to give up something in return. That's the Sand Castle way.

That is the way things go. I was told by a rep though that the company likes US JS policy. It insures pilots are in position for trips. The current system allows pilots to bank on getting to work. This pays off for both labor and mgt.

That's fine for getting to work, but I'm just as concerned (probably more so) about getting home.

Yes, I have no doubt management thinks the USAir jumpseat reservation system is better for everyone, and that is why we will probably end up with it again, but there is something management loves better... taking advantage of the opportunity to take away something good from pilots and then make them pay to get it back.

I don't even know if this is a company or FAA/TSA thing. You do realize that a cabin jump is within the immediate reach of the liquor kit, right? Can't be good!
