Just had a Mech on PERSONAL status on the J/S JAX-MEM bragging about going and coming from a Daytona race, Posters, pics and the whole shebang.....then boasting how he was in line for a "Mech" managerial position and was going to work on expanded J/S privileges for Mechs. The fool was so dense he couldnt see or feel the "chill" he created w/the other J/Seaters.......sheesh

Addressing it head on, some frank discussions and leadership, and use of previous federal decisions on this issue, that have been enforced here and at several other airlines would be the direction I would advocate.

There is a mechanic in DFW that rides the jumpseat 2-4 times per month, not per year.
However, that's not the reason I started the thread.
I really just wanted to know what was said at the hub turn meeting.
Nothing more, nothing less.
