I would say he was not making a wise decision if he denied 2 pilots a jumpseat from MEM-ICT but if it was a 777 from DXB-MEM with 4 crew and 4 jumpers then I would say he made the correct call. Details matter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You start chastising PIC authority you might as well write your career off.

Seriously guys? Denying j/s is what its coming to. Y'all refusing to go into AOC or riding in the crew bus? How about asking the jumpseaters to wear a mask and some gloves. You realize the airlines are no longer a viable option to get to work.

I am bringing back a full boat from HKG to MEM later this week. I will not leave a fellow pilot behind. I did however send out a email telling the JS the situation and that they would need to be quiet, clean up after themselves and be flexible where they were asked to sit by the resting crewmen. However each Captain can run their ship how they see fit.

Seems asking jumpers to wear a mask would mitigate potential risk and not screw a jumpseater...
