Curious as what constitutes a bad jumpseat experience vs good. Thx

Ditto. Every time, all over the country. Great to JS'ers.

If you were a UAX pilot flying a "furlough jet", then you were lower than garbage to them, even though said regional kid amateur pilot didn't hold the gun to their head and made them sign the contract that gave away scope.

My personal favorite was getting threatened my a mainline United pilot in the middle of the F Concourse as he tried to snake me out of my rightful jumpseat.

You mean the UAX RAH ERJ-170 dudes that would show up asking for the UAL jumpseat with the "Guppy Killer" bag stickers?

I have never been treated better when JSing international and domestic, than on UAL, by agents, FAs, and flight deck crew. As far as my airline AA, not so good.

If I have a problem junpseating it's never the pilots. It's the online listing mechanism or the gate agents lack of ability or error that prevents me from getting it in the first place. Very rare now, but it was a problem when AA first started the myIDtravel for pilot listing.

Nope. I only 50-seaters and was doing everything I could to get the hell out. Guilty for flying an RJ, though.

It's always the gate agents that have made my JS experiences miserable. My last one wouldn't even list me to JS on my own airline! I've always had awesome crew.

Other than being super cramped, the only place I ever am treated consistently like a fellow person is in a regional jumpseat.
