I've ridden on UAL a lot and they've always been great to me. Even when I worked for Mesa, they were always happy to help me get home.

All the UAL Captains I've ever dealt with for the jumpseat not only treated me great, but asked the F/A to move me to 1st class if it was available. Perhaps the common denominator isn't UAL...

Probably the 2% rule. My best jumpseat experiences have been on United and Southwest. My worst experiences were on Southwest and United.

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.

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.
