Guys, I get it. I stated that a million times already. The part I didn't like was the way she talked to me when she did it. That's is. She didn't need to tell me a reason and she didn't need to smile when she did it. That's all there is to it.
I know it's her own metal and I know the priority. All I'm saying if you bump someone, don't be a dick about it.

BS
After reading his responses, IMHO, Beechedjet is the TOTD in this case and a contender for Tool of the Month.
Summary- BJ whines about his bump and "outs" another pilot on a public forum. We only get "his" side of the story and "his" impressions of the other pilot in what was probably a less than a minute encounter in what sounds like an awkward an stress elevated moment for both parties. His highlighting her on a public forum, especially since she is a member of a small subset of one company is pathetic and whiny. This kind of snap judgment on a persons character is generally the kind of petty crap I've seen for years out of flamboyant, rainbow flag type FA's who treat pilots or fellow co-workers like lepers for an entire 3-day because of one perceived interpersonal infraction.
Both BJ and the other pilot may have displayed non-verbal cues and the other pilot may have stuck her foot in in mouth by accident. From BJ's story, it sounded like she made the effort to explain the best she could, she had an function to attend and BJ made his judgment about the worthiness of her travel plans compared to his. He simply felt more entitled.
We all screw up, and I'm am certainly not above doing so also. We all step on our ####s and unintentionally p-iss others off, big deal. 99% of the time I find out there is other stuff going on or it's a mistake. Both sides in this case may be a little socially inept, especially with a male/female dynamic. BFD.
My suggestion is for BJ to admit he was totally 100% wrong and apologize on this thread.

I will openly appologize for bringing this to a public forum. In the heat of the moment I wrote the initial post I was at the other gate trying to list. I was a annoyed at the situation and I was looking for an outlet to vent. When I hit post it was not soon afterwards I even posted that I sounded like a horse's ass. Anything that happened afterwords is just what happens when people argue on the internet. My opinion is that this could have been handled differently on every end but I only have the option to handle myself.

It has always been my understanding that proper jumpseat etiquette is that the seat is first and foremost for getting TO work. Yes, it's an option for Non-rev but if it's a matter of me being late to meet my friends in Vegas vs someone not making their show time at work, the guy going to work gets the seat. More than once have I given up the seat to someone who is going TO work when I have had priority when non-revving. I would hope to have the favor returned.
But nobody is obligated to do that, and who's to say that somebody going to work is more important that another pilot's personal business? Where do you draw the line? Your own wedding? Brother's wedding? Best friend's wedding? Job interview? How about commuting to military reserve duty?
Don't think you have an entitlement to dictate other people's priorities, assume the published priority, and be pleasantly surprised if somebody does you a solid.
