NWA has the largest group of Captains doing this now with Delta a close second. UAL is a bit behind now, but eventually they will move with it. Just wait till the end of the year, this effort was just started in November 2005.
Thank you for making abundantly clear how much stock I can put into what you post from now on.

I believe this to be a rumor, but sometimes the spiteful pettyness of union recruiters astonishes me. As someone here said, if anything, taking a nonunion jumpseater gives you an opportunity to exchange ideas. Also, if you are nonunion [or even just "pro-business" like me

This has been brewing for a while now, but it will be happening probably in 2007. Expect Delta to be the first one to implement this followed by NWA.

It would be interesting to compare lists of these few individuals.
I would bet that the ones on mine are probably on yours.

Please cite specific examples of DAL turning down JB pilots.
