Interesting. If you dish it out, I would be prepared to receive it as well. I'm not pro-union or anti-union, just an observer.

Dude he's a SCAB captain saying that to a union pilot......where is the disconnect in your brain that this is ok? Your post made no sense.

I see gojets was mentioned as a scab. yeah i know the story of go jets but it is now an airline that who knows may adopt a union some day. So some 19 yr old kid gets a job because of thier low low mins and hes branded a scab? is that for life?

All the viseral lasting hate towards scabs cant be healthy guys.

I have yet to but WILL deny any gojet or "old freedom" pilot.

The issue is not whether they are union, but that they are lending their services to a company soley designed to sell out and undercut other pilots trying to negotiate a fair contract.

Precisely why I voted 'yes' in this poll. If you are a Go-jetter or original Freedom guy then you can not ride my jumpseat if I am the Captain. End of story. Ask the two Freedom guys I kicked off in Denver when I was at Lakes.

No, you didn't. And my question was not meant to antagonize you. It seemed that you were agreeing with the other poster(s) about denying a jumpseat to VX, Sjybus, etc.

Considering how hard it is to strike at an airline, do you think they would be there for no good reason. That list is a testament to people who turned their backs on fellow pilots. Stuff like that isn't forgotten and isn't easily forgiven.

Maybe that individual is happy in their job.

Denying someone a ride just because they work for a company you don't agree with is wrong. Another post in this thread mentions everyone working as a team and helping each other out. Denying someone a ride for reasons stated above is not being a team or helping a fellow pilot. It seems that you can be a member of the team, so long as you support what we want and share our beliefs.

When I move to the left seat, I will not deny a fellow pilot a ride, regardless of who they are employed by. It's all about taking care of each other. I may not agree with their politics, but I will extend my hospitalities.

Just remember that the guy you deny today could be the one you're begging a ride for later................. Who will you be hurting then? Just something to think about.

I won't ask GJ for a ride.

I hope they enjoy the growth and upgrade that those 15 jets bring them. They haven't gotten any more and I doubt they'll get much considering we're taking routes from them.

If you're dumb enough to go work for somebody without doing your homework on who you are working for then yeah, you're going to get denied a jumpseat. It's not like they're the only one hiring and how are you doing yourself any favors by not finishing school? Do you want to fly for a regional the rest of your life?

You're not doing yourself, or your fellow pilots any good by working for GJ, Skybus, or anybody else that's lowering the pay and bennefit bar.

Give it a few years and a few screwings by an alter-ego. That'll change your mind.

So the Captain at UPS does not have control of his jumpseat. At this time we are not in Contract Talks- So why is this still written. And why does the FAA still support this language? Read the FAR's. The FAA Counsel has totally disregarded the Reg. And we will win this in the future.

Weenie-

Really?

I've denied jumpseats since then. No one said anything about it. I haven't, and won't ever give up MY authority. The FAA was absolutely correct in determining that the jumpseat issue was labor related. The regs haven't changed. I still have my authority. I just know when to use it.
