Hopefully, less greedy managers will prevail...but I think we all know better.

And you know whats the worst part? is not even about being greedy. Is just them being A*holes........is not like they are giving up revenue or anything. They just like to have bargain chip to use against the pilot group (a stuped one by the way)
I know some pilots that J/S or have J/Sd with AA and they are angry at AA for them being so complicated about the J/S and are not very happy to let AA J/Seaters ride with them (although they still let them). I think it's unfair to give someone a hard time just because his/her company's policy. Like aa73 said, it's not the pilot group, it's managment A*holes.

I'm sure you're gonna love Buenos Aires. It's one of my favorites cities. It's like a piece of Europe mixed up with the Argentinian culture. There's no way you can get bored in that city. I'll be going there soon too. (I'll jumpseat with Delta though
hahaha) Enjoy your trip !
