No, the point was that he said napping was not sleeping. So the pilots are allowed to nap, but not sleep.....
Kinda reminds me of Bill Clinton said, "It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If the--if he--if 'is' means is and never has been, that is not--that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement....Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true."

ATA did not do a thing for this. ALPA was the driving force behind the entire restoration of the jumpseat and CASS. They spent a lot of money making it happen.

If memory serves me correctly, it was Alaska, UPS, and American that were the front running airlines to get it up and running.
Not like it's a secret, two of those companies are not ALPA.
