Once, I was walking through the terminal in Denver. I was approaching another crewmember as I walked to my gate. As I always do, I made eye contact and gave him a nod of respect. This tool turned and looked the other direction. If you have to fly with guys that have an ego as big as.....
At the smaller domiciles, this isn't a factor. Just like the friendliness of a small town over the indifference felt in a larger one, I think that's what's at work.

I'm sure anybody would be happy to add 40 pounds to politely tell a challenging jumpseater to go bye bye.

Who knows, maybe as previously mentioned they were new captains and just going by the book.

Bad choice of words on my part Tony, as far as "kicked out", I meant to say the weight/balance didn't work. Have never been anything but professional and polite, despite any problem with the jumpseat. I can make 40 pounds disappear faster than Britney Spears loses her panties just to make sure a guy gets a ride home.

I wouldn't doctor any paperwork. There are several legal ways to get them on, especially if it was that close. Depending on the company, get with your dispatcher and show an extra 40 pounds of taxi fuel burn. That is by far the easiest way to do it.

exactly, considering the passenger weight and baggage estimates that you use anyway to do a w/b, youd be lucky if you were even within 1000 lbs of actual weight. but thats good enough for performance numbers since theyre conservative anway. thus the reason you should never leave a jumpseater behind

I know what you meant but not everyone one would with the usual connotation of that word. Just saying be careful.
