And what company do you work for? I can't say that I blame them if you work for a company that doesn't extend jumpseats to them (such as PSA).
This is exactly why playing "jumpseat wars" is dangerous. Before long, management catches on to the game, and then you have to worry about more jumpseating privileges.

I can't say I would deny anyone a jumpseat, but not letting me on is really damaging what little sympathy I have for them.

I would not welcome a gojet guy on my airplane, and by the same token I would not ask them for a ride. I am not going to pretend to be all friendly to get a JS, and then talk sh*t behind their backs. Folks who use their jumpseat should not be two-faced about it, just my opinion.

Why would you even try? Take a little longer walk and go over to the AA terminal. At least then you would have some dignity.

Gotta disagree with you there, Josh. This is why playing "jumpseat wars", and not being unified, is dangerious. Unfortunately there are some carriers out there that just want to forget about this and let them ride. All that does is hurt the carriers that are unified against gojet. Because the gojet guys are still able to get to work on the weak carriers. My only hope is that a bunch of these guys will miss their commute and get fired for missing an assignment.

its your call hippies,
either let everyone jumpseat everywhere and watch the bar slowly become lower and lower
or take a stand, tell someone no and prevent alterego, union bustin companies from ever happening
aviation is the only industry where people give free rides to work to other people undercutting their pay. you dont see teamster truckers picking up illegal immigrants and giving them a rife to their job do you?

That's too bad. You would think that those guys would be trying like hell to make friends... it's like being the fat girl at the dance. She better have a great personality and some good backseat skills..

As an FO I have no authority for denying a jumpseat, but if we did have a GoJet pilot on our jumpseat (are they even CASS?) I would make it a miserable experience for them. They would earn that ride by looking me in the eyes and explaining to me why THEY chose to work for GoJet when dozens of other carriers were hiring, why its okay for them to have a job at the expense of my friends that got furloughed, and what they think about being an active participant in Hulas' whipsaw of TSA ALPA.
Then when we got to the destination, I'd tell them to have a nice day.
