This is how it was explained to me.

Absolutely mind boggling.

And...I will not wrongfully deny a united pilot a jump seat, but there will be no more "making it work" to get one on. If the numbers don't work, they just don't work. No favors...unless you got $20 in your hand.

This is wrong. ALWAYS help out a commuting pilot. Grow up.

Nolightoff,, Just hush up and pay your dues "little man". It'll all come in time. I made 20k a year for years at the regionals. Unless your coming from the military(never held a job),, born with a silver spoon crammed in your ***,, your going to have to pay your dues 2x. Just the way it is. Be happy and really enjoy the ride.
