We'll have to disagree slightly then.

Friends/family first of course, obvious in this scenario, and then if your friend happens to be a co-worker, so be it.

By after many years, and many employers, my primary "co-worker" group is fellow pilots regardless. I sometimes fly with guys whom I flew with 20 years ago, four jobs ago. I consider all airline pilots to be in that group, and they get treated accordingly. My "secondary" co-worker group would be non-pilot employees of my current airline.

Do this long enough and you'll probably develop the same attitude. If not, you might be part of the problem. Don't fall in love with your employer, they'll take advantage of you if they can, and except for a select few, they probably won't be your employer in 10-20 years.

Just checked with the gate agent and his non rev seniority would have granted him a seat in the back. You were saying?

Am I mistaken in thinking that jumpseating on another airline is a privilege and not a right?
You’re getting a free ride...it’s FREE
Getting you to work is really not MY problem.

Are you OAL looking for a ride?

Where I am going on my company jumpseat is none of the other JS riders business.

Sounds like you’re threatening a jumpseat war over a legit use of the jumpseat in proper assignment order.

You will lose that fight.

Republic is flying exactly no routes that are it's own. They make money for mainline carriers. We are all in this together, and none of this is free.

Why are they flying routes that are not their own? How much scope and mainline pilot jobs did you ***** out for more money? i.e., it's not their fault. Thanks for playing.
