Jumpseat Etiquette

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.

Yeah. About that. Our priority for seats in the back are the absolute bottom of the stack. I got bumped off a flight by a dog. I **** you not. A late passenger came running up at the absolute last minute with her freakin support dog that she had purchased a seat for. JS was already spoken for. I did the walk of shame off the plane with my bags so a dog could have my seat.

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.

I’ll state again, since you didn’t read it the first time, that we’re in it together. Not disparaging you guys. You guys are wrapped around the axle a little too tight
