was trying to get to NYC during an IROP in Atlanta one day. Had the jump on a 320 that was optimized. Agent, who was a red coat, refused to allow me to take seat because the load agent said no and said the FOM only applied to pilots, she didn't have to follow it. Captain was no help.Originally Posted by NERD
You are correct sir! Had an agent in the ATL on an optimized flight try and sodomize the jump seaters. After politely explaining the jumps would be going and getting no where, I called dispatch. Handed the phone to the agent and all 3 jumps got home.
So I called skeds to tell them I wouldn't be making my push time and told her why. She told me to wait a minute, listed me as priority must ride and told me to tell the agent she could either let me jumpseat or pull a revenue passenger off the flight. Red coat was furious, and I guess it didn't help that I was laughing the whole time.
