Pretty appalling how many mainline guys over in the United version of this thread don't seem to care that they are violating a jumpseat agreement and make SkyWest out to be the bad guys for trying to get them to honor what they've agreed to.

There ways to address this successfully, and this ain’t it.

Last time United tried a stunt like this (yes, that's correct, this isn't the first time), all efforts were exhausted, proper channels pursued, etc and nothing became of those, so the jumpseats were denied. The problem got fixed. Can you really blame SkyWest's pilot leadership for telling everyone that if it doesn't get fixed, they'll resort to using a method that they know works?

But they should be sure and exhaust ALL normal efforts through channels before threatening the J Bomb in public... even a hint of that stirs up hate and discontent, which could impact attitudes towards hiring of SKW peeps in some circles. Already the topic du jour over at mainline...

I don't blame them one bit (lived through the last one).

With any luck one of them will be gone soon. Stuck with the other for a while though. For the record it wasn't much of a threat. Definitely a poorly thought-out memo that has since been "modified".
