But anything the pilots want, even if it is mutually beneficial, is pushed aside or we are told there is no time or resources. (Virtual domiciles, reserve proffering, trip stacking)

This needs to be talked about more. Unfreaking believable that they did this.

JS while deadheading
Just curious, what is your pilot group's stance on a deadheading crewmember taking the jumpseat? I witnessed this twice in the last week, both were SKW employees. One was on a flight I was working out of LAX, which the captain shot down immediately. The other instance, a Skywest operated flight, bumped a commuting pilot off the jumpseat on the last flight of the day, leaving the individual stranded for the night. I realize there is no union there to provide direction on the issue, but is the pilot group really cool with that?
This is a big no-no at ALPA carriers, and can put your company's JS agreement in jeopardy. Especially when a commuting pilot gets bumped by someone who should be a ticketed passenger in the back.

What are you talking about? I'd never take the jump if there was a commuter trying to get on. I make that perfectly clear to the gate agent and won't board until the last minute. Where does it say a DH pilot is not permitted in the jump? I think it's the right thing to do if there are pax or other non revs trying to board that wouldn't make it on if you didn't take the jump.

But you wouldn't bump a commuting pilot off the jump because the gate agent is pressuring you into it. And that's what I'm saying is wrong. I witnessed it just a couple of days ago and was wondering if that is SOP over at OO.
