One month of denied jumpseats, with a 3x5 printed card explaining why would have this fixed toot suite. A few crew cancellations at mama D would have their attention and it would be fixed. But many want to work for mama D and are loathe to do anything but toadie up and "go along" to get on eventually.

I was on one of the conference calls when MT or SL (can't remember which) was guest attendee. When denying jumpseats came up, he said something to the effect of "That would not be a good idea" because everyone was getting sick of being left behind with seats on the plane. Shortly after that call, it was magically fixed. Still not fully reciprocated, but less issues than before. It was also around that time it was discovered it wasn't an issue with Delta IT like we had been told for the past year. It was because LH negotiated away those benefits. Someone can chime in if I am not remembering that right.

The reason SGU doesn't want a jump seat war is because it is their decision. LH has decided to save some coin by not giving the E175 pilots flight bennys and our representation (and our pilot group) have sent the message that we are okay with that decision. Once we start flying the 175 for Delta, there is absolutely no reason that all E175 pilots shouldn't have the same benefits as the CRJ group. But just because it is the right thing to do doesn't mean that it will happen.

The boss isn't always right, but he's always the boss.

That works if you hold a line, but how are you going to stick to that when you upgrade to MSP RSV CA and they TDY you to ORD to do some Eagle flying, or SEA/PDX to do Alaska flying? Serious question, not trying to be a twit.

Same thing you do as an fo reserve. Refuse the trip. Flown with many reserve captains who Share my view.

Not really practical. You could call in sick or fatigued a few times but you could not tell the MOD "I don't fly planes that I don't get bennies on".

They could and very possibly would fire you on the spot.

Tell it to the handful of captains in den who share my viewand haven't been fired yet. As I haven't.

There is the important part. Try it as an FO and see what happens

Yep.......

Remember making these posts when you go back to the well one too many times and the CP calls you in and tells you to hand over your badge.

You are refusing to work for reasons that have nothing to do with safety or legality and is completely within the terms of your employment.

If you do this regularly, you are on a list and someday soon you WILL be fired and no one will be able to get you your job back.

Thus ends a potentially multi-million dollar career.
