Ok, I apologize. It was a last minute very rushed situation. The agent asked if I could take the jumpseat to get another non-rev on. I said yes immediately without thinking it through. I was cleared by CASS and thought all was golden until the captain said 'nyet'.
No harm, no foul! |

No harm, no foul! If you give up nonrev or even deadhead status to help somebody out you always become last priority for getting on if W&B is an issue. And that CS agent who was so nice when she asked for your help is probably not going to be so nice if you ask her to pull off a pass rider and give that seat back to you two minutes prior to scheduled departure. |
Seriously, how can you be a longtime Captain and not know who and when it is allowed to have a pilot in your actual Jumpseat?
It was nice to give up your seat to another non-rev but always tell the agent "I'm OK with the jump but check first with the crew". |

I was denied a jumpseat on UA 5623 from GDL to IAH this morning (Sep 27) by the captain.
I fully understand that the JS is entirely at captains discretion but I have never been arbitrarily denied it's use. Over the years I have carried hundreds of jumpseaters and have never denied anybody. I understand that there may be an operational reason why I couldn't be accommodated but, if so, I wasn't informed of the reason. I'm a mainline UAL captain and would hate to have to start denying Skywest pilots the use of my jumpseat. Thoughts? You seem like a real gem. You admit you were late to the gate and you admit knowing there could have been an operational reason why (which was the case; No JS in the actual on international, which furthermore I find pretty hard to believe you didn't know about), but you still chose to write a *****y little comment about possibly denying skywest pilots. I noticed in your post history you also whined about not being given a heroes welcome on a DL flight before too. Think you might have a complex. |

Mods, thread doesn't pass the smell test, has done damage to the accused pilot group.

Have you reached out to Skywest's and your jumpseat committees? That's a poor showing if he didn't give you any reason.
