I support you but not sure this is true. Iv’e never flown with a CA who has or would deny a scab the seat. I usually ask their opinion on the matter and not one has said they would. I just flew with a guy wearing the battlestar and asked him. He said he’d let the guy jump but wouldn’t speak with him.

Not challenging your observations, but that doesn't sound like the United I know. Sorry to stereo type but perhaps you are working with predominantly previous CAL types??
Back when I was an FO I can't recall a single Captain that would allow one on the JS. Unless I was flying with a scab that is.....
I guess at the end of the day I can only speak for myself. From what I've written you know how I treat scabs. I've never had an FO be anything but appreciative and happy that I don't allow them to ride.

EFF that! When I was a commuter geek plenty of Capt's carried and used the list to deny the JS when a scab showed up. Now I use my phone to check. If he doesn't look, I consider it my obligation to look and to inform the Cap when a BFing scab wants to ride. This really isn't that hard. Playing nice when you don't know is one thing, turning a blind eye when you do is inexcusable.

It’s your call but if you do kick a scab off expect a call from your CP and pro standards. If you call him a Scab, Human Resources May get involved. I prefer to leave them on and subtly harass them in a passive aggressive manner that can’t be used against me. But again totally your call.

The jumpseat denials work in the other direction as well. I spent the night in IAD a couple years back trying to get home when a scab denied me a jumpseat on my commute. I was not happy say the least. The point is politicizing the jumpseat does affect others at times.
I am curious though if any of you keyboard warriors commute, do you take other flights if a scab is the Captain? I actually base my commute on the list when I can and avoid if at all possible.
