He says sure if you will get me home tonight and my next trip you find someone to take my spot, and I get it off. They ask the first officer if he will cut a deal with them and fly this trip from SFO-DEN. If you jumpseat you are a freeloader just trying to catch a ride for free.Ī flight in SFO needs a f/o or the flight will cancel, they have a pilot who is about to land in DEN. When you deadhead you hold a positive space seat. To answer your question that a pilot couldn't do(abjubilee), a deadheader is some who is trying to get home or to a city they must work a trip in. You cant argue with me and yes it is futile, we are from two different worlds and sadly enough the pilots like yourself have put yourselves their. Talking to you and the others who respond with the typical jealousy response is like talking to a monkey( not you) just the fact you all respond they way you have always seen or been told. Your unoriginal response was not a surprise, for most pilots respond the very same way. I have once again proven my point, I had someone read the thread you wrote and the one I responded to and sure enough like a fish to the hook you responded like I had said. So if you think I am bitter? Who really cares what you think, if you were a CSR complaining to me then it might hit hard, but you are a pilot who thinks it is right. Only time will tell, so these perks are pretty much short lived. Either they will take drastic pay cuts and change the work rules, or we will be in chap.7 and they get no paycheck. But things will change for our wonderful pilots soon. They can only ride in an open jumpseat for flight attendants, is that a perk? Not really. If there is a plane leaving with 5 open seats and our pilots(omc) and flight attendants don't want to use write your owns to get the seat, then the OMC'S get all the 5 seats. 7)And for the record also, CJA'S or flight attendants can only jumpseat if there in an extra seat at the jumpseat. We here at UNITED have some very,very nice pilots but they are the old grey hairs, once they are gone we get the cocky young ones.Ħ)my bitterness is actually a front, I vent here on the PC about them, I could careless when I work the gate about them. And for the record, I get along with OUR pilots when their egos don't get in the way. 4)This is perk of the job? Cool, just like when you see our idiot pilots sitting at a 777 gate with 50 non-revs trying to get 5 open seats on the plane and I check on an open computer and see an empty A320 leaving 5 minutes earlier five gates away and I get first class, just a perk? I guess.5) And about the being home at night? Find another job that will keep you home at night, don't blame me because you cant be home at night. They need the jumpseat, they don't make a fraction of what our pilots make for now anyways. UA Pilots shot themselves in the foot by allowing so many regionals to take our routes, I am happy to help out an express pilot. Captain will turn AWAC,ACA,SKYWEST away in a heartbeat, so no we don't treat the ACA guy bad. Ok, first things first.1) Typical agent mentality? The fact that you whinners get a free ride and the rest of us have to pay? Think about that.2) Jealous about what? Because the captain will take as many jumpseaters as he wants? That wouldn't be jealousy that would be unfair.3) aca jumpseater doesn't hold a candle to a UA pilot jumpseating. And as far as occupying the physical jumpseat, post 9/11 this means that you can basically only occupy the physical jumpseat of the airline you work for - and that is only if there are no open seats in the cabin. By the way - it is up to the discretion of the agent and then the flight crew as to which cabin the jumpseater occupies. Since there isn't 5 physical jumpseats on the 777, I suspect UA has the open jumpseat policy. Airbus has 2 jumpseats, so they'll take 4 jumpseaters. Northwest has something inbetween- they'll take as many as there are physical jumpseats + 2, example. So, 1 jumpseat on the flightdeck = 1 jumpseater. On the otherhand, some airlines will only accomodate as many jumpseaters as there are physical jumpseats. At my company we'll accomodate as many jumpseaters as we have open seats after all revenue passengers and nonrevs have boarded. Second, each airline has a different jumpseat policy. It's apart of the benfit of being an airline pilot (or cargo). first, jumpseating is FREE - so that's why it's cheaper.
