I know what's going on I've read the memo. It says we're suppose to deny them jumpseats. Honestly I expect this to fall through very quickly. I just don't like starting something with another pilot group that I have nothing but respect for and have no issues with.

You off probation yet? If not, you walking off that flight is the time to keep walking on to your next career. It is the captain's discretion and authority regarding the jumpseat. Period. End of discussion. You may express your disagreement with his decision, but if you take the action described, it would be the most foolish action. Your career is worth more than a ***in match with a captain over issues you have little experience with and no authority over.

But you DON'T know what is going on at your own airline in regards to this "memo".
Again, I highly suggest you call Jackie Battipaglia, your jumpseat coordinator at CHQ, to confirm or refute involvement in this thing.
Or, if you prefer, continue to be spooled up over something that will ultimately amount to nothing...

You might sing a different tune if you watched the last flight of the night (to your home city) leave with a mainline guy on your airlines' jumpseat.
It has happened to me at an airport where I couldn't get down to the gate to speak with the captain. The uneducated gate agent said that she would not talk to the captain, that the UAL guy took precidence no matter what.
The $60 (on F/O pay) hotel room I bought that night was a nice touch. Hope he enjoyed the ride.

Do you think he even had a clue you were there if you could not get down to talk to the Captain. Pretty lame to blame the UAL pilot.
