What's your beef, GJ is GJ, not TSA. It's our flying with seperate union, contract and good rates. At least we're not forcing mainline out of a job and replacing them with our 70 seaters.

'Cause mgmt created an alter ego carrier to do it for us when we demanded more money for bigger planes. We tried to raise the bar, and instead, they brought in people willing to sell out their fellow pilots and do it for less.

Honestly, why do you think people dislike gojet pilots? It's not 'cause your planes are shinier than ours. It's because very day you go to work, you're lowering the bar for an entire industry of people who are already vastly undercompensated. But hey, you got to fly shiny jets.

You're right. I'll be the first on board when we give ALL jets to mainline and we all get our mainline seniority numbers (and vastly larger paychecks).

In a perfect world, the question of proper dress for the jumpseat would never arise. Everyone would just know and act accordingly rather than try to determine what the limits are.

It is understood that below QUESTION 'crosses the line,' yet hypothetical...

QUESTION:
Could you have a cocktail before jumpseating?

Is a a jumpseater (sitting on flightdeck) considered 'available crew'? Example: in case of working pilot incapacitation or another UA 232?

How about if cabin jumpseating?
