This is a case of a guy that couldn't get a non-rev seat because the flight was...wait for it....full. And the JS was previously the only option.
In this case he makes a single phone call to Galactic HQ and is given a seat. Meanwhile, a pax is voluntarily bumped ($$$).
Everybody wins.

In this case the person who requested the Jumpseat is just being a Jacka$$ itching for a fight by listing for the jump instead of using his non-Rev privileges.
Well he wanted to get in the jumpseat to "educate" the lowlife regional guy.
Exactly why there will not be a UAL in my actual jumpseat. At this point you have become a distraction from me doing my job instead of a possible additional crew member who will help me out if the stuff hits the fan, or I miss a radio call.

As far as your decision to take or deny, that is all on you.

Watching all this “rationalizing” is like watching a baby smoke a cigarette.

As others have stated, I work for a UAX exclusive carrier and Skywest operates the first flight from my local airport to my base. UAL doesn't operate any flights between these two cities, and a 30 minute commute would be a 3 hour commute doing a two leg on UAL. Since I no longer have DAL travel benefits, I have to JS or buy a ZED fare. In this case, I was denied the JS and had to purchase a ZED fare on a wide open flight. If I ask for flowback to the empty back, it's still using the JS privileges and you need to check in with the CA in which he stated management and the COO has told everyone via e-mail today that it's a violation against your certificate to carry us.

This is a made up war. The only victims are the Skywest and Republic Captains who have been mislead and placed in a difficult position by sapa. My jumpseat remains available until the United MEC changes its position.

Wrong. In this hypothetical situation the United pilot didn’t ask for a jumpseat with seats available in the back. He was told no by the captain and then United bumped a paying passenger or possibly a non rev employee of the operating regional to get the United pilot to base.
As far as your decision to take or deny, that is all on you.

As for listing for the jump in hopes of sliding into first without the ridiculous UAL fee, maybe UALPA should negotiate free upgrades to First class like Delta does.
Yep the decision is mine and I'll stand by it

Violation? Nobody said the issue is based off a violation, the issue is as United put it, lack of an agreement. You are welcome on my jumpseat when an agreement is reached.

So United paid off a FIRST CLASS $$$$$ passenger for the commuting pilot instead of an economy class?.
