"informed"? Do you mean you got a company email stating this? Or do you mean you heard it on the bus from the FA who is dating the UAL employee shuttle driver?
"Newhire"? How is that relevant? Plenty of newhires at UA left NK/F9 with 10+ years of 121 experience, not all are aviate...
"correct"? And you found this out how? How about not bad mouthing people without posting proof.

A newer hire at United jumpseated on SWA recently from SFO-SAN and after the flight was over, decided she would notify the FAA on the inadequacies of the crew whose Jumpseat they graciously offered. Not going to name names but for gods sake, please mentor our newer hirers on how to Jumpseat properly and keep your damn mouth shut. At the very least, if you see something incorrect or wrong, very politely query the crew, if you feel you must, and let them explain themselves, if they choose to. If they choose not to and you are not satisfied, please contact our Jumpseat Committee and let them handle it.
Running to the FAA and skipping Rob's Committee is not the way to do this and I'd think that common sense would prevail but here we are.
Personally I don't say jack while I'm riding and am basically a very polite doormat. I've got to say I'm not surprised by this as some of our newer folks just seem to not get it at times and I'm not really sure how we can prevent this from happening in the future.
Rightly or wrongly, some of the SWA guys and gals are starting to turn down our Pilots as this story winds it way around their seniority list. Please share your thoughts on this with the people you fly with and remind them that Jumpseating is a privilege and not a right. Many of our Pilots depend on a ride from SWA and to be turned down because of someone else's foolishness is unforgivable.

Bad mouthing. Sorry dude if you fly for UAL then go to UALPILOTFORUM and see for yourself. This DID happen. I won't post the forum picture but this is what it said.

SWAPA president confirmed it is true. You can choose to believe me or not.
