did you hear that he confirmed it or see it yourself. Can you copy and paste what he said here? It’s not that I don’t believe you. I just don’t not believe you either.

i saw the screen shot from fb of the SWAPA prez commenting on the story and confirming it’s true . Again, you don’t have to believe an internet stranger. I don’t care either way

Q o

FAA and Southwest Jumpsea tv Robert McCartney • Wed May 08, 2024 1120 am

A newer hire at United jumpseated on SWA recently from SFO-SAN and after the flight was over, decided the would notify the FAA on the inadequacies of the crew whose Jumpseat they grackously offered. Not going to name names but for gods sake, please mentor our newer hirers on how to Jumpseat, property and keep your damn mouth shut. At the very least, if you see something incorrect of wrong, very politely query the crew, if you fect you must, and let them explain themseives, if they choose to. If the) choose not to and you are not satisfied, please contact our Jumpsest 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 serse 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 l'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 tist. 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 footishness


that's the best I can do. So I don't GAS if you believe it or not. If you fly for UAL you can confirm this pretty easily. My pic is not a URL so pasting it here doesn't work.

I just wanted to know if a UAL pilot has seen this too. If you like I'll delete the whole thread and you can just find out about it next time you try and JS.
you all need to chill out. This affects all pilots, not just the idiot that did it. Time to educate those kids new to the major's. I'm not the enemy here, this newhire at UAL is

yeah start a JS war because of one bad egg out of 17,000. Not saying the pilot in question was right but try not to blow this out of the water.

looks like you’re the one that needs to chill out…..

I mean if they’re smoking Ganja up there during sterile, or sleeping at the wheel id say good on her. But. what did they do that was so awful?

Can’t be as dumb as letting a baseball coach take the wheel. Am I right?

too late brother, this crap filtering throughout the system. Just got this from a buddy
And who is starting the war. I'm not talking to the FAA. Im protecting myself from an idiot Maybe you should find out who started it...

Dude, my bro at Alaska just kicked a UA jump seater off. He said “No way in hell are you riding up here until we get info on this crap.” **** yes!
