Can't, but TL/DR: JS is great, and open to all. Incident not mentioned.

You tell me if this makes any sense to you:

In what and whose world does it make sense to call the FAA if you're a pilot? What are you gonna say? "Yeah hi... I was the jumpseater and I pointed out an airspeed deviation to thew crew that was distracted by looking out for traffic." "OK ma'am, so what happened?" "They sped up and landed the plane with no further issues."

Again, what pilot would actually call the FAA and report that? That's the part I'm struggling to understand because it literally makes no sense. I could see a Karen manbun spouse who traveled on that plane making that call off the casual conversation with her... not a working airline pilot.

That's why when Casey apparently addressed this to the upgrade class and said it was her husband who was also traveling on that plane that called the FAA after she mentioned what happened to him. That actually made sense.
You don't live in the current generation, do you?

Aww John Carr you old softie. Even when I’m not saying anything about DEI you can’t stop thinking about me talking about DEI. Someday I’ll pay back rent on all this headspace of yours I’m using up, I promise. My money’s just a little tied up with the local drag queen story hour I’m funding currently.

why would anyone not want to open the jump seat? Even to someone known to snitch to the FAA. Let the FAA call me, what do they want to know? Heck, if they call me I don’t have to wait on hold.

Have you ever stopped to think that half the time I post, it's to annoy people like you?

I can't imagine all the "headspace" you have to expend being an SJW, must get tiring.....

Oh believe me I’ve tried. But John is as heteronormative as they come, so he prefers this little dance we do. It isn’t conventional, but it’s ours & you can’t take that away from us.

Big up to APC Mods for keeping this thread up and open now that both UAL ALPA and SWAPA JS committes have told all of us to cool down and ignore the social media hyperbole. Again great job by APC Mods....
