So we still don’t know the whole story? What are we still talking about? I think learning has occurred all around and it is time to move on. The idiot blogs, YouTubers, and instagram accounts have enjoyed enough of us putting our fellow pilots down.

Captains don’t have to give any reason for denying a jumpseater… and the union and/or management won’t intervene because they don’t have any authority over the JS… except for the must ride JS riders listed already. In fact, the captain (notice small c) could tell the gate agent no jumpseaters on the flight and not have to deal with any face/face discussions in the cockpit.

I think that you missed who needs to provide a reason. A poster said that a FO stating that they were uncomfortable with a jumpseater would lead the captain to deny the jumpseat. The reply was that the person who needs to provide the reason is the FO as to why they don't want the jumpseater in the cockpit. If the captain determines that it is a valid reason, they can then deny the jumpseat. If the captain determines that it is not a valid reason to deny the jumpseat, they can approve it and the FO can then accept that decision, or leave.
