without naming names she apparently pointed something out that me as a capt would be glad she did. Going to the FAA not so much. Her picture and name is out there. I'm really bummed as an extra crew member she thought it necessary to tell the FAA over something that I'm sure has happened before. Unfortunately I will no tell what happened so I can't be sued but she did right in the cockpit, not so much after.

Please for the love of everything holy do not start denying rides to anyone.
I fly for SWA and anyone not on "the list" is welcome in my JS or any seat on the airplane. I probably average 1-2 United guys a trip due to where I am based. All comers are welcome. Let's educate the offender and move on.
And yeah, solving issues between pilots should start face to face and escalate from there. Going to the cops isn't a good look.

The irony is I'd expect the SWA crew to be just fine, as I'd bet the CVR and FDR were already overwritten by the time the FAA types could even finish their coffee. On the other hand, it is now probably dawning on the JSer in question that she is now sitting in a hot seat far less comfortable than the second Guppy jumpseat. She needs to seriously consider moving to base or finding employment with another carrier, as her commute options will severely constricted.

Ratting out a fellow crew, although at another airline, for an honest mistake that was quickly corrected, is messed up.
No remorse to the jumpseater when her name inevitably gets out and she is always getting turned down on Southwest, Delta and American alike.

Not sure how true it is, buts it’s circulating that the “violation” that happened was they were being vectored and told to slow to 210. FO pulls the spoilers and looks away for a second and before he knows it, the speed is below the UP bug. CA called for Flaps 5, they got them out and the rest was uneventful.

Going to the feds is the wrong way to deal with anything shy of intentional recklessness. Starting a jumpseat war is the wrong way to deal with a problematic jumpseater. There are channels for communication between labor groups. If you don’t know the correct channel for your concern, call your rep before you call anyone else.

she may become a millionaire after she sues UAL and FAA for leaking her name and pic.
