I'm the same guy on this board as any of the other sites (same call sign). I have even been called by name on this board. I have had dinner & beverages w/ Guther in CLT. While still a rookie FO, I have NEVER encouraged the denial of the jump seat. As a lifetime commuter I have ALWAYS supported the use of the jump seat for any qualified rider. Having had a number of easties on the hotseat..an adult conversation is most usual. We here in the west just don't understand how any east thinks the courts will overturn a final and binding seniority award. We will not capitulate and give you what you seem to think you are entitled to. We are funded and prepared to finish this in the courts (even if we have to help you pay for your side of the argument). See you in the jump seat, Pops. I'll buy the first round of prune latte's. 🙂
