99.9% of Captains are absolutely onside when it comes to authorising jumpseats, however despite the pain that the new(ish) jumpseat authorisation form causes and undoubtedly is. Alternatively book your hotlines far enough in advance and tactically and most of the time you won’t even have to worry about contacting them as you’ll be confirmed anyway. Let’s not make commuting into more of an issue here than it really is in practicality. At least MAN has a Cat III ILS!!

If only. Standbys are at cost and double the price of an easyJet confirmed staff travel fare. Is it any wonder most BA Pilots don’t feel valued when a LCC has a far better staff travel proposition? (Amongst many, many other issues).
