CB,
If in fact you are a 121 B-747 Capt, then surely you know the rules regarding the jumpseat.
It is a privilege, not a right.
While I agree that if you were refused the Captain could've been a little more diplomatic, if it happened like you said, there could've been other reasons for you being denied, such as weight, j/s all ready occupied, Capt on a line ck with a tough ck airman, or other reasons, and "not on the list" was just the easiest way to say no.
However, if your attitude in person is anything like that of your posts, I'm surprised all you got was a refusal.
Sounds like your ops people need to get on the stick and work on your j/s agreements.
By the way, cute little profile you've got there...marks you as a real professional in my opinion.
