Your idiocy is beyond words. The Polar contingent jumpseated-at no expense to ALPA to see Mr. Flynn for his "meet and greet" and you jerk-offs bought train tickets and expensed them to ALPA...dressed in nice suits and pretended to be executives. Hint: Despite the nice rags, the Company continues to use you and the rest of the Atlas pilots as doormats. But if Dave and Paul and Phil and Tom feel better dressed up to go see Papa--thats OK with us. They looked real purty. Funny, never see Caputo dressed that way.
Note: After that meeting, I jumpseated into a trip after your Negotiating Committee canceled any further meetings...ya moron.
Well first, you don't need to be in uniform to jumpseat. And if you were trying to "SAVE" ALPA national some money it would be the first time in the history of your council.
Secondly most airlines require that you be in an active works status to jumpseat; in fact here is a quote from one airlines
JS agreement: "Use of cockpit jumpseats is restricted to pilots, flight engineers, and aircraft dispatchers
who are in an active work status. it will
not be extended to contract employees, trainees, furloughed personnel, retirees, employees on leave of absence or sick leave." [emphasis theirs]
My guess is that full time UB is considered, at least for the airline quoted above, as a leave of absence - in any case most of you are not in an "active work status."
And for you personally here is another quote "OMC travel is restricted to personal use. No company business use of any kind, including crew movement is permitted."
Drink some more koolaid vac - you will feel better soon.
