I think it is just a question that could be asked. That's all. If ALPA doesn't object then it is no big deal. However... It isn't a witch hunt with other carriers as with the scab list thing but a valid question that could be addressed to ALPA. Are the actions against ALPA jump seat policy? Obviously you do not think so, so be it; what's the problem with asking?
Well if you are talking about the Polar Pilots using the Atlas jumpseat at the direction of the company then yes it should be asked. But it is not for me to ask as it is not my business.

If you are talking about the Atlas pilots jumpseating in lieu of using their gateway tickets then no because:

1. It is none of your business
2. If it was asked it should not be in a public forum
3. It does not go against ALPA Policy as long as it is for the pilots benefit. It is no different than some other freight carriers travel bank, Those pilots sometimes use the jumpseat when it benefits them - I know because I have had them on my airplane.

4. and mostly because IT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! It especially ain't any business of layinlow as he doesn't even work for AAWWH anymore.


It was asked of the ALPA national JS chair many years ago (not some no-nothings on a web-board) and in fact was discussed by both the Polar JS Chair and the Atlas JS Chair. And it was asked of all the other airline jumpseat chairman. What you see above is the answer.

Guess you will have to find another way to try to screw Atlas pilots.
