That's Europe, it isn't the same here. Many unions have a requirement not to ride the
JS as it makes it unavailable for commuters working their way to or from a trip. Many, myself included are domiciled in one city but live elsewhere. This happens by choice, or in my case the domicile closed underneath me requiring me to commute. Thus is the reason that the
JS isn't used much if at all to transport DH crewmembers. Any airline that sticks on duty pilots in the
JS risks leaving commuting pilots behind. This in turn puts the Airlines pilot's
JS ability at risk as agreements between Airlines are reciprocal. If airline X puts DH pilots in the actual
JS enough, the pilots who commute at airline X will be excluded from other airlines jumpseats.
You may not like it, but that's the way it is here.
