[QUOTE="Jumpseater, post: 1166157, member: 48451"] [B]Now, this one question/subject is why I joined this forum. Rico, every single point you made is absolutely 100% correct. Jumpseat DID disappear for awhile right after 9/11, but then returned in domestic only form which does me almost zero good because it is not expensive to travel domestically as far as I am concerned. Up until the pilots and Memphis conspired against us to exclude us from OUR planes(the pilots think the planes are theirs, so why not)I traveled to the Phils every 3 months. Fed Ex could have followed me around 24/7 while I was on the clock and do whatever they wanted to me as long as I had Jumpseat I would not care. It saved me 3,000 a year at that time in travel costs and if we still had it today(because I make more)that figure would be up around 6,000, so yes.....there was NOTHING more important to me than Jumpseat. The pilots and there is a distinction between domestic(Ken and Barbie)pilots and those overseas. The guys that I flew with loved us because we broke up the conversation. You have to realize that the 7.5-8.5 leg between ANC and KIX was very monotonous for them. All they did was read the paper and talk about the latest jewelry they had bought in HKG. They coined the phrase "Ken and Barbie" in relation to the domestic pilots because they(the asia guys)thought they were pusillanimous.
