This is the second time you have let your sentiment be known that you wish to punish all Sunwing Pilots by denying a Jump Seat.... And once again I will remind you that Sunwing pilots are not the cause of this problem.

I realize too that I might be wasting my breath and bandwidth responding to your post as you seem to have made up your mind that you are satisfied that punishing those who are victims of these circumstances is some how going to correct the issue at hand.

It is too bad that you feel that your are now further justified to deem all of us as "persona non grata" because you do not agree with some individuals who might have differing views than yourself or Cpt. Gilles Huddicourt.

I have never understood people who think like this...but I guess it is as they say: "Takes all kinds to make the world go around."

Oh well... Hopefully not everyone will share your view or will take your position. I would almost bet money that if I needed a ride on a flight operated by Gilles, I would have the pleasure of meeting him personally and he would do as myself and without hesitation allow me the privilege to ride along.

Meanwhile I can assure you that a ride will always be hospitably offered to any pilot that needs to catch a lift on any of my flights. I will save the politics for government and big business.

At the end of the day, we are all just pilots you know.

This is getting ridiculous. Holding your jumpseat for ransom is absolutely inappropriate, and infantile. In fact, at most US carriers, if your jumpseat committee was notified that you were messing with reciprocal agreements out of spite, you (personally) could lose your own js privileges completely. Grow up.

I do agree, however, with checking credentials to make sure none of the European contractors slip through the cracks and get rides they are not entitled to.

Tailgunner, if everybody had the same (bad) attitude as you, then AC pilots would be the first to be blocked from other airlines. You do realize that AC management has done more harm to the industry than any other airline in recent history? (Perhaps Jetsgo comes close). Perhaps you should also ask any potential jumpseaters what their thoughts are on gun control or abortion? You wouldn't want somebody on board with a different viewpoint as you, would ya? :roll:
