Boris Badenov said:*shrug*. If I were the PIC on an aircraft that had a jumpseat, the first time I heard a story about the C/A getting cashiered because a jumpseater didn't like what he was doing, I'd just put some yellow tape over the jumpseat for the rest of time. Dangerous road to go down. Sez me, anyway.
If you start denying people the jumpseat 'just because someone mentioned something to you' I assure you that you will also be getting a call for your unprofessionalism.
By NOT speaking up in the jumpseat you are going down the dangerous road. You are getting the piss test and an interview from the FAA/NTSB if you are on the jumpseat and something happens. Any captain worth the air they breath tells a jumpseater to speak up if they see anything they don't like.
