Well... I might ask the guy in charge of the cyno generator to cycle it off so that I could get in and dock back up. If they say no, I'd park at a starbase. If there was no starbase, I would ask my FC who was in charge of this horrible op?
So that is all well and good for official ops, but the problem here is that the most common capital movements are unofficial. They are people moving their carriers to lowsec and back to pick up new PVP ships, they are people jumping Rorquals full of minerals down to (or up from Empire). They are not large fleet movements and if I ask the guy in charge of the cyno jammer to unjam the system so that I can pick up a fleet BS and a couple of new Zealots, he is going to tell me to go to hell. And that is assuming that he is even online, which he won't be, because he is German and I am American.
I can't park at a starbase because I'm not about to put my carrier in a SMA where anyone can grab it, which means that I have to stay in it... which means that I am being penalized in the same way that a mothership or titan pilot is, and that is rather unfair.
There is no "op", there is just the day to day flow of personal and corporate logistics in any 0.0 alliance, and this change would disrupt it completely - and be really irritating, and no fun at all.
I propose an alternative: Allow the cyno generator pos mod to function in cyno jammed systems. That way, you can still jump capitals in but your enemies cannot.
You could dock your carrier in a station-system, where there's no cyno-jammer to start with. Cynojammers are ment to be placed in your core-systems (read: some 2 or 3 ), and not everywhere. Cynojammers protect your capital shipyards and super-cap parking lots, not every cheap-ass carrier.
And your mentality of "I can jump into a jammed system and hide there, while my enemy can't"... well... NC at it's best I guess. Carebearland is over! And rightfully so. You want 0.0-space, then start fighting for it instead of hiding in cynojammed systems with tons of caps to throw at the BS-fleet that's incoming to beat the **** out of you.

The proposed changes are long overdue and they should've been implemented long before the last big wars. It would've been much more interesting this way.
