Well said, I don't fly for ASA anymore (thank god everyday), but I don't see the problem, if you are late, tired, or just don't feel like playing the game that day then just say NO. On the other hand if you are in a good mood, then give them the professional courtesy and act like a professional (you know keep your jacket on and wear your hat under your headsets like on TV). That company needs help, bad. There has got to be some corporate culture changes happen or it will never get better. Maybe someone has stumbled onto something, and this program will help "them" understand a little more about "your" profession. Now that I think about it, maybe you pilots should shadow a ramp supervisor for a day and see how their day goes.AV8, as has been said many times in the other post, RELAX. As stated in the first paragraph, these are ramp and gate managers. They will not be your average gate/ramp agents out for a joy ride. The letter is simply to advise you of who will be in the js and what to expect.
Just extend them your a professional courtesy, fly the contract and move on.
COVER UP! You got to be sheting me! Has the FAA approved covering up these things? Hey BL, CT, and Sh, these things flash and buzz for important reasons! I will not cover up anything in the cockpit. It would make the aircraft unairworthy wouldn't it? C'mon ALPA, get on this quick! I wonder if the local FAA is aware of this program?
- Be prepared for a case of air sickness, have a bag handy.
- Cover normal cockpit warnings, flashing lights, aural alerts, TCAS, GPWS, radar, etc. Things you are used to may be quite un-nerving for the visitor. Chances are this person has never flown in a cockpit before.

I think if an approach is expected to be low (ex. 300 OVC) that the rider should be sent back to the cabin. They have no business up there when an instrument approach possibly down to minimums will be executed!
BAD IDEA ASA MANAGEMENT!
Pretty sure it meant talk about it with them, so they know what to expect. Not cover it up????COVER UP! You got to be sheting me! Has the FAA approved covering up these things?

Umm are you serious? By cover, it means go over, not COVER UP. Geez, you people need to relax!
