Junior assigned at Mesa

[sbav8r]

The great part is that I don't even work for Mesa. Rode the jumpeat into PHX and was met at the gate by some little prick from the crew scheduling mafia. This guy looked like the kind of weasle that truly enjoyed junior assigning crews. Like he kinda got a kick out of having authority over pilots. He stood there and demanded that I show him my badge in the terminal. I gave him a hard time for a while in an effort to buy the crew enough time to get the hell out of there. Finally, I showed him my badge after he gave me an assignment. He made some smart remark and ran off looking for the FO, who was probably in the parking lot by this point.

Thanks for the ride guys, hope the rest of your day off went well.

Awesome, nice work!

Awesome.
I would have made a scene, pointed him out to TSA and said he was trying to steel my ID and uniform to gain access to the cockpit.
Last time MEsa would send schedulers to the terminal.

Don't be too sure about that...some of them would probably enjoy the full body cavity search!

Dude, you are so welcome in my jumpseat anytime!

And yeah, our crew trackers are out of control. I watched a Dash 8 crew walk into the terminal from a plane and watch a crew tracker try to junior assign the captain a CRJ flight.

I heard a good story about one of the crew trackers walking around the ramp at IAD JA'n crews. Well one of the Crews Called the airport cops saying an unauthorized person was out on the sida area with no badge. The story goes that the cops grabbed the A-hole tracker and mesa got a huge fine. If thats true...Awesome

 

[NoJoy]

He was there not to JA but to "re-assign"

At RAH, no junior manning and all days off even for reserves are hard days off that can't be movied.

Not the highest payscale on the block, but the above to me is worth a lot.

Why do these threads always turn into a "At my regional, we don't do that... we're better than that" , always compliments of some ******************************bag at Expressjet or Republic. Keep drinking the koolade my friend... I've heard the stories about RAH!!!
