ASA non-revers on Delta

[WAVIT Inbound]

Speaking from the point of view of the bastard stepchildren of the jumpseat...I can't say enough of about the crews at mainline Delta being so welcoming on my back and forth runs to/from DFW.

It may not matter much to y'all...but a jumpseat war not only hurts your fellow pilots, but hits some of us dispatchers pretty hard, as well.

As far as the segment fees are concerned, I recently read the following:

You are right. The per segment fee will no longer be required by ASA, and Skywest airlines.

While I think Pennekamp is a pompous ass, and as loath as I am to come to his defense, I really don't think he was refering to the jumpseat in this case. Delta travel S3C on ASA, and considering how much domestic flying we do for them, many of their commuters are now struggling to get to and from work as non-rev's.

Yes, that's EXACTLY what I was referring to.

 

[John Pennekamp]

It's funny you bring this up.

While I hate the "new" pay per segment policy at Delta, and agree about the Almighty Double Breasted Delta D!cks, I have to say that is the dumbest statement I have ever heard. The jumpseat is not a weapon, it is not a negotiating tool, it is an extra seat to facilitate pilots' ability to live where they want.

I am a commuter and I have now started to see a backlash from Delta pilots who are getting screwed or given a hard time about our new pass benefits. So basically all you are doing is screwing your fellow ASA pilots who are trying to make this thing work. Luckily the Delta guy I dealt with was pretty reasonable and agreed with me that we shouldn't get into a jumpseat war over this. They have nothing to do with our pass privileges. They do not negotiate for them and shouldn't have to.

He asked me to have a word with our pilots about this and I said I would with anyone I talk to. Lets act like professionals. Lets try to get our pass privileges back, but lets not start a jumpseat war with Delta. It's going to end up hurting us more than it hurts them.

I hope you feel better now that you got that off your chest. And spare me the lecture on "professionalism" I distinctly recall saving your bacon after a very unprofessional act you committed a couple of years ago.

Now with that said, I was referring to the Delta pilots not getting on our constantly weight limited flights as S3C non-revs. I have never denied a jumpseat to anybody.

Regarding them having "nothing to do with our pass privileges", back long before you came to ASA, the Delta MEC filed a grievance when we were given DOH S3 priority on Delta after they bought us. The Delta pilots didn't think we should be given anything over them on "their" airplanes. They lost the grievance, but have been fighting our pass benefits ever since. It appears they finally won.

We know all about your "professionalism" after your infamous "if you're my f/o you'll do as I say" quote.

Good for you!

I don't understand why you regional pricks have such a hard time with this. Delta employees go first on Delta airplanes, and ASA employees go first on ASA airplanes.
Even someone as simple minded as you should understand that!

Surely, you don't really believe I tell my FOs that. Please tell us you're not that stupid so as to take comments meant to flame people on Flightinfo seriously.

As for us regional pricks, we have no love for Almighty Double Breasted Delta Pilots, so maybe you and your squadron buddies better rent a car next time your S3C priority isn't getting you to work on an ASA airplane. Or you can petition to get everybody back to S3. Get it now?

Oh, so I get it, you write things just to flame people??
So you're a "flamer?"

Guess what sparky. Based on your airlines stellar performance, riding a bicycle will get anyone to their destination faster. Oh and lets not forget to book another airplane cause your POS airplane can't carry any bags! Got it now??
No wonder pricks like you can't get hired anywhere!

Hey, y'all just read his posts and ask yourself who is the one angry at the world. This guy is practically foaming at the mouth while I lean back, casually sip my coffee, and relentlessly make fun of him for constantly providing us with more material, and more reasons to make fun of Delta pilots.

Yes, keep it up 737 Pylt, the patron saint of jerk Almighty Double Breasted Delta Pilots everywhere!

In all fairness to other Delta pilots, most I've met have been really good guys. 737 Pylt/General Lee must have somehow slipped between the cracks.

I imagine most Delta pilots can't stand being associated with him and avoid flying with him whenever they can.

Yet another predictable response from the all knowing peniskramp! Shouldn't you be spending more time studying your crj manuals? After all, training isn't your strongsuit!

Yes, keep it up 737 Pylt, the patron saint of jerk Almighty Double Breasted Delta Pilots everywhere!

And from Johnny Peniskramp. The biggest loser at asa!:beer:
Thanks for making a snow day so much fun!

And in all fairness to lav cleaners, they're all very nice too. This guys not only smells like crap, he acts like it too.
I just can't imagine how this youngster has time during class to use the computer!
Now snap to it sonny, its almost time for dismissal!

Speaking from personal experience all the DL pilots I have delt with have been very nice, giving up the flightdeck js to ride the FA jump. And just today one of our own ASA cpts denied me another ASA cpt the js for 70# and left with 4 empty seats. got a trip failure. thanks again cpt of the 910am flight tys-atl on 2-22-08

Don't give this guy such a hard time. He probably has a very small weeener. That could traumatize someone for ever.

So much for looking out for our own (pilots in general) How the hell does a 70-seater go out with 4 empty seats and still leave a jumpseater at the gate?

There must have been some f'd up fuel numbers to begin with. A quick call to your DX to release 100lbs of hold fuel would have done the trick.
