I knew queers were working in the galley, but when did they start letting them in the cockpit

Actually I've worked with a few up front! And the 2 I've worked with were great pilots and good employees. What's you point????

Just remember that you company guys are hated by a large number. You might think your doing something cool or hero like but your out numbered.

If you say so.... When union rampers from all walks of life for various airlines, from pax being able to make their quick connections, saying thanks, I will do what I do to help out EVERYTIME over saying "it's not my job". Funny how I keep getting thanks from IAH rampers for helping out and even reporting delays on the ramp when they are short staffed. Go figure.

I can live with myself helping out and many of here at Skywest would do the same (maybe not ride a belt loader up to the jetway). My helping doesn't hurt my paycheck in anyway. If we are delayed by ramp staffing, we put it, and maybe that will help one day.
 
If I was this guy, I would save the Youtube page and bring it to my next interview to answer the question, "what would you do if a flight was behind," or "what have you done to go the extra mile in your job,"... He could possibly get that job, and the rest of you, will still be sitting in your underwear in your parent's basement cracking jokes.

if this guy did this every leg? Yeah, that might be a problem, he could be neglecting his primary job if he's always throwing bags. But to those who are ridiculing him, how do you the flight wasn't late inbound? How do you know he didn't have passengers that had tight connections, perhaps tight schedules and needed their bags. This guy, in their view, was going the the extra mile. These passengers, could send in emails to United and/or Skywest thanking them for their service. Those passengers, do indeed pay your paychecks afterall.

I no longer work for SkyWest, but I did time to time grab a bag, a stroller, or help a passenger in need. The company I work for now, looks for people like that... as does JetBlue, Southwest, Virgin America, CAL, UAL, etc.

Don't like what he's doing? Fine. Ridiculing him on the net for trying to get a job done? Embarrassing. I've read this whole thread, and can't believe some of the posts on here.. I sincerely hope none of you end up in my right seat with those attitudes.
 
If you're injured acting outside the scope of your employment, you're going to be in for a world of hurt. If our hero had fallen off that belt loader and shattered his ankle, he most likely would not be eligible for worker's compensation for his injury.
