Alaska Airlines Jumpseat troubles?

[SaabStory]

Good for you guys. Finally sick of getting screwed by borderline scabs? It's one thing to give bush pilots a lift and another to help those dirt bags who are driving us all into the ground. I hope that it passes with flying colors.

Crafted by a non-commuter

I think the guy that brought it up , his name is not on the document , is a commuter, but its only one leg on company aircraft or Horizon planes. He doesen't care much since his commute is basically guarenteded.

guarenteded?

No results found for guarenteded.

Did you mean guaranteed (in dictionary)

Seems like a great idea to me.

So did paying for your job. Wanker.

So did paying for your job. Wanker.

I see that his name is now in red. Perhaps he can pay $10 and get a new screen name and come back as someone who never, ever paid for his job. Then, just maybe, he can pretend that he has 1 oz of credibility.

whats the red mean?

whats the red mean?

Banned. At least for a while.

We now have over 5000 pilot resumes looking for jobs at AAY, the majority are from union carriers, so my guess is that most of these guys don't feel the same way.
