From a fellow waterskier. Pass it on!
"I was trying to get back to St. Louis the other day, and all the flights were oversold. When I checked in at the gate I found that there was a Shuttle America guy signed up before me, its okay because there were two jumpseats. After I signed up I was waiting around the gate area and this guy comes walking up to me and starts talking. He is in jeans and toting a flight kit on his suitcase, so I cleverly deduce that he could be a pilot. But I didn't see an ID or even a Flightsafety tag on his bag. He was incognito.
He begins by commenting how bad the loads are today, he has already missed the two previous flights. Shortly into the conversation I ask him who he flys for. He pauses, his eyes drop to the floor, and he quietly says "HoJet". What a surprise! (sarcasm here) I just say, "Oh". I spend the next couple minutes letting him know that I think he is a piece of crap, as nice as I canwithout getting in trouble because I'm in uniform in the gate area.
After a few minutes he informs me that he is on a pass and since I am just a jumpseater, he will make it on the flight before me. I leave to go find the other pilot signed up for the jumpseat. I find him and we start talking about the weasel in our midst, and the Shuttle guy says that they had a similar conversation. Their conversation ended much the same with the HoJet guy saying he would probably make it on first.
Well as boarding starts to wind down, the agent begins calling standby passengers to the gate. Once this begins, since we were the only jumpseaters, we go down the jetbridge. As I hand my jumpseat form to the agent, I look and see the HoJet guy looking my way with a look of dismay, wondering why I'm going down and he's not. I give him a sh*t eating grin, a wave, and down I go.
The HoJet guy never made it on the flight. There were only two flights left that day and since he was in jeans, I don't see him getting into the cockpit on either one.
It is just proof that every so often, those whores actually get what they deserve. If any HoJet management people are reading this, if you had an FO call in sick Monday morning and he lives in Florida, he wasn't really sick, he's just stupid. Fire him."
