Hey Positive Space riders!!!

[Max Q]

Right, because leaving a pilot behind has never inconvenienced any passengers, ever.

FO's Only???

Only FOs...

What he's saying is dead headers have pos space seats and so do rev pax. Let a guy trying to get to work have the jump seat and let the agent deal with the over- sold flight. It's a matter of courtesy to our fellow pilots, not entitlement.

I'm two generations ahead of most of these guys, and a commuter, and appreciate a fellow pilot who looks out for the rest.

Maybe you're not a commuter and arent used to thinking about the other guy trying to get to work.

Actually I think he is talking about "standby revenue" passengers that often show up for an earlier flight because meeting, ect finished early.

I have and am a commuter, 14 years worth. I have seen it all and have been both helped out and screwed over. But I will never forget that the only entitlement I have is an open seat when ALL revenue seats have been filled.

Because of the 14 years of commuting I can't stand hearing others who have made the choice to commute that they somehow deserve a seat to get to work or get home...

If I'm deadheading or being sent somewhere positive space, I am entitled to seat. Not only that, it's either an aisle seat or the first 1st/business class seat available after all revenue pax. It says it right in my contract and as such it's part of my compensation. I'm not giving it up so the CSAs can get another paying pax on.

Airlines should allow us to live where we want and positive space us to and from work.

Toss that across the negotiating table after they ask for pay concessions.

That's called Netjets.

That's called Netjets.

Never heard of them.

To those that won't give up a seat what if the pax had an emergency? Would you give it up then? I wouldn't give up a positive seat to ride bitch upfront. But if they had a death in the family or something I probably would help.

 

[SplitBar]

That's called Netjets.

Tell that to the hundreds of pilots they have laid off.

Those who have been involuntarily displaced 2-3 times probably aren't "choosing to commute". Just saying.

 

[wms]

Ditto. If I had lived in base I would've uprooted my family four times. Better I commute than do that to my family.

...we're working on it. Hang in there. We got a clown running the show and its about to implode on him.

 

[PBRstreetgang]

ride bitch upfront.

Because that's how you roll.........

According to some airline management types and consultants, due to the projected increases in airline flights and operations etc, this will be common practice sometime in the future (5-10 yrs?).
