Meet The Delta Family...

Your just an F.O. You have no say who rides up front. Learn your place

As a member of the crew, I'm pretty sure the F.O. has a say in who rides up front. Maybe the F.O. doesn't have the final authority, but he can give his input. If an F.O. truly had a prob with a jumpseater, I think the captain would acquiesce. It's called CRM--learn about it.

I predict you're going to learn about it, Grasshopper.

Actually that's not true. ALPA admin manual Sec. 115 says that only people BOTH pilots are entirely comfortable with should be given the jumpseat. F/Os should speak up if they are uncomfortable with any jumpseater.

So if your F.O. says to you..."I dont like our C.E.O. because he is a tool, I dont think we should let him ride up front with us on HIS airline" you would respect your F.O.'s personal reasons in this situation?

Thats dumb and not using good judgement.

That is what we are talking about here. Not just another pilot to pilot arguement.....but a pilot to CEO arguement.

I am just calling out the pinnaco fo who thinks he has any authority in the cockpit. what a tool..yes you pinnaco fo with the avatar of PT in a clown suit. You have not ben ther long nough to have an opinion.

Should I ghetto-ize my answer to your post, or keep it legible?

An FO can throw a penalty flag any time, and if I am the captain, I will listen to every word. THAT is CRM- not acquiescence, not rule of one, but getting information.

Real scenario: AA guy wants to jump to YYZ. FO says he had a problem with it, because our airline can't go Int'l on their seats. Only the commuting FO would know this, not the FDH Cappy (wasn't me) who lives 8 minutes from base.

The guy was denied- and was extremely professional about it.

How so, his half-Windsor got stuck in your teeth?

That is actually funny.

RA actually have a very good grasp on our procedures and policies. He worked on the PRM approach procedures and a few other major programs when he was a NWA. He is not just some leader that does not know any of the skills, etc that go with your flying profession.
He even razzed the CA for no updating his heading bug. After that, I figured he read our manuals for a little light after dinner reading.

I'm just an FO too...but you can believe there are 2 F--K Sticks in this industry that will never ride on the jumpseat when I'm there.

That's funny though.....learn your place.... from a guy flying an rj with 3000 hours.

R.A. is putting up that Soviet looking Wiget on the GO. He doesn't even know why the wiget is the wiget and its colors. We are no longer the airline that CE Woolman founded, we are a just another business.

 

[Whine Lover]

"We are no longer the airline that CE Woolman founded, we are a just another business."

Bingo.

Just another once GREAT AIRLINE that is managed and run by Human Scum... Choads that are not fit to be used for Soylent Green.

Delta, may you R.I.P.

You were the airline of my choice for so many years.

Sadly, no longer.

Didn't the employees share $900M to make the merger go through? A lump sum check equal to your annual earnings or something like that? Would be great to get something like that in this economy. That's an employee group that has some leverage. Nice.

Sorry, ACL, but RA is the second worse thing that has happened to this airline after Leo. He is all about the money and the power. He doesn't give a d@mn about us or the long term viability of this company!

It's sad that all of the NWA leadership style seems to have found its way over here. I predict we are heading into the worst employee morale since the Ron Allen "Leadership 7.5" days. This had been a takeover by NWA of Delta, not the other way around!

Hey Captain Boobs-

Who do you work for? I find it pretty hard to believe that you are in the left seat of anything, and certainly not 'here, this company, us, or we', re. Delta.

You caught me. I'm no longer captain. But since your opinion is meaningless to me (and most other people forced to hear you) I'm going to leave it as it is in my profile.

The one that you need to worry about is not RA, but the gentleman from Ford and Harris.
RA is a lawyer and a business man. Forget that and you will be reminded quite quickly. My point was that he is more in tune to the operations side than most "money" type CEO's.

I am a strong believer that to have a truly successful company it needs to be run by an "Operations" type person. With the greed of the money men as of late, we may get to see that in our time here. Look at all of the truly successful companies. Operations type people are at the helm.

I guess the tens of millions he is milking from a failing company are not really important to him..... Operations is what it is all about!

-Perhaps he will be sending you one of those "don't be shy about going thru your neighbor's trash" memos, soon-eh? Just operations.... Nothing personal.

The NWA mgmt team strikes again!

BTW-How ARE those INTL routes doing, Mr ACL65?
