Question for AA, DL, CO & UA Pilots

[Vortilon]

Banaf,

Sorry to hear you think following the rules = getting bent out of shape.

Inentionally disregarding the FOM on a non safety-of-flight issue is grounds for termination, or at the very least a hard PP slapping.

Vortilon,


Maybe you should reread my original post as you've seriously misunterpreted what I said. If anything, all I did was support sticking with the FOM...period. And, that the policy is out of our control but it is STILL THE POLICY by which we are bound.

Frankly, I have no idea where you're coming from with your comments. I'm certainly not "bent out of shape". All I meant was that line pilots have no control over their airline's JS policy and anyone who got "bent out of shape" with the captain because he wouldn't violate that policy is being irrational.

You'd think other airline pilots would already undertand this, wouldn't you ?

I notice you're a Be-1900 captain. Not Gulfstream by any chance are you? I figure you guys could afford to just buy a ticket given the fact............Ahhh never mind. We won't turn this into another PFT thread.

You are not being nice. You need to be exceptionally careful before throwing serious accusations like that out. Came up through 3 years of flight instructing to get to work at my "Son Of A Beech" company, and I am obviousouly still paying my dues.

On a lighter note : COMMON, I'm a broke B1900 Captain.....25 bucks for a pass....heck that's dinner for a week! And I'm one step higher on the ladder of misery then gulfstream....mesa.

I'm going to ponder as to what i'm going to do from here on out with mainline jumpseaters...my biggest problem is I have trouble being a big enough ahole to actually kick somebody off due to this...even I don't think I am that pissed off yet (key word). I suspect I'll just stay pissed off, and give any mainliner an earful before I tell em to sit back and enjoy the flight.

You don't read very well do you. I was making a joke and did not suggest you work for Gulfstream. I had no idea where you work. If you vent to the mainliners you'll be preaching to the choir. Give it a rest. Everyone wants unlimited jumpseats. Don't ever play politics with the jumpseat either. That will bite you in the arse.
