He should be grateful for getting the toilet for a seat flying on a buddy pass. That’s just to funny!

Woooow.

Another good reason not to give out your buddy passes....

Am I the only one who thinks this guy has done nothing wrong? Buddy pass or not you cant make someone sit the lav. Especially if the seat belt sign really did come on!

In any event, once the seat belt sign came on, the aisle donkey should have gone back to her jumpseat and they should have let the non-rev back into the seat.

This guy was put into danger by the flight crew. Period. He should sue the pants off JetBlue. And diciplinary action should be taken for the entire flight crew. A buddy pass has nothing to do with it.

I agree it was handled pretty poorly. But the fact is the guy was not harmed and and in the end, he got to travel across the country on a buddy pass. Quit clogging up the courts with frivolous get-rich-quick lawsuits. He should be sacked with JB's attorney fees.

No. But you probably are the only one that thinks he is telling the truth.

Do you actually believe the captain of the flight would come back in the middle of the flight to ask the buddy pass guy to move???!!! Come on! I find that hard to believe.

None of facts in this article sound legitimate, although I could be wrong but....

This sounds like the guy is just begging for publicity and hoping for a lawsuit and a quick cash settlement.

That dude should be happy he got a seat!!!!

 

[CopilotDoug]

Why'd the F/A REALLY have to leave the cockpit???

I hope you're being facetious. Non-revving is one of our benefits. That means if we don't have them (the benefits), they need to pay us more to compensate. If you think he's lucky to sit on the crapper, your attitude is going to hurt everyone in the long run.

Let's not forget, the guy PAID for his buddy pass. Probably 200 bucks the way they've hiked up the costs. I'm sure the captain would love if one of his friends got placed on the crapper when he gave him a buddy pass. That is, if what the media says is true. Which I don't think is the case anyway.

I want to hear the pilot's end of the story. No offense, but I think I would put more stock in the captain's point of view than a dude traveling on a buddy pass.

The thing that pisses me off is that this is probably going to end up limiting our travel benefits somehow.

Filing a lawsuit is a great way to END buddy passes for everyone.

I agree. That's why I said:

"That is, if what the media says is true. Which I don't think is the case anyway."

I find it really hard to believe that a pilot would do something like that, because he/she likely knows better.

 

[CRJ puppy]

I just love this concept!

Fly on a buddy pass and then be unwilling to assist the flight crew and then sue the company because I didn't like my seat/didn't want to help out for an hour, etc.

PRICELESS.

On a side note, does anyone have a couple of buddy passes they could give me to fly on your airline?

Thanks!

:nuts:

I have to agree with wlacy, here. Think about it.

Yea I'm guessing who ever gave him that buddy pass has lost his/her travel privliges
