To the AirNet Puke who stole my seat...

[HAZ-MAT]

A couple of us "AirNet Pukes" were talking about this post last night and we have an idea of who it might have been. If its who we think it is, you're kinda right, he is a tool. I have no clue on why someone would wear a pilot shirt and put brown shoes on and kahkis on too. Most of us (with a drop of common sence) have a pair of black shoes and black pants so we can look like the rest of the penguins.

So anyways, I apologize for your encounter with someone who needs a reality check big time. Also, i remember a person by the name of Terry in college and if its the same person, you were a pain in college and you're kind of living up to it again.

ACATerry,

In order for us starcheckers to narrow down to whom this individual might have been and help educate he and the rest of our group, would you be so kind as to either pm his name to me or even give me the city pairs and date that he was travelling. I am based in our headquarters in CMH and was part of the discussion the other night trying to find out who it was. Our 2 "suspects" both claim that it was not them, and I do trust their word. Thanks in advance and on behalf of our pilot group, we do apologize for the inconvenience and disruption that it may have caused.

P.S. - We do travel on green passes frequently that are provided to us by the company. They are positive space, but my knowledge is limited as to if this would count as a jumpseat used when a limited jumpseat agreement is in place.

Had a commuting experience once with a AE guy trying to get home for his first child's birth. We had already pushed and the Captain went back to get him and I gladly gave up my seat so he could get home. Captain even asked me before he went back to the gate if it was ok. I told him he didn't even have to ask. We need to get this guy home. Beside's all I had to do was cut the grass.

To this day, I'll give up my seat for anyone that is in a bind. However, don't be a tool in that regard.

OBTW, my new AE friend made the birth by 20 minutes and I'm glad to report they had a healthy 7lb 9oz baby girl.

Passes?

The funniest part about this so called Airnet guy writing a pass is that Airnet doesn't have passes or ID90's on any carriers whatsoever. Nice try.

I hope that people know that they are welcome on AirNet aircraft as long as there is a j/s agreement and there is room. I don't agree with what happend and I apologize for it. I hope after this we can all bury the hatchet.

I just don't understand this? Somebody please explain how one off-line rider stole a seat from another off-line rider? Isn't it first come, first served?

Whatever he had, it was NOT a JS form until he traded it in. After 4 yeras of commuting, I know what they look like for WN.

Please don't take my "puke" as a label on all you AirNetguys. It is a term I reserved just for this kid. I thinkyou guys are great.

USC328,
Thanks for yours and the other interest by AirNet pilots. Itjust proves what I thought all along: that this kid didn't fit theAirNet profile. I only know 6 AirNet pilots, some of wwhich werestudents of mine one time. But they, and every other AirNet pilotI met are first-class good people.

Sleepy,
We've already addressed your question and I'm too tired to explain it again. Semper Fi bro.

Those who PM'ed me:
Thanks again for your concern. The 2 who I gave descriptionsto, don't go too hard on him. Just educate him. I don'twant anyone to dread working.

It's been about a week now and I have cooled off mostly now. I'lljust close with asking everybody to be a pro in the JS issue. Look at 328 Dude's story. Its that kind of thing that makes beingan airline pilot a brotherhood (don't feel left out gals). Idon't care if you are a 500 hour FO who listens to MP3's in cruise or a10,000 hour CA who reads Geriatrics Weekly. With management, the TSA,the public and the media all on our cases about so many things, we'reall we got so let's keep it tight. (Why do I hear the Notre Damefight song in my head?).
Thanks for the replies, all. See you on my next tirade!

There's that darn word spacing problem again!

This is one reason not to live in one city and work in another half way across the country. Buy a ticket next time if you really must be at work on-time OR grow a set of balls and approach the guy at the gate to discuss "your" problem with him. I am assuming you are a man not some 10yr old girl who believes in being passive aggressive after the fact.

Why anyone would come on here to try and solve an issue that has happened in the past is beyond me, grow up.

Cheers,

Soon to be A**munch #2

Why would this dork even try to wear a "uniform"? SWA lets you jumpseat in business casual atttire.

To look cool and pick up chicks.

To look cool and pick up chicks.

All I ever got from wearing an airline uniform around in a terminal was a bunch of old lady's asking me what gate flight so and so was leaving from.

Your reply displays such an extreme of ignorance that I shouldn't even dignify you with this response. You have just insulted me and every other airline pilot who can NOT AFFORD to live in domicile. We're not all collecting a big government check you know.
I see from your profile that you are /were an army pilot. What you said is the equivalent of having the army tell you to pay for your own move every time your base changes. How would that sound to you?
I was standing 3 feet from him with this and he saw and heard it all, so approaching him and making a scene of it there would have been pointless.
And finally, PLEASE do not join the airlines until you can fit your big freakin' head through the cockpit door. This Marine would LOVE to kick your back until you fit through! And at least have SOME idea what you are talking about before you insult us all.
