If it clears things up any, I am at a different airline now than ACA (best of luck to you guys). I won't get all wrapped up in whose fault it is that we only have a 2 seat-limit relationship with WN, but I will say it is NOT WN's fault.
This kid had a pass of some sort, maybe even a real ticket, but it sure as heck was not a JS pass. The gate agent went by the check-in time of the pass the kid arrived with not the time of the JS list sign in. I don't know enough about the WN policy on this, nor do I think it is my place to comment on it, especially b/c the gate agent was doing his best to get me on, somehow.
I have been refused JS on Airnet both times I attempted in the past b/c "there was not enough room for a J/S-er". (And that was before I got fat!) I have no hard feelings about this b/c except for this kid, I have found EVERY AirNet pilot I ever met to be the kind of guy you want to have a beer with. I have no idea the snowjob he pulled to work there. But he does not fit their profile.
He had to know what he did b/c he avoided eye contact like I was a shark that had frickin lasers on my fricking head.
Anyway, I am ticked at this guy, but those of you who know me, you know how I like to explode for fun in here and get some laughs out of it. I call people names but we all know eachother usually. But overall, seriously, I still will remember this guy and he will pay.
Whoever said the remarks about commuters feeling entitled to a JS b/c they commute: I hope you too feel the pain of needing it one day. With the krap the airlines pay, and the way domiciles close, it's not a choice but a necessity for many of us. Perhaps you were blessed with enough money to live in domicile or got lucky enough to get hired into where you live, but not everyone has such luck.
Anyway, I'll just leave it at this: what he did was wrong. If his AirNet brethren see this thread, I am sure they will spread the word around the company about professional jumpseat etiquette and courtesies. After all, until this puke, I never met an AirNetter who was not a top-notch likeable guy. Perhaps he will be policed by his own.
