I am starting to wonder if being completely unprofessional is a requirement to be a Delta gate agent. News flash!! Just because you are having a bad day doesn't give you the right to be a total b@#ch! I'm just trying to get to work. For the record my cockpit doors are always open to my fellow pilots.michael707767 said:Gate agents can be real pricks. I have witnessed that myself, picking up the paperwork and watching as an agent happily tells some pilot the jumpeat is already taken. I intervened in that case, asked our online pilot to non rev in back and got the offline pilot on the jumpseat, which seemed to piss off the agent. Have to say I enjoyed pissing off that agent.
I would not bet on Delta getting more jumpseat access though. Management is actually asking for the opposite, they want to get rid of the jumpseat for offline pilots, or something to that effect.
