Imagine that, a United crew member acting like a Richard Cranium! Go figure1

Considering the number of UAL crewmembers with your background, and were likely your squadron mates, it shouldn't surprise you at all. Just look in the mirror Richard.
 
It would be great, if we could all get unlimited j/s agrements, but sadly, those above us, in many cases, uses it as a contract tool, read concession in other areas. There are those airlines, who charges their own to nonrev travel.

The system is not perfect, but perhaps we can all endeavour to make it better. I j/s on UAL all the time, never have a problem with gate or crew, always feel welcome. Same goes for ATA, a truly great bunch of people. As a matter of fact, never did have any probelms jumpseating, other than the number of jumpseaters allowed or flights oversold (post9-11)

So, lets keep the snide remarks to a min. and just try, however we can, to make the system work better. If history is any guide,
the new system will be a pain in the rear in the beginning.

At the end of the day, I am happy to take as many, as there are seats. I know all they want to do is go to work or better yet, home.

And to all those who gave me a ride, Thanks, I sure appreciate it.

just to be clear, i'm not knocking UAL guys at all. every time i've got a ride from them it has been fantastic. awesome crews, and they do their best running a great airline.

what bugs me is the mentality that, "well, even if we wanted to expand the OMC program, there's just too many hurdles to make it happen." shenanigans!!!

hanging on to the old "we can't" mentality will eventually sink you.
