Was deadheading back to base to catch the last possible commute home. i walk on the UsAirways Airbus and go directly to the flightdeck to say hello and introduce myself to the Cap and F/o mainly to see what time they thought we would arrive cause i was scared i wouldnt make my commute and to see if they thought id make it. as i walk out of the cockpit this *** F/A grabs my shoulder and pulls me towards the galley where pax cant see me and says in an extremely ****ed off/arrogant/*** tone "It is Usairways company policy to show your badge to ME the F/A before EVER entering the cockpit! you MUST show me your badge and i will give it to the captain and THAN you can go see him. but otherwise YOU NEVER just WALKKKK yourself into the flightdeck that is completely unacceptable!!" --F/A Tool of the Day...

PS On the flip side i nominate the Captain and F/O for the COOL OF THE DAY. as soon as i step in they were very very nice and chatty i told them i didn't think id make my commute. The captain then says with a smile don't worry son you'll get there on time we got some extra fuel on board today. the F/O then asked me what the flight number was so he could call ops before they landed to tell them that i was on my way to my commute and to try not to leave without me. freaking awesome guys.
