No one should volunteer for the jumpseat and bump someone who is trying to get to/from work, the company makes taking from the pilots a game, and pushes to see how far they can push. I see no reason to help them out and bump someone else, they should learn not to oversell that far.
In Canada is seems you guys also get treated much better than down here.
No worries, I wasn't actually directing that at you. I was directing it more toward the tools in your guys posts-the FAA examiner, the pilots who show the gate agents attitude. Etc. Sorry if I was unclear...does that make me a tool? :\
I wouldn't necessarily say that, Lol. The only bright shining star in Canada is WestJet, where things seem to be going downhill. AC is a worse mess then Delta, AA, and United put together.
