Really? I had an AWA pilot do the exact same thing on the jumpseat from PHX to CLT years back. Did your guy ask where he could get his 747 manuals too? That seemed to really knock you guys for a loop. I had a UA pilot tell me that I could have never been hired at UA and would always be "acquired". Had another UA, CAPTAIN BY GOD, whine because I gave the freight guy that was there first the jumpseat. CAPTAIN MARV said he deserved it more. What does all of this tell us? There are tools at every airline.
Congrats on your contract and for CO guys, good luck on your SLI, as you will never be seen as worthy as the Marvin Mainliners. I think it is time for me to head on over to the UA/CO board and spread a little holiday cheer.
