Welcome on my CRAPPY jet any time...The more the merrier
Unless your pretty picture appears in my yearbook, then we have a problem!
Heck, a ride home is a ride home. I'd be happy to double up on a jump seat as well. I think we too often get too personal with our respective legacies, and forget that so much about our airline has nothing to do with the pilots themselves. Old plane or new plane, the pilot is what makes the flight safe. But I was a bit surprised at how worn the 75s, oops, 57s were when I started deadheading on them. I'm also glad that we recently retired our last 737-500, those things had to be replaced. All NG/MAX from here on out.
If your yearbook is the one I'm thinking of, you will never find my picture. On that, we can agree 100%.
