PS: The FA's found out yesterday that we (AA pilots) now have a dhd policy not tied to them or first come first served.

They are very mad. They are mad at APFA, the Company, USAir and us.

All I ever wanted was a dhd policy not tied to anyone elses drama.

Finnally! But, I imagine they will begin to take it out on us.

Last week on the way to Buenos Aires I was FO and i'm always in the bunk unless it's a daytime flight or coming home form London. Well, FA's never asked any of us, they took our 1st class rest seat on the 777. I didn't notice until the Capt asked me. None of us ever were asked if they could use it.

This is a classic example of the attitude the AA FA's display on long haul.
The FA's by using the pilot rest seat can take longer breaks. They almost always ask if they can use the seat. They probably think it's theirs by now.

Additionally i'm in GRU Sao paulo where we've had male FA's in January this year and again earlier this month get caught smuggling IPHONES into Brazil. One was released form jail last week, the other I saw last night at our hotel. They have not given him his Passport back. Must have a poor attorney.

So on the way down the other night, we were expecting a possible strip search. When we went thru the xray machine in GRU yesterday morning, the head honcho was eyeballing us. But we didn't get searched.

This has been going on for more than a decade that I know of.

I say FIRE the bad AA FA's.

Occasionally i'll fly a LAX transcon on the 777 even then I get some uneasy attitude from the FA's. they run to the front desk at hotel to get the best rooms.

For years we've been trying to get (if the cabin jumpseat is not used by a commuting FA) could we put a pilot in it. The APFA says NO, it is there Jumpseat.

I strongly hope that USAir doesn't put up with AA FA STUFF!
