BTW I could care less what I fly, I only care about the paycheck and my days off, if a C152 got me 15 days off and 150K id do it.
Unfortunately I fought many times for a jumseat that was rightfully mine from a UA pilot, over and over and over again, and to this day I am still not listed properly on the jumpseat. I am saying that many guys took it in the shorts when the pass travel was "revamped". Personally I think its BS that an active pilot, UA or UAX, should be put behind so many people, but I just dont care anymore. As for how you're wife is listed perhaps it is the carrier she flies for? It seems my company has made it a priority to get our end fixed, I am never listed out of priority, and would not be comfortable snaking on a plane or pulling the old UA pilot running down the jetbridge screaming "im mainline my jumpseat" like some of you're "coworkers". Ill take what I am supposed to get and to hell with the rest.
No, my young friend, I will not PM you because after I'm done typing this, I'm done wasting my time with you. I posted a factual warning to our United pilots on here to watch that they are getting their rightful seats on our planes. YOU responded like a juvenile snot, which is why I called you such. If you disagree, go back and read the derogatory things you wrote about wives, cleaning ladies, etc. Your carrier has absolutely zero control over how this works. It's a United res system, and the problem and solution lies with them. So your company did not "make it a priority to fix" anything. The simple fact it, it's broken, it was supposed to be fixed a year and a half ago, and it's still not working. You're darned tooting that I'm on a crusade to fix it, as I am to defend ALL my contractual rights. The difference is, MY crusade doesn't involve attempting to punish the United Express employees unlike the childish, moronic, and totally misdirected United Express Jumpseat threat I ensured a couple of years ago.
I'm aware of the crap that United is pulling to generate more revenue on the backs of UAX employees. Unfortunately that's what happens when you fly for somebody else's paint job. If it makes you feel better, we deal with the same type of crap on a daily basis with our management trying to ignore the contract they signed.
I'm not going to respond to you again. I don't care what you think in even the furthest reaches of my brain. I treat express pilots with respect, professionalism, and courtesy.... until their sense of entitlement overwhelms their sense of better judgment and they write something like you did
