Asked to go to Paris once from MEM, where I would then be the RFO for the same crew. Capt said "no"....he had given permission to one JS and didn't want another.

Flew with a very gracious 777 crew on same date/city pair and enjoyed the ride.

It was the captain's call, and his right. That said...he is retired, and I don't miss him, nor does anyone I've ever given the name.

If you need a ride around Asia on my flights...welcome aboard. Sorry about the ****ter door, but I'll take as a many as want to go along...
