Yep, the East, real professional. The BDL plane that got stuck in the mud. The pilot that shot his plane. East captain that shoved a west gate agent because she had an ALPA lanyard on. East pilots activating the Critical Response committee after the Nicolau award was announced. East jets taking off without enough fuel. Don't get on your high horse about professionalism when compared to the West. We never lost a passenger due to an accident, we never crashed a plane. We had the best safety record in the industry.

Funny thing is, we hear from our OAL buddies that East guys are getting denied seats by ALPA pilots at other carriers.

I carried East pilots on my jumpseat for the last 21 years. But there have been some unprofessional actions by some of your East buddies on our West jumpseats, enough so that most guys would rather not take a chance on having some jerk rag on you at FL 350. Both pilots right now decide whether an East guy rides. If one guy is uncomfortable, then the jumpseat is denied. That is crew coordination and a safety first attitude.
