He'd jumpseat on NW's w/b's to MSP for lunch and back for dinner. Big plus was he was really into Asian women so he was on the prowl with the NW F/A's while jumpseating.

He'd j/s over to Bangkok for....hmmmm....yes. Once he was in Athens and going to BKK. Simple, get to FRA and then do FRA-BKK. Oh no...that had an ID90 charge. He could jumpseat, for free, FRA-MSP-NRT-BKK to save the FRA-BKK ID90 charges.

Funny part was another FO said he was going to go to BKK with FO Cheapskate. Cheapskate was after cheap.....yes.... in BKK. The other FO wasn't into girls. That really had us confused. Talk about the odd couple.
