I've had plenty of deadheads this summer and just recently and won't forget how uncomfortable it can get back there with no air. Just sitting in those old piece of crap seats was bad enough. I had a DH just the other day and I knew it was going to be a long and uncomfortable flight when I glanced in the cockpit with the APU shut down and the PPAS book ready to go.
I had a pax b!tch at me with a few F words last night when we got into CVG late and he missed his connection. Sorry dude, can't help it coming out of JFK with a scheduled 20 minute turn to go on to CVG, which delayed another flight because this company won't switch airplanes even though there are 5 others sitting at the gate unused. I don't make up the schedule. Have a Delta Day!
