At the end of boarding they said they couldn't get everyone on because it was overweight. So me and Jetblue guy were standing at the gate and they said he gets to go. I said no, thats BS. I'm a pilot for Comair. They said no, you're just listed as a S3, he's a jumpseater, he gets to go. I wasn't listed as a jumpseater and they were going to close the flight. At this point I was a little upset, but held my cool. Anyway I tell my JetBlue buddy to talk to the CA about getting me on. I also went to check the non-rev list on travelnet and also found that an S4 had even gotten on the flight! So I just want to know when jumpseaters get priorty over non-revs. Keep in mind this guy had a seat in back.

In the end it worked out. The awesome CA raised hell and said he wasn't leaving without me, so I went out there and got on eventually. I even told the gate that they had put others ahead of me and I guess she put me on, because she had to. (she seemed ****ed)

But what a great way to have my last commute home from this place.
