All I could think about watching them was, man they're gonna be some boy's nightmare someday....very high on the crazy/good looking scale indeed.

Classy post, Got it.
Must feel good talking down to people that make 1/8th of what you do, with the exact same qualifications.

) You clearly have no business swinging gear in a mainline A/C. I thought I must have misinterpreted his post. Guess not. Yeah I guess some just feel they have it and deserve it, others don’t. Luckily most don’t have such DB outlooks.

Somebody get the backhoe for TankerDriver...
He needs help digging himself a bigger hole.
The fact of the matter is that all of the employees of this corporation, which includes AAL and the wholly owned Eagle carriers are viewed equally by the corporation when it comes to travel benefits. It’s been this way since since the late 80’s when AMR bought their commuter airlines and brought them in-house.
There is no entitlement when it comes to travel passes here. A new hire Envoy, PSA, or Piedmont FO with his spouse or companion will trump the number 1 pilot at AAL if he checks in sooner. It is what it is, and always will be.
Maybe your wife should’ve listed D1 and ensured she got on the list at the first possible second, Tanker. Regardless, your argument falls on deaf ears.

I'd like to say they were having a bad day, but we witnessed it two days in a row from the same people, both with us and others. My wife speaks fluent Spanish, so there definitely wasn't a language barrier. The operation there seemed to be dysfuntional and they are short with everyone. Of course as a nonrever I had to shut up and color in fear I wouldn't get a seat assignment, but if I had been on a paid ticket, I would have let one particular agent have it good for his behavior. Anyone else have that experience there?
