I’d laugh in that clown’s face. And then laugh about him with pro standards.

just ask him if he’s kicking you off. If he is then gather your crap wait for the plane to push and wait for the call and say you didn’t check in with the captain

Didn't used to be. The j/s was the only thing LUS and LAWA agreed on. Then came them DFW boys especially TW and effed it all up, because everything had to be by seniority. Because things had AAlways been this way and if they hadn't been invented here, duh! they were no good. (And you should be living in base anyway and one day you'd be senior).

What you have now is a still great system with an LAA clusterf∆ck aftertaste. Because things can never ever be great if they hadn't been invented in the mighty Different F∆(king World.

Only one weirdo CA here? What a great place! This airline must have an AAwesome contract!

I'd ask the CA on my (denied boarding) way out if he is forced to put the toilet seat down at his home. CA Tough on the road, but total pu$$y at home.

What are all the tough talkers / AA haters on here doing about getting the Jumpseat changed? I hear a lot of anger at LAA for all the stuff they screwed up. Fair enough, I’m right there with ya… I, too, loved the LUS system. Now put your money where your mouth is… volunteer for a union position, send sound offs, be vocal about getting it changed. Or else quit your complaining. It’s easy to talk tough on an anonymous Internet forum.

Several years ago I did just that. Got fed up with the way stuff was going with the Jumpseat so I volunteered and got myself on the National j/s committee. I wasn’t always able to effectuate all the changes I wanted to see but some change did happen, and I put in the hard work and many hours to help out our newly merged pilot groups.

Just a thought… Maybe some of you here should consider that too, before trashing everything LAA without doing anything to change it (except constantly complaining.)

Didn’t they agree to protecting the JS in the incomplete new contract?
