I hope they're Cheetos!!:o

Our SCP did say the 777 guys are the big dogs now. They appear to be a coddled group that expects extra privileges. I predict they will be allowed to get away with this.

At least until the backlash from other crewmembers gets too much. But be careful. I'm sure they can't take their own medicine and will run to the ACPs for assistance.

Maybe they will be calmer once the company purchases the noise attenuating headsets for the 777's that they are currently considering.

It is not like we have ever had another loud airplane on the property before the 777. :rolleyes:

Looks like a widebody, it should pay llike a widebody. Not a penny more.

Exactly. The would be the only ones getting them.

Just curious how you know it was the Captain that objected to the extra guy? Many times in the past it was the F/O, RF2 or RFO. I would guess it would be best if all members of the crew are contacted prior to tying to jumpseat with a double crew.

Sound to me that some crewmembers have very little consideration for the working crewmembers. I would never even consider trying to ride on a double crew aircraft, but then I've been around long enough to know better.:D

Last time I checked that was the Captain's responsibility.:eek:

Perhaps, but it's a good captain who discusses these types of issues with his or her crew, before making his decision.

Yah sure thats all good and CRM'EE, but if a FedEx pilot is denied a jumpseat on my plane its NOT the F/o's decision. Maybe you weren't around for the last round of jumpseat denial issues, but there weren't any F/O's or RFO's called in to talk to the VP Ops and CP.

Now I have really heard it all! FH lecturing anyone about about being considerate to others. So it's OK to demand you get an extra 5 years at the top after a full career, delaying others careers by those same 5 years, causing some to lose homes and families, and suffer great financial distress, but you would never jumpseat on a double crew aircraft? Save us any of your lectures about being considerate FH, you and your APAAD brethren proved long ago that greed is what drives you, not consideration for others.

True, but it is also the good captain that would take the time to explain to the concerned f/o or rfo the importance of helping fellow crew members. Guess I have been lucky and haven't had a single f/o or RFO have an issue with a fellow pilot jumpseating.
