After all, the thing looks like a bloated 737 and pays like an Airbus flying to Ottawa. What is the big deal? Let'em ride!

I make those passive aggressive 777 guys ride a different crew bus.

Sooooo, let me get this right. You have a seat in the front, a seat in the back and a bunk...

Thats a good reason to leave one of our own behind half way round the world. I'd hate for you to be uncomfortable.

It comes with that ultra secret lanyard cutting ritual where they cut the old lanyard and issue that really cool 777 lanyard! Here is a short clip of part of that secret ceremony snuck out and made public by a former 777 standards guy, who has been banned from all 777 jumpseats ever since.

He is not acting in accordance with his responsibilities as a member of the FedEx crew force, ALPA's jump seat policy, Standards, and what is generally called the "reasonable man theory." Is it legal? that's a question for the ALPA lawyers and Pro-STans. Is it FUBAR, you bet! What a tool this guy is.

Completely indefensible and another shameful example of the lack of unity in this crew force!!!!!

I find it hilarious that guys would have a holier than thou attitude because they are flying a 777. Do these guys think they are the first crews to ever operate a big foot?

I flew/taught/ checked on the 777 for 7 years and my company was the launch customer for the 777, SO WHAT!!. I've never once felt the need to cop an attitude over it. The only D-bags we have on 777 are the scabs that are now flying them and they are D-bags no matter what they're flying. From what I'm reading there is some serious scab type behavior going on in the 777 fleet at FDX...

Captain Denial, D-bag extraordinaire, owes the pilot he smoked $1100.00 cash immediately IMO.

I can't even believe I'm reading this right! He left one of his own on the dock because he was worried about a non existent comfort issue? YHGTFSM!!

You guys know you're making up about 90% of this, right?

You've got one report of a guy getting refused a jumpseat.

Hoss you don't know what a scab is, and you're an embarrassment.

Well, if only 10% of this is true...it's a disgrace. Unbelievable! And the "Captain" with the lack of common sense and decency needs to be counseled. He is clearly in need of an education...tool!

This isn't in any way acceptable nor is it the norm for all of you Non-FDX guys out there looking in on this.

We go out of our way to make sure everyone is accomodated on the J/S. This guy is a rare exception and is an embarrassment that we will deal with in house.

It is more than one - this is just the latest example!
