The OP, just my way of agreeing with you.

Good to know. Thanks

Commuting is a choice. Move to base or pick another airline to ride to work for free on, Frontier boy. You threat of a jumpseat war is laughable because very few Delta pilots would ever have a reason to jumpseat on your garbage airline.

Typical Delta pilot attitude. Grow up, Lots of commuters these days for all airlines. Some day you might need their help.

Are you not a Delta Pilot? Do you also include yourself in this proclamation?

Also, I live in base, as all pilots should, and as our company recommends. I will never commute, and if I want to go somewhere, I can afford to buy a ticket. I don't need anyone's "help", and I'll decide if I want to let them ride MY jumpseat.

What I won't be doing is ordering gate agents to remove a paying passenger, in a payload optimized situation, to get an OAL pilot a free ride. I wouldn't recommend that unless you like visits to the CPO on your off day, and unpaid time off work.

LIke I said typical Delta pilot attitude. I will and do go out of my way to make sure all jumpseaters and non-revs get on board. Maybe someday your family will appreciate it.

I mean, if someone got all indignant that I wouldn't kick off a paying pax to accomadate an offline JSers, I can understand the attitude.

The vast majority of Delta pilots do exactly the same. I commuted almost my entire career. Trust me on this, there are pilots at every airline who are to lazy to make the effort. I don't know any pilots however who are going to boot a revenue passenger to get a jumpseater onboard. I also as a jumpseater would never ask or even hint that a CA do that.

You must be new here, I see you've just met NB.

Honestly at this point I think he's just a troll account. No real person could be as big an ******* as he is.

Nah, that attitude represents a very small minority of our pilots. Delta has the fewest pilot bases of the big 4, and quite likely the highest commuter rate of the big 4. Plenty of Delta pilots, myself included, rely on other carriers often to jumpseat to/from work. I recognize the importance of the jumpseat and do everything in my power to get jumpseaters and non-revs on.

That said, I would never bump a paying passenger to accommodate a jumpseater or non-rev. I’ve done just about everything else, short of that extreme, to accommodate jumpseaters and non-revs.
