Now that flight attendants are bypassing security through KCM I want them in the flight deck even less.

If you don't take the FA Jumpseat to get an offline guy on up front, you're a word way worse than jerk.

Honestly, Compass should clarify that their FA Jumpseat is only for Compass Employee use and save us all the ambiguity about it. If its not expressly permitted by their FOM, it's a violation waiting to happen. Careful about using the Captain's Authority or an Authorized Variance excuse argument with an angry Fed.

And before you think I'm nuts, I commute - and not on mainline.

They're not using KCM yet and they can't sit on the flight deck.

Dear AFA: October 02, 2012

Really? I think they are. (Just a quick google search)

I saw several FA's use the KCM checkpoint in pit last week

You couldn't be more wrong with your assumptions of my time in the military. A quick research of my historical posts would show you I left for Afghanistan in May. I just recently returned on Sep. 30th. While serving as a Commander of a unit on a Forward Operating Base (FOB) in eastern Afghanistan, I can guarantee you I wouldn't have put up with any sniveling pansies like yourself.

In addition to my duties as a Commander, I lost a good friend, killed by a suicide bomber while participating in a Key Leader Engagement on Aug. 8th. So please stop with the "BS" about how your generation had it so much more difficult in the military/airline (Air Line in the case of Delta) industry than the junior guys who should feel "lucky to have a job" with Ma' Delta.


Clueless, and one of the most ignorant statements I've ever read on this forum. A Medal of Honor recipient "just doing his job"?

Again, disgusted at your ignorance, but let me briefly explain. My award packet at this time is being forwarded to the Expeditionary Operations Group for consideration of the Bronze Star for my efforts, and accomplishments while forward-deployed to a combat zone.

I am truly sorry that your time and efforts in the military failed to allow you the opportunity to receive such an award, but don't take it out on your ignorant assumptions of my duty.

Me go back to serving my country? How about still serving my country, and continually depressed at having to deal with "sheep" like you at the company.


That's all. Fly safe,

Utterly disgusting that you would co-opt a Medal of Honor recipient to try and further a point of view that has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with our nations highest military citation.

It's hyperbole and not appreciated. I won't ask Sgt. Meyer, but from my perspective it is insulting to even attempt to use his status for your personal advantage.

need quick help-- how do I get jumpseat /non-rev info for a United flight? Never jumped on them before, and the cust service guy I called at their normal # had no idea what I was talking about?
Thanks

just walk up to the gate first come first serve after online guys. At least thats my experience commuting on mostly previous CAL planes.

United non-rev reservations 866-359-3727 was able to give me a good idea about loads. The computer warns that you will be charged to book with a live agent but I didn't book... just got the info and got out. List at the gate.

But he's up for the bronze star...

Like I said - he was only doing his job. As only a hero and recipient of the Medal of Honor can.
