The Pike Place Brewery has excellent beer! I do miss Humpeys and the Alaskan Amber in ANC. Has anyone else heard of the Find Craft Brew APP for your smart phone? Flew with a Capt that showed me. It's awesome. No more asking the van driver where to get a good beer.

Do they have something in their contract that says no sharing the van? I remember American had that and would try to enforce it. As far as I am concerned, when standing out at the curb with your crew after calling the van and it arrives and they're not out by the curb, [edit] off about your van. if you're nice we may be willing to share the van with you.

And get a freaking haircut.

...to an insular, abuse-ridden MEC which doubles as the company's talking-point generator.
...to the FPL-collecting leeches hiding behind an opaque and corrupt expensing system designed to protect those who abuse and plunder it.
...to the regional pilot groups who grew by leaps and bounds at our expense.
...to the FAs who gained access to KCM with the resources of "our" union.
...to the same FAs who, by "our" union's own admission, bleed our negotiating capital before we even sit down at the the table.

Feel free to add to the list.
And putting them where would have done what? You have plenty of ideas for what went wrong, but your argument for what could have gone right isn't "factual". Since apparently we only deal in facts here, misconstrued and misrepresented as they may be.

And as for FPL - how would you suggest ALPA volunteers be rewarded for their service? You may think they're all idiots, but some of them are most likely nearly as smart as you. How would you like to be taken care of by your constituents while you rammed constructive engagement up the company's bum bum, and bankrupt the bargaining agent in a series of high profile work action lawsuits?

Opinions are like...nevermind.

And the broken promise generation is any pilot hired between 2001 and 2008.

What, pray tell, does being a fine member of the broken promise generation entail?

That must make you a 2010 hire.

Stagnation mostly. Repeated promises of growth, hiring, retirements, and otherwise good things for your career being ripped away by words like "should" or "may".

That makes me a 2010 hire indeed. I'm just lucky to have a job, sir.

Default DCI Jumpseat question

DCI jumpseat question for Skywest.

So I was trying to jumpseat on Skywest last night on a Delta Connection flight. This was on a 50 seat RJ that was oversold. I checked in 50 min prior and was told I would be on the jumpseat, but I had to wait for my boarding pass. After last call I still did not have the boarding pass and was talking with an Express Jet guy who was also trying to get on. The gate agent told us to wait and then took his ID and gave him the jumpseat

He smiled and said no hard feelings and got on the jet. So my question is I thought the order was Skywest, DAL, and then OAL. If this is the case, who should I be contacting?

On a good note, SWA came through again for me I just had to wait 3 hrs for the flight.
