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. ;)

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 :eek:

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.

WHAT!
 
Just woke up and cleared the mountain of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale bottles (because drinking this holy nectar from a can is just wrong) and noticed someone said AE. What AE?

Are the results out yet? :)

I just gave my dog some of my Ranger IPA in his bowl. He's a big fan and kept on checking his bowl for more after he cleaned it out. Then stumbled around a bit, told me "you're like... my best friend, man... I love you, man!", and now he's passed out.

He won't live long enough for it to harm his liver, but it may affect his family life.


...and Sierra Nevada comes in a can? Never seen that one before.

Skywest owns Express Jet (formerly called ASA), so as a wholly owned they probably get priority over you.

Lest anyone forget, we ALL are!

I was delighted to hear I'm in the generation of fulfilled promises, just like the early 90 guys. I dodged a bullet there!

I do have a question about IPA's (which prove the existence of something greater than ourselves): if you're buying a case for yourself, do you set a few aside for the Flight Attendants, or does the company buy them the IPA, and payroll deduct us?

And get a freaking haircut.

I have run into this a few times over the years and I just use the possession is nine tenths of the law rule. Just get in and don't get out.
