Is the Bush Company still open in ANC?

Last time I was there in 09 it was. What a hit or miss place, I bragged about it to one of my loadmasters who hadn't been there before. We went and it looked like the D team was on. It was a Monday night however.

We need to get the Japanese to discover micro-brewing! That Soporo, Kirin, and Asahi crap is just rice flavored water. Do they not know how to grow hopps in Japan?

They're better when you drop a shot of Sake into them. Kampai!!!!

I've heard this exact same thing verbally from my union reps and my other DALPA acquaintances...despite the fact that it's a lie. They DO NOT get "me too" on everything as you state above. It's entirely discretionary on management's part.

If you had worked for Delta as long as I have you would not even question it.

Again, you're not listening. I'm not saying it doesn't exist. I'm saying its not in writing anywhere. It's in nobody's contract. It's completely discretionary on the part of management. Yet you and union folks use this as a defense as to why our expectations need to be adjusted downward. Why you do that is the question, and one you continue to run from.

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.

This is why I stopped sitting in the flight attendant jumpseat so a DCI pilot can sit in my reserved jumpseat. No hard feelings. I have showed up to an earlier Delta flight numerous times right at 15 minutes to have found out a DCI pilot has the jumpseat, then watched the flight leave full with me at the gate. A couple times, the pilot had not even boarded yet. I was told, "no hard feelings" just like you were. Now, I just laugh when they ask me to inconvenience myself so they can get on. I treat jumpseaters on my flights very well, but the days of inconveniencing myself are over.

Hopefully not all DCI's. I may be wrong but I think this order is only at Skywest and that's because of our contract with them different from other DCI's.
