Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

I think there's a difference between when there's a seat available versus a full aircraft. Are you saying RJ crews shouldn't go through the extra effort of getting you on the jumpseat if there is a weight and balance issue since we'll be inconvenienced?

Immature attitudes such as displayed by Hockeypilot are pretty rare around here. Most guys I know will do everything possible to get non-revs and OAL jumpseaters on. Yesterday I had a DAL pilot and FA both give up assigned non-rev seats and take jumpseats to get a couple of buddy pass riders on. And that was on a 4+ hour leg.

Karma.

Why did they re-release JG's announcement of the "Unable to Commute" policy? Lol. I'm sure it won't be up long, but it's there on Deltanet right now.

Maybe someone used it more than rarely in their career. :rolleyes:

Off topic. Nice=wrinkle free microfiber slacks. Very nice=wrinkle free microfiber slacks with just a little bit of elastic on each side. Kinda like toddlers pants for adults.

Maybe they should put it on In Flights page. I hear they use it quite often. :mad:

Hey Timbo,

No more Barge Inn. Last time I was downtown, it was gutted and have since heard it has been torn down. Is Sir Richard going to rebuild? Who knows.

Agreed. I've done the same on trans-cons for RJ guys. We're all just trying to get where we're going.

Hockey is NOT the norm around here. :cool:

Don't know about the pay rate. I think they are paid what they can hold.

If they can't hold it and need to fly for currency in that seat, then a trip buy is put in. The original captain is paid for the trip. So again, how are you harmed?

Apparently not harmed pay wise, but why would you do it, place a individual in a position they cannot hold and will never hold...to what end. There are pilots that can hold the aircraft and probably would be able to teach. The cost is the same.
