So maybe the old saying is true. If after three days you can't tell who this arse whole is in the group, maybe it's you....
I'm not a cockpit reader, I never have been, but don't care if anyone does it. However, many years ago I was taught how to have reading approved in the cockpit...

Pull out a porn mag, put it on the center console, when he picks it up, the reading lamp is lit.

I actually find the 717 cockpit and seats fairly tolerable. I have no intention of flying the 737. Jumpseated a couple of times... Boeing blew it, no doubt about it.

Longer answer: Now that Delta has started competing with Alaska out of Seattle, there is too much competition for it to be approved without some serious caveats.

Alaska's stock price is within 10% of it's all time high and 6X what it was five years ago. It seems to me the window of opportunity has closed on that union. Ramping up competition with Alaska doesn't seem like a sound business strategy for a carrier you want to buy either.

Thanks for the posts guys. This gives me some hope!

Just weird that it has come up again from different areas.

Thanks!

Anyone know while looking in iCrew, on the relative position within category screen, the NYC Mad-dog FO(B) shows the most junior pilot at 15,008 seniority????


WOW

That is why I said that it leads to more headaches a few posts back. Unless something has changed ACS will not let you be the person to sign for him/her on the other side. You have to fill out the UM stuff and put a name and number of someone that is going to meet them. I went through this a couple of years ago.

What about an EFB full of porn? Does the reading lamp still come on if it's backlit?

I rode jumpseat 2 weeks ago with my 13-year-olds in the back. Didn't have to fill out any paperwork. BTW, the gal at the gate was one of the most nice, courteous, and professional gate agents I've ever met. She was busting her tail that day to get the flight out by herself and as many non-revs on as she could.

Just fill out a unaccompanied minor form at the gate, with u meeting them at theother end.

Thanks. Baja.
You really should look at Travelnet under Pass Policy, as several of the answers here have been incomplete or not in compliance with policy. Search for "accompaniment of children" dated 3/10/15. There are restrictions on the types of flights and listings you can do based on age (5 and 14 are the magic numbers). By policy you're supposed to fill out UM paperwork, but no UM services are provided (no charges either). There are some other rules and restrictions published in the preamble about accompaniment of which you should be aware.
