Is it really that hard? IF you have a pass with 1P or 2P on it, and the agent tells you to take a seat, you still need to stop and check in because you are still technically a jumpseater. IF you get a pass with an actual seat number, you are a non rev. When you non rev with the family, do you stop and check in?

Not sure why guys try to make this harder than it is.

No kidding! It's just as simple as this!

Dead horse= Beat :) Anyway found this good news for us MSPers

Delta Air Lines begins seasonal nonstop from MSP to Iceland - StarTribune.com

More international out of MSP is definitely a good sign.

probably flown by an ATL crew..:rolleyes:

Heh. If not MSP crew, prolly NYC, they already fly JFK-KEF & vice versa. Given the timing of the flights it appears they intend to route one plane MSP-KEF-JFK and the other opposite. Interestingly Icelandair already flies MSP-KEF a couple times a week in the summer, also in a 757-200. I figured they were able to fill it with connecting traffic to continental Europe... I guess DL thinks there's enough traffic headed just to Iceland to justify a second flight to KEF.

Spent a week in Iceland this summer. Beautiful country, beautiful women, fun city in Reykjavik.

I used to fly JFK KEF all the time when I was on the ER. Flights were always full of tourists.

I received the "Fix-it" emails from Delta this afternoon. From reading a bit back through the forums, does this imply they will offer an invite to interview? Have others out there received the "fix-it" email and never heard back?

Thanks

Complying with the FOM is hard? Having etiquette is hard? I don't really think they are hard. Honestly going through life thinking rules don't apply to you or are optional seems far more stressful and hard to me.

As a captain you know that every day 1Ps just head to the back with out checking in either because of bad gate agents or lack of knowledge about Delta's system.

As a captain you also know that anytime a you a receive a "stay at gate for performance" message followed by a WDR showing a jumpseater that jumpseater must sit in the cockpit. I don't really give 2 $hips if the plane won't fall out of the sky. I follow the rule. Just like I know wearing a hat won't make a better pilot. I still wear it because it is a rule.

Also I am sure you are aware that part of CRM is using all available resources to solve problems. If you don't readily know what resources are available to you then how can you use them?

My original post was simply pointing out an error by another poster. If you don't find them useful that is your right, however your response makes you seem more like a child then a captain.

To be completely honest, I commute (not for long yay!) so I list for JS a LOT and I have never once had a captain ask me to sit in the jumpseat because it said 1P(and yes I always check in!), and it ALWAYS says 1P, they never roll me to non-rev, not once has that ever happened to me despite that the FOM says that they will. But its definitely your prerogative as a captain to say they must sit in the jumpseat if you are concerned it will affect W&B.
