I prefer pushing them down the escalator.

I always let the captains get out first when the van door opens into the road. Timing is everything with the traffic. Downtown Seattle layover is perfect.

But what goes around, comes around, reference karma.

Confident or not, it's a good thing you didn't bet your life....

All trips touching the Shadow are for pay purposes only--they are never actually awarded to you & remain in the "pot" for PBS to award to junior bidders. You are paid for all trips so dropped, including any day(s) beyond the Shadow.

Had a captain tell me the "rule" was: if he had to use a jacket, an umbrella, or a flashlight, it was my walk-around....

FOs do your job. Let the captains do theirs. I have done walk around after captains, not out of distrust out of a sense of responsibility and a need to stretch. Do you give him a break and brief the crew? The duties are divided so the crew concept works in a timely manner when thing are running smoothly. I still volunteer to assist if I think I can be helpful and not just a distraction.

...or the card good for a free "Save the Tiger" poster at any Orlando Exxon station?

Non rev SLC

Trying to get to SLC from ATL later this month. Travelnet ives a warning about being weight restricted. How often does that impact seats avail? I realize non rev is a crap shoot period, but this adds a new wrinkle.

Any pro tips?
