Not gonna be a problem. They're improvising.
The equipment manager now carries spare parts for helmets, shoulder pads and ankle monitors.

Needless to say he was not real happy about the situation. I don't call that a stupid rumor. I'm sure that there was good intent with this program, however I think that possibly a few individuals administered it poorly. If you call that fanning the flames then so be it. I suppose that if you did not like something that was happening on your flight deck you would just accept it and move on because you would not want to make any waves and fan the flames.;) Personally I have no problems with the idea of this program, just they way it was done by some.

PM me the pilots name. I will contact him and we will get the flight info. The jumpseat pilot will be fired if what you say is true. There was no program such as this so clearly he was operating outside of Delta. All management riders at Delta are required to identify themselves and state exactly why they are riding on the jumpseat. Even a check Airman just catching a ride to work or for personal reasons on the jumpseat must identify himself to the crew as a check airman.
Pilots who were assisting on the transpac spin up used the TOE guide. They took notes on areas where there may be differences between NW and Delta and implimentation. Non jeopardy and notes never attached with a flight or crew. Every pilot doing that program (set up by the 767 program manager a NW pilot) had to identify himself to the crew and why he was there. He was required to show up for the briefing and not just as a jumpseat rider at the gate.
Your story was also posted almost word for word in the Dalpa forum yet no one was ever able to attach a date or crew to the rumor. I really personally find it hard to believe that pilots search other pilots stuff when they go to the bathroom. Been here a long time and have never seen that one!

My favorite time of year by far.

I'm just ready for fall not only because of football but because I am so sick and tired of this heat and humidity. I can take a month and half max. I think going back to mid June, when it first got above 90 for real and not just a day or two like it did in April, there has only been 6 days below 94.

I mean I'll take Las Vegas 109 over ATL 93. So this is pay back time for MSP folks. ;)

Sailing that jives with everything I have been told. I think if went down that way and the pilot was identified, he or she will have a few tough questions to answer at a min.

I have always had LCA's AQFO's, DGS INS, INS, PCP's, APD's et al identify themselves when riding in the front.

Probably not.. and not for that reason...

Kiffin left the cupboard pretty bare believe it or not.. and the ones that were trouble have been punted. Coach Dooley is a class act, but that will precipitate a long.. probably losing.. couple of years. No more punks at UT... they will have to remain at florida with the head punk of the SEC.
