Oh and I’m the idiot??? I sure as h$ll don’t go on the mainline forum and start throwing stones at posters there. This is a bull $h!t change to our deadhead policy and the fact that you interjected yourself to support it speaks volumes of your character. I’m pretty sure that we have never bumped a revenue passenger for select seats. So the issue is appearance. How does a customer differentiate between mainline pilots in uniform and regional connection pilots in first class or comfort plus? Being crammed in a middle seat when on a required deadhead sucks plain sucks. Especially if there are seats available up front.

 

That’s how United has always wanted you to list. At the gate

 

Where did I say I supported it?

Where did I throw stones?

Offering a correct interpretation of what was in the memo along with the correct info about mainline DH policy is important to the discussion. If you’ll calmly reread the memo and then some of these posts above you’ll see there are misconceptions out in the ether. I would expect you to correct something like this on a mainline thread.

You’re attacking my character now? I get it. You’re overly emotional about this and it shows in your posts. It’s not the first time you’ve worn your emotions on your sleeve on this forum. You’re interpreting blunt, short posts as “throwing stones.” Am I supposed to pat you on the back and say everything is going to be ok? I mean, come on, we're all adults here.

Countless mainline DHers get stuck in middle seats, too. That’s a consequence of flying for successful airlines sometime.

Again, you’re attacking someone who’s trying to give context. If you don’t care then don’t read and quote. I fully expect them to come after us about this, too. It’s only a matter of time.

 

I’m not attacking your character. I’m saying your posts speak volumes of your character. I didn’t name specifics. But I suppose it warranted the personal attack regarding me wearing my emotions on my sleeve in this forum? And yes, we are all adults. And we are both flying Delta passengers. If I interpret this correctly I’ll be stuck in the back on an Endeavor flight on a deadhead while Delta Mainline is in first class deadheading? I’m pretty sure that you’d be emotional about it too

 

My character is just fine. You simply can’t handle the change and are lashing out at the easiest target.

Also noticing that someone is wearing their emotions on their sleeve isn’t a personal attack. You’ve already admitted you’re emotional about this.

Lastly, I’m tired of getting ****ed off at stuff in this profession. Some things just don’t make sense and aren’t fair so I’ve learned to move on quickly.

 

Btw moving on quickly to hounding the apc forum? Not even your airline forum.

 

I can handle the change just fine. Thanks for that asinine assumption. I’ll have to. And since when is discussing something one is emotional about wrong? Are you incapable of trying to see this or discuss this from our point of view? Yes your post was blunt. And I feel insensitive.

 

That's how it worked on my deadhead to LGA this morning. Mainline pilots in uniform had PSUP and PSUW on the standby list and were upgraded as space was available. My check-in had the standard "Upgrade Requested" on the check-in page of the Delta site, but no 9E crew were listed as PSUP.

 

Hounding. Interesting choice of words.

I find it fascinating that there are some on this forum who demand to be mainline's equal yet can’t handle one of them in their playground. Better to have the “get the pitchforks” mentality all the time. The fact that I haven’t demonstrated that is all I’m guilty of in my opinion.

BTW, I’m not ****ed off therefore there’s nothing to move on quickly from.

 

Uhh, calling angry and suicidal, party of one!
