I just can't stop laughing REALLY ?


sorry

 

Right??? I mean really.......

 

If you have questions about a Pax inboard your airplane ask your gate agent, that will save you time and the embarrassment.

Are there any JS in the back? No! Ok, thanks! After landing, greet the man and you might make a new friend, remember that it's all about networking!

 

yes the very polite way

 

.................

 

Perfect solution. How easy and civil was that. Pilots helping pilots. What an idea.

 

Pilots helping pilots? I don't get it. This guy didn't need any help; he needed to not be harassed by Capt. Respect My Authoritah!
If I see a pilot in uniform who didn't check in I would assume they are deadheading or non-rev, neither of which need to check in with the crew. It seems rather telling that this capt. just assumed he was jumpseating. I love all the replies from the Gojets brain trust. Just, wow.
The last part of the guy's post about professionalism is spot on. Try to open your minds a bit and think about what he wrote.

 

His comment was constructive and not talking down to us "little" people. I was not talking about the 135 guy.

 

You sir are the one that needs a bit of polishing and a course in professionalism is something that YOU could benefit from. Let me teach you a lesson...the professional thing to do while traveling in uniform is to check in with the crew to remove all question of who you are. There are jumpseateres that do not check in, so separate yourself from those people. It takes twenty seconds to check in with the crew and by doing so you may get an upgrade the proper way.
Remember this business is all about networking and you never know who you may meet and how that person may become a contact to help you in the future.
I can promise you that in this situation you'll certainly be remembered...as the douche bag 135 guy that was so offended he threatened calling the CP to report some guys for doing that which is in their scope and authority. Does not sound to me like they crossed any lines or made a scene...they did the right thing, you did not!!
You obviously feel empowered by jumping on the GoJet haters train, but that train has unfortunately already left the station and no one really cares about it any longer. GoJet may have a few sour apples, but for the most part they are a good group. You may try to make them out as scum of the regional world, but all you're really trying to do is make yourself feel better about your own, obviously crappy world and life. Go ahead and keep hating but GoJet'ers are now and will soon be filling more cockpit seats at UAL, AAL, and DAL...and thankfully you'll still be 135 with your bad attitude!!! Or you can let those courses in professionalism pay off, do the right thing, think for yourself, not be a band-wagoner, and find some happiness instead of wasting a crew's time at the gate or a chief pilot's time with your nonsense.

 

You find that situation funny? Nice. I don't. Yeah, I've heard *more* than two stories so far, but I'm not sure how many are separate or the same instance. It seems like *some* of the GoJets pilot group are so worried about jumpseat retribution that they resort to these childish antics. So I'd like to who we're dealing with here, maybe I'll end up in the same situation with the same captain. I'd like to differentiate these clowns from the rest of the group.

And really 8hour? Was I attacking you personally? Aren't you from Comair? I feel bad for you guys at Comair. Great folks! Why are you smarting me off???? What this captain did was wrong and embarrassing. If there is a backlash, then I say good. Maybe people will THINK and ask questions before shooting next time.

So yeah, keep laughing about how a captain acted like a complete clown, as if what I said was directed at you anyways.
