Agreed. The whole thing leaves me scratching my head on why on earth would you let a guy like this think it was okay to act like he did and show up for a jumpseat dressed like that.

Both of us work for SWA and we have an extremely relaxed JS dress code, but military flight suit?! Are you kidding me? Then even worse is the attitude. Yeah.....you’re denied AND I’m turning it in to our JS Committee. YHGTBSM.

That why mobile phones are also great cameras and recorders. No long winded reports to be written.

Dress code at my carrier is pretty relaxed for a number of reasons, but if I *were* flying for a passenger carrier with any kind of dress code, I could visualize myself going out on a limb a little and maybe looking the other way for someone who was otherwise a decent sort. I really have a tough time seeing myself bending the rules much for a guy who is is a complete douche, and also is that far out of compliance the dress code.

Wasn’t my decision in the right seat and we gave him some slack at first even though he was dressed like a little boy at Halloween. We didn’t know about the ops agent interaction and that he was an ass to her until we were half way to DEN. One of the FAs called up and told us what they observed at the gate as they were getting on since we had an FA crew change in LAS. I can assure you that if this info would have been known before we pushed he would have been walking.

Was it CASS denied because your computer system has an amazingly painful way of not processing jumpseaters. All the ALPA carriers did the heavy lifting to get CASS and KCM. Glad you guys get to use what the rest of us paid for. Any chance you could at least try to make your system work?

Apparently we let ALPA guys on, no matter how they dress or act. That okay with you?

But in the cockpit is a rare thing with your IT.

True, our IT is something.

I paid ALPA dues for over 7 years. You are barking up the wrong tree, pal.

Yup, this. I think "Virtual Airlines" are dorky beyond description, but you know what?, He ain't bothering anyone. Calling him a "tool" because his choice of time-waster doesn't meet with your approval is ... well ... toolish.

Umm, I wasn’t calling him a tool. I was responding to the earlier post and specifically stated he wasn’t a tool. 🙄🙄
