^^^ Was not in uniform when that happened thank god
Please tell me this did not involve DAL.

How about the tool captain that includes this is every Pre-flight brief. As he taps his eppaulets "you know what this means? It means I have 51% control of this aircraft. The rest of it is dispersed at my discretion.". This guy is 23 and was hired at 18....

Self-disclosing only saves you the fine and penalty, but the problem is that the violation seemed intentional.

You're definitely going to have a "Tool" on your record.

If you're traveling standby, and get a seat, you probably outta be a little more discreet and either run you bag downstairs or don't harass the paying pax. Sounds like the tool was you.

I saw that as a LCA. They get it out of their system after about two years in the left seat.
