Did you mean luggage carts for the entire post?

The people who stand still on the moving sidewalk.
The corners of my Purdy Neat bag announce my arrival as I walk past them though.

I was in the jump. I witnessed it myself. You'd have thought he'd been served swamp rat tartare.
If you are talking "Nutria" swamp rat tartare then that is usually what I order for my special meal. It is seasoned properly with Tony Chachere Louisiana creole seasoning and comes with all the accouterments. Perhaps he should change his meal preference.

To the new hire UAL former XJT guy complaining that I made him show me his credentials when he jumpsat in the back. Yes I know its a waste of 5 seconds of your life but we are required to verify your stuff even with a seat in the back. You are NOT a non rev you are a guest using jumpseat privileges. Good luck telling your j/s committee about your horrible experience getting a free ride home 20 minutes early with some free almond m&ms. To the xjt and rah guys who had their stuff out ready to show, thank you.

To address this point about showing credentials. At Alaska airlines, if you are given a seat in the back you do not have to say hello to the crew or captain. I don't mind if you do but I'm not going to ask for your stuff unless your sitting up front. Welcome aboard.

True, but I always like to say Hello to the pilots and the A F/A as a minimum so they know they have a qualified ABP and what seat I was assigned. If the Capt. asks to see credentials for a js/non-rev I have no problem complying.
