What exactly did I assume Ultimate Keyboard Warrior? If you're not smart enough to comprehend parts of a story that are obvious jest to enhance the point then it's not worth talking to you anyway.

The amount of pilots that have issues complying with a uniform standard/professional appearance standard knows no bounds nor demographics.

To add to the above situation. The pilots that work at a certain airline, but don't list themselves to non-rev on said airline. Just check in for the Jumpseat and head down right away. And with all the no shows and magical seats free up, said pilot could have held a seat in back. Meanwhile, the offline commuting pilot/pilots could have go the JS while the other guy had the seat in back he could have held yet didn't list for.

The CA who proceeded to include a full route description in his preflight pax briefing...on a flight LAS-LAX. Think about it for a moment. "We'll be departing to the west, turning left and heading to Primm, Nevada, and then on into the Barstow and San Bernardino areas, over Ontario and into LAX." Delivered, I might add, while standing in the cabin.

Oh, and it was 0630 on a Monday morning. I'm sure all the pax appreciated the droning announcement at that hour...not to mention the level of detail usually reserved for a 15-hr ULR trip.

Sigh.

How about "no"?



In any case, no matter how it shakes out, if the ride is on my company's metal and you're with a different company and there is only one seat, you're not gonna get it. Same for me on your company's metal.



If there are seats available, I'll flow back there anyway. You can too. Or, if the plane is full, I can/will ride the FA jumpseat so you can have the cockpit jumpseat.
