Sounds like you probably had a gate check tag and they goofed and didn't bring it up. I understand their confusion though. If you had asked me for a bag with a 'deadhead' tag on it, I would've been curious as to what you meant as well, but knowing that you're a crew member I would have simply looked for any extra bags with a gate check tag on it. |

Thanks for the pic/explanations. We didn't utilize anything like that for DH crews where I worked.
That photo answers the next question I was going to ask; whether the tag was an actual adhesive backed printed tag from a CSA or just a little paper tag like what the pic shows with the elastic band. Never been a fan of those. They snap and tear too easily. |
Perhaps captain lunatic wanted to try one of those super-dangerous intersection takeoffs. Not sure who is the tool here, but very likely somebody is:
United Express Flight pilots cause after co-pilot refuses to fly with 'unstable' captain | Daily Mail Online Flight 4453 to Houston was 'delayed due to crew availability,' said the ExpressJet spokesman, Jarek Beem. 'There was a disagreement among crew members. There was no fight … there was no physical altercation thankfully.' |

To the crew (pilots & FA's) who are sitting in the lobby at the hotel talking while the bus to the airport is filling up and coincidently now full only to come outside and get upset that there's no room for them. Then stand there and claim that they are crew members and are going to be late for their flight because of this and try to push there way on to the bus.

U-NI-FORM - the distinctive clothing worn by members of the same organization or body or by children attending certain schools - or - not changing in form or character; remaining the same in all cases and at all times. It is this inconsistency that speaks to a lack of professionalism in the eyes of our passengers. Do they care, or do they believe a hat makes a pilot more professional? Probably not, for most. However, there are some people in our profession who do care. It is not that hard people. If your company has a uniform policy, don't gripe about it, follow it. If you would like the uniform policy to change, I am sure most companies have a procedure you can follow to enact that change. You're right though. No one cares. Not even a little bit. |
