The guy has no track record but that didn't prevent you from quickly finding the poster a "liar".

If he's got the goods he can answer the questions asked. If he's starts dancing around he'll start developing his own TOTD rating.

This is warming up, either he's got more facts and evidence or a troll has been quickly identified. Up to now the jury, IMO, is still out.

However, I'll nominate you as tool of the day for your FIRST post on a site you lurk on to be to discredit a pilot. I don't know whether the accused is guilty or innocent, but I think it is certainly a d!ck move to show up on a site and blast a guy. Thanks for contributing to our group in a "meaningful and appropriate way".

You will not see me jumping at the chance to post a thread on a dentist forum if I had a dentist as like a drunk clown on my flight...

It sounds like the pilot in question may have been a tool... But the guy not in the profession that immediately posts on our board without any evidence whatsoever is a much bigger one.
Lighten up. The guy was relating a story and the person involved was a pilot and this is mostly a pilot site. Shoot, every airline has their few that end up breaking the law. The guy isn't bashing pilots.

if you clip your ID badge to your collar, you might be a tool.

I never said he was bashing pilots, I said he was bashing one pilot. Forgive me for being the sole person that stands up for us here. It's called "Due process", and it's part of the constitution, and it's something that I believe strongly in.

And for the record, I didn't call him a "liar", I said i was calling BS, as in not true, or at least not fully true.

Never worked retail, have you? Deposit envelopes contain the bank deposit slip, the credit card slips, checks, and CASH, that the register took in that day.

No, stealing makes him a tool. It's pretty obvious to anyone what a business's bank deposit envelope looks like.



Hard to mistake for trash. You seem pretty torqued up about this. You know the guy?

No, I never have. No, I have no clue what the slip or envelope look like. I stated as much. I did not know they contained cash. Thanks for clarifying. I do not know the individual.

For today the DL gate agents for closing the door 20 early. I ran after a flight and got there 15 prior and it was "too late." No weather issues, no GDP, no plane waiting for the gate, no viable issue to close 20 prior? It's one thing if the plane does indeed push back 15 early. But a little confusing to understand how the jetbridge can be hooked up to the airplane and no one going anywhere, and they are standing there and then the official out time is 7 prior. Listing a pilot and walking down the jetbridge wouldn't take that long, maybe a couple minutes at most. If they accepted to list/take me, they would have still pushed back 7 early. It's only a little frustrating because in the past I had a DL jumpseat and literally at the 15 minute mark a DL guy showed up and I lost the JS. No complaints there, I get that's JS priority allowed up to 15 prior for a DL guy.

I'm in the industry and know how it works. But this was a first for a 20 prior denial at 15. Oh well, better luck next time.
