Or so I was told!
What you should have done was call his room and talk like a hot chick, tell him his loud conversation is making you so horny!

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.

I simply posted because I thought I had something to add to your site. I, like many of you I'm sure, visit other forums of your interest. Aviation is just one of my interests and I have been around it for over 30 years. Through the '90s I was actively involved with Texas Raiders, Gulf Coast Wing, CAF as a full flying sponsor and turned my fair share of wrenches on her.
In regards to a news link, there was nothing locally and I doubt in Chicago either as the amount was $740 well below the $1000 limit for a felony.
I can always get a report if that will satisfy everyone. I have nothing to gain by falsifying the information I have posted. My intention was to contribute to your site in a meaningful and appropriate way.
If I have violated an inner sanctum then please forgive me.

As for your original post. That pilot was definitely was a tool.

Thanks for contributing to our group in a "meaningful and appropriate way".
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.

Turns out a pilot with a major Regional was on the moving walkway behind me and picked it up, stuffing it in his pocket.
How do you know he worked for a large regional? I'm just curious as we never heard anything like this in the news or scuttlebutt around campus.

Yes, it is.
None of the other posts involve unverified criminal charges. I believe there is a huge difference. We can disagree on that.

The other day on SFO Ground...
Ground to Skywest RJ, in UAX colors: "Skywest 1234, give way to the United Airbus at Delta."
Skywest RJ: "Skywest 1234, giving way to the Airbus."
Ground: "United 999, continue taxiing, company holding for you at Delta."
The apoplectic explosion of rage from Fifi was a thing to behold. "Ground, this is United 999, he's not company! He's NOT COMPANY!!!!!!" Sounded like the guy was about to stroke out.
When Ground cleared us to follow the same Airbus to the ramp (since we were parking at the next gate over), it took all my willpower to resist saying "Roger, follow company to the ramp."

Although, to balance out that little exchange, there was this one in LAX not long ago.
LAX Ground to Delta 737: "Delta 123, taxi 25R full length, follow the Skywest 175."
Delta 737: "Delta 73, taxi 25R full length, follow the little guy."
Then ground calls a heavy, I think it was an Air New Zealand 777.
LAX Ground: "New Zealand One Heavy, taxi 25R full length, follow the Delta 737 just coming out of the alley."
New Zealand One Heavy: "Taxi 25R full length, New Zealand One Heavy. And...we'll follow the little guy."
I wish I could've bought that dude a beer...
