That's right - MOVE ON!

Any post after mine about this will be deleted.

Lots of other tools out there to discuss; this one is like that dead horse.

More than once have I given up the seat to someone who is going TO work when I have had priority when non-revving. I would hope to have the favor returned.

My butt has been saved by folks giving up the jump on their own metal so that I, an offline jumper, could make it to work (SWA multiple times and AA once). Very nice of them, and I'll never forget and pay it forward at every opportunity.

But nobody is obligated to do that, and who's to say that somebody going to work is more important that another pilot's personal business? Where do you draw the line? Your own wedding? Brother's wedding? Best friend's wedding? Job interview? How about commuting to military reserve duty?

Don't think you have an entitlement to dictate other people's priorities, assume the published priority, and be pleasantly surprised if somebody does you a solid.

Hang on there... We all need to discuss important airline issues. Sometimes the discussion may become heated. However these discussions usually lead to some sort of resolution. Like other subjects discussed on APC, this too will also fade into cyberspace.

So be patient, sit back relax, and have a cognac and a breadstick
