I was at AirTran from '05-'07. If you could avoid the scabs then the rest of the crews were great. My fondest memories of 121 flying were at DaTranny.

I agree. But this jack wagon was plainly speaking and plainly answering other radio call on the ground. Based on that, I assume it's the 717 FO.

Also, wearing the shoulder harness at the gate with the jetway still hooked up is a pretty good indication of future questionable behavior.

I always buckle the shoulder belts before I talk on the radio for pushback.
Talking on the radio is dangerous.

When you fly the mad dog you really don't have much other free time to do it...

We didn't used to but for some reason our CMO became hard-over on that. Taxi and sterile. And yes I know what the regs say about shoulder harnesses but apparently that doesn't apply to us any more.

Shoulder harness cuts off epaulet buttons, however they're also very easily forgotten. Looking cool in school would be a dumb excuse for eating the glareshield.

The pilot from another airline that told me I should use my place on the standby list to get a seat in the back on my airline to get another one of his pilots in the second Jumpseat. Which would leave a mom (who works at my airline) and her young child behind.
