I told him if he could talk the gate into giving him a seat in the back, he was welcome to it but not up front if he's not on the list.

"But it was sold out, my company couldn't buy me a seat so they told me to JS to my next position."

Sounds like he need a lesson on how not to let the company bend him over.

Dang really? I always ask. If im positive space, ile just go sit. Nonrev or JS ile check in, unless its clear that doing so would be a bad call. Gotta read the situation. But most of the time stopping by and saying hi is taken well.

As for guys that say "im riding up here with you" I believe they need a clue. Not very polite. And yes what has happened to manners these days?

He's a freightdog... bent over is his normal position.

Word to the wise, this sort of situation can *usually* be diffused by the crew member before it gets to this point. Didn't see what led up to it, so no way to know in this case.

But do us all a favor, press for charges in this sort of situation (even if your employer prefers otherwise). Gotta draw the line somewhere.

This is why you change your shirt when commuting.

Agreed. Looks like it'll be open season since airline management has shown it will cave and doesn't want to be the bad guy.
