Nope. The snow storm was Bush's fault.

NWA has the largest group of Captains doing this now with Delta a close second. UAL is a bit behind now, but eventually they will move with it. Just wait till the end of the year, this effort was just started in November 2005.

Ahhhhhh OK, I see now.

Thank you for making abundantly clear how much stock I can put into what you post from now on.

I believe this to be a rumor, but sometimes the spiteful pettyness of union recruiters astonishes me. As someone here said, if anything, taking a nonunion jumpseater gives you an opportunity to exchange ideas. Also, if you are nonunion [or even just "pro-business" like me ;) ], if you're getting a free meal in someone else's kitchen, don't ***** about the cooking.

I'm union and JB pilots will always be welcome on my flights unless they are proven d##kheads, and that will take some to top some of my ALPA brothers that I have let ride.

Sounds like someone who started talking crap on "The Hanger", and failed to bring anyone else on the bandwagon. Since I posted this question in Aug, I haven't had one bad experience on any offline carrier. In fact the number of other airline pilots and FAs that JB carries far out numbers the total number of pilots at JB. Just look at the number of AA, DL, CO, NWA pilots that live in BUF, SYR, ROC, BTV, BOS and commute on JetBlue before you make stupid comments like that. If DAL or NWA ever tried something like what you are wishing, the FA unions would FLIP! NWA and DAL pilots and FAs have more to lose then JB pilots do. Let's hope stupid rumors stay on the forum, and not out on the line, for everyones sake.

They commuted just fine prior to blue, and they will do just fine after neelman pulls the plug.

It would be interesting to compare lists of these few individuals.:mad: I would bet that the ones on mine are probably on yours.

I have no idea where you are getting your "facts", but they are just wrong. In fact, quite a few of my friends at DAL would be very offended by your attempted character assassination of their pilot group.

Please cite specific examples of DAL turning down JB pilots.

Respectfully,

Care to share who these CO clowns are. I'll bet money that I'd refuse the same guys :D
