I frequently non-rev on American and United. Can't say enough great things about pilots, fa's, and gate agents. Most flight attendants are super friendly to people in uniform and I often get special treatment. Never JSed on Delta so can't say. I did JS on SWA And noticed not so friendly behavior towards non revs. Did it only once so can't say it was the norm.

I think it's more, "If you want to work for a legacy, go to a legacy." And it's not meant like, "Shut-up and color" but honestly if you're miserable here, there's no reason to stick around. Everybody is hiring and the longer you wait, the more seniority you pass up.



According to our MEC, our part is to wear a lanyard, stay educated, and fly SOP. I haven't seen any discussion on this board that runs counter to this.

Some people say we should never participate in cabin cleaning, some people say they personally comply with company policy if they are non-revving and don the blue gloves after all the customers are off of the airplane. Some people say the Lodge is a disgrace and some people say the Lodge is actually pretty convenient. Some people say management's intentions are patently evil and some people say they're just pragmatic. I don't think anyone is actually saying pilots should have to clean the cabin or that we don't deserve a raise. We all want these things to change, but question whether or not we need to be miserable in the meantime.

Personally, as a new-hire I enjoyed the Lodge. I had some sims that started at 0500 and others that finished at 0300, so the ability to walk 2 minutes to/from training was great. I drove down with a cooler full of craft beer, so the prohibition on personal booze in the rooms was a big letdown, but they had Jai Alai IPA on draft, so that cushioned the blow. The staff was amazingly friendly, the gym was nice and I think I played more basketball than I've played since high school.

I wear my lanyard, read the ALPA emails and try to fly SOP, I just don't see the need to participate in some kind of PsyOps campaign against anything and everything JetBlue.

--Just one new guy's opinion--


Well put. Thank you.

Which legacies have this policy? I work for AA and have non-rev'd on Delta/SWA and none expect you to wait and let all the passengers deplane before getting off.

It's an older policy on Delta. They stopped that years ago but a lot of people still do it.

Sorry if it's painful to hear some negativity when it comes to substandard pay and reserve rules.
Oh I think you know that is not what I was saying. I know you know.
Also one of us is on reserve and one of us isn't so spare me the lecture.

Funny because Delta guys are usually the first to get off our planes.

Sorry youre on reserve- I did not know that.
It does make it more difficult to understand the allowances you make for B6 though.
