777 service out of KRDU
#34
American has operated a flight from Mayberry RFD (RDU) to Gatwick for over 10 years. I know...it's hard to imagine little ol' Raleigh, a country bumpkin cow pasture with service all the way over to that big ol' England. Shucks, next thing you know Mayberry will have d-i-r-e-c-t flights places like New York City and maybe even that big ol' 'Lanta some day. If it hasn't rained too much, they even let that big ol' 777 land on the big long dirt strip. Shoot...we might even get some real concrete runways some day !!
As for jumpseaters, United would allow "regional pilots" who were on the "Approved List" to jumpseat to Europe. I know because I let one of Atlantic Southeast Captain's jumpseat to Heathrow out of Dulles at least four times. He was Swedish and would travel home often to see family. Even with the new security procedures, any 121 pilot in the system, is ALWAYS welcomed.

dojetdriver,
Calm down big boy. The major's don't look down on you for the size airplane you fly, etc. You need to relax on the tone a bit. The AA flyer doesn't have to go the extra mile at all for you or anyone else but he is. You pull the typicall Bill O'Reilly let's use some incediary talk to flame the situation and get attention then back off and apologize as if that's not what you meant. I flew with two regionals for ten years in between furlough and I've never seen the jumpseat denied based on who you worked for. That said, it often times is corporate security driving the use of international jumpseating.
BTW, I like the Maiden sign. Did you know that Bruce Dickenson is flying 757's for a British charter company. He apparently flew a whole plane filled with fans to Iceland for a concert then sang the show. Outstanding!

A newly added proposal on the APA Contract negotiating website is the we (APA) are requesting complete control of the Jumpseat and Lists for Domestic and International. AA would still be required to update CASS and DECS (our Sabre software).
