yea they are out....Colgan was making a killing on the Boston flight because big sky was so late that all the customer would be transferred to US AIR

 

You live in base don't you?

 

Philly F terminal...good god

the agents don't have a clue!!

 

As a New Hire waiting for a class date am ramping it at a ND DC-9 station and the crews show up 20 minutes prior to the flight when the manual says a DC-9 gets preboarded 35 minutes prior I've had a few choice words for these Not Welcomed pilots

 

Any of y'all work with a gate agent like this?

not trying to open a wound but we aren't that bad are we? actually, i've encountered some pretty "harsh"(to say the absolute least) agents and i've followed through to get to their supervisors. just keep in mind, for the most part, it is not you, it is the bad weather and maintenance aircraft that is suppose to go to a big connection city and the crew timing out oh and dispatch is working against us. it is the gate house filled with bytchin passengers asking the dumbest questions possible. and it is some of the cocky crew members that walk through thinking they are the level below God.

just a few cities to avoid, LGA, JFK, ATL. CVG has been good for me but i think it is because they know i work for comair. try to fly through the smaller cities rather than the hubs. and remember, get there how you can. gate agents can do so much......

 

Sorry for my ignorance student pilot here trying to understand the language. What is the definition of these 2 words: non-rev and fa?

thanks!

 

Of course. Why else would I work here?

 

Non-rev = Non Revenue passenger. Fa = Flight attendant.
