When you get into the airplane, turn right like all the normal people, get to your seat, sit down, shut up, and enjoy the ride.

If an upgrade is what you're looking for, ask the gate agent if first class is full, let them know you're an employee but purchased the ticket for a honeymoon. She'll get the hint.

What he said.

I can not understand you guys. No wonder this industry is in such a mess. The mememememememe syndrome is rampant with the utes. In the old days we took care of each other. Perhaps the ipod has numbed the brains.

To the guy getting married. Best of luck and from the observations I see on this board, don't ride on an RJ. I hope it is a mainline flight and perhaps someone will show some professional courtesy and help you celebrate your wedding.

Well Cap, I do not believe this is just an issue with the young ipod wearing pilots you speak of. I've jumpsat on many flights with many open seats in first and the crusty Capt had no problem watching me walk back to row 75B for my 8 hour flight after checking in and asking for a lift on his plane.

Huh?

Thanks, hopefully I will get a crew that has your mentality! Whenever anyone is on my plane I do everything in my power to make it as comfortable as possible trying to show them the same kindness I would like one day.

OK, I'll bite.


If you were trying to find out how to get a First Class upgrade on your honeymoon, why did you title this thread, "Jumpseat Etiquette Question"?

Perhaps because he unfortunately assumed that others, the adults maybe, would actually be able to understand what he was talking about. Further proof of the degradation of the personality level of the people in this industry. With such a low threshold of experience to find yourself in a RJ and no one of any longevity to tutor the newcomers to how to act. We get kids flying airplanes and acting like kids. Look no further than the AA Eagle pilot that thought it "funny" to tell the people that he was diverting from CLE to TOL due to an Emergency at CLE. He then lands at CLE and says it was just a joke. Holy schmolly you don't use the "E" word unless there is such a thing actually happening.

I thinking of opening up a line of schools to teach pilots how to act when released to society.

I need to make myself some business cards. What shall I put on it?

Tony,

There are two types of baggage:

Carry Ons and Lost.

Plus I'm not letting the tsa scum touch my bags without my supervision.
