To bad TWA is gone, at one time they could have beards....that would really have some of these guys in a tizzy.

What's your beef, GJ is GJ, not TSA. It's our flying with seperate union, contract and good rates. At least we're not forcing mainline out of a job and replacing them with our 70 seaters.

Cue another Hojet thread in 3...2....1...

(And it's not your flying, it's TSA's flying.)

Then why didn't you get it? Sorry, you can't have it both ways.

No, it's mainline's flying.

'Cause mgmt created an alter ego carrier to do it for us when we demanded more money for bigger planes. We tried to raise the bar, and instead, they brought in people willing to sell out their fellow pilots and do it for less.

Honestly, why do you think people dislike gojet pilots? It's not 'cause your planes are shinier than ours. It's because very day you go to work, you're lowering the bar for an entire industry of people who are already vastly undercompensated. But hey, you got to fly shiny jets.

You're right. I'll be the first on board when we give ALL jets to mainline and we all get our mainline seniority numbers (and vastly larger paychecks).

and shinniness wears off, then what are you left with?

In a perfect world, the question of proper dress for the jumpseat would never arise. Everyone would just know and act accordingly rather than try to determine what the limits are.

It is understood that below QUESTION 'crosses the line,' yet hypothetical...

QUESTION:
Could you have a cocktail before jumpseating?

Is a a jumpseater (sitting on flightdeck) considered 'available crew'? Example: in case of working pilot incapacitation or another UA 232?

How about if cabin jumpseating?
