Delta cracks me up! I was trying to get home on a flight a while back and got stuck in ATL (which seems to always happen). It was a full flight and I listed for the JS. A DAL captain showed up 10 minutes before the flight and listed as a JS. The gate agent told me that he took the JS (which is fine because he is DAL and I am Comair). He also stated that there is an extra FA JS in the 757 that was open, but that Comair does not have a FA JS agreement with DAL (because we have no extra JS) and I could not ride in that seat, but the DAL captain could (if he chose to). Funny how I can sit up front, but not in back! Anyway, the DAL captain overheard the conversation and never offered to ride in the FA seat so that I could ride up front and get home (it was only a 1 hour flight), instead he smiled and waved "Bye bye" as he headed down the jetbridge. I had to get a hotel room and wound up getting home at 2pm the following day.

Wow...thats just wrong. :mad: I would ride in the cargo compartment if they let me to help a fellow pilot get home.....

It is an option, most 200's do not have it.

I think some of the DAL guys have lingering issues with comair...probably over things that happened before Lowlevel even worked there :rolleyes:

I did see that CRJ200's had the option and Pinnacle once had the extra JS, but I don't ever recall seeing one.

Yep, and he was an older guy. It was that David Spade "Ba bye" wave too:mad:

Wow, maybe you should check this out: UAL 232: The Sioux City Crash

Bad idea...the problem is that if non-pilots becomes eligible for the cockpit jumpseat, the day after that is set in stone they will IMMEDIATELY start pushing for JS access based on seniority, ie DOH! A lot of senior FA's would have a much easier commute to work and a lot of pilots would be SOL. Remember FA's don't have a retirement age...their seniority keeps accruing until they petrify.

If you had been any other carrier other than Comair, you most likely would have gotten on that flight. Heck, even a Mesa or Gojet guy would have had a better chance than a Comair guy. While many view those two carriers in less than a favorable light, their actions have had less of a direct impact on the DL pilot group than some of Comair's actions. Not saying it's right, just that the Comair group has the biggest target right now.

She said it was in the cockpit. If true, I sure hope they will be added somehow in the CASS verification system.

Just a question. I assume from your profile that you are furloughed from Comair. My question is if Comair furloughees maintain jumpseat privileges or non-rev privileges or both while on furlough? If you do I think that's great. I'd just like to know how it works incase there's something we could do at ASA to get something similar. I realize that Comair is owned by Delta and ASA is not. Just wondering if there is anything ASA could do for their furloughees.
