She was prbly one of the women hired straight out of riddle in the early 80s. Most of them don't have a clue because they never had to work their way up.

I have never had an issue with the friendliness of crews. Both old and young. I have had the chatty crews where we talk the entire time in cruise and I have had the quite crews. I figure if their quite then they are just really tired or the CA and FO aren't really seeing eye to eye that trip.

One time I had an older AA crew that asked me if I was old enough to be an airline pilot or if I'm just wearing a Halloween Costume (it was the day after Halloween). Of coarse they were just giving me a hard time. They were very friendly.

So, that proves it! Everything my professors at (random aviation university) is true!

Every airline has their 5%ers who make it difficult on the rest of us. It is the one's who go above and beyond who make this job just a little bit easier.

One of those was an ASA captain who was a commuter himself. When the numbers come up, myself, on the JS, and three other NRs would have to get off because there is not enough weight in the back, and there are, apparently, no more sandbags anywhere in ATL that day. We needed about 300 lbs. Just so happened that this was two days after they imploded the old tower. His statement to Ops was great.

He told them, "I don't care if you have to haul chunks of concrete over from the old tower, I'm not going until I get the 300lbs." 15 minutes later, 300lbs of SKY magazines arrived.

I used to commute on ASA from CAE to DFW. Non stops 4 times a day and the crews were absolute Ladies and Gentlemen, kind, and very professional. Thanks to all my friends at "Acey".

Best I ever had was a CAL mainline capt who was with us when we timed out after a storm hit Newark. When EWR Ops got all snappy about us going back, he said "tell her it's Miller time, and Captain D is buying."

Absolutely love it!!

I had a Delta jumpseater the other day who didn't even acknowledge my existence. Gave him a "welcome home" at the conclusion of the flight and he got up to shake the captain's hand, glanced at me with a smug look and got off. I understand it is the 'Captain's jumpseat' but it takes two people to operate the flight, have the decency to be courteous to both of us.

Southwest guys are always the absolute best to jumpseat on. Very classy and always friendly.

It's pretty hard for a captain to have much conversation with a jumpseater on the vast majority of UA's 757 jumpseats because the (only) jumpseat is directly behind the captain's seat. And in order for me to see the jumpseater without doing an exorcist style neck-twist, I have to slide the seat back where his or her feet used to be. I do my old-guy best though.

Only one guy ever got the hairy eyeball though, and it was Spike, with blue jeans and iPod earbuds. I asked him if he had any real pants in his backpack, and we got along real nice after said yes and put them on.

Get over it. What a Sally. You are a fool for taking it personally and a bigger fool for crying about it here. Be happy you got a ride.
