Moral of the story, American goes out of their way to make our lives miserable

 

Yes, my english comprehension is at an 8th grade level. Yes, that was a d-bag comment from myself. The last couple eagle pilots I talked to came off a little high and mighty and I guess let me emotions do the typing. PFlyer has it right though.

The dollar goes to AE guys that have to pay to fly their own metal!

 

keep the dollar for actually having a classy comeback and admitting you can't read. That's rare on here I was expecting you to correct his grammar or punctuation or some other smartass defensive remark. Beer's on me!

 

Ha! To late for that after owning rental property there for over twenty years. Besides, I haven't found a better beach than Treasure Cay Bahamas anywhere. No joke.

 

Truly sorry to hear that. Things do seem worse just before they get better though.

 

Your correct in that the D6U is an unlimited category meaning there is no limit to the number allowed other than seats available. Delta does the same for all American pilots looking to ride. Most connection carriers follow suite with their mainline counterpart (I flew for ASA for 8 yrs before Delta). Oddly enough, when I got bumped in TCB, I had to haul butt to MHH 30miles away to catch the last flight off the Island. The FO on that flight just happened to be the JS rep for Eagle and was all over my issue. He confirmed that the "FLOW BACK" yes, "back", was correct and if there are empty seats, thats the number of JS allowed. He confirmed that the "Island" gals have attitude, no surprise there, and that he would call his MEC rep and also follow through on his next flight to the Islands in a week or so. My initial thread was more of a heads up to all possibly traveling to the Bahamas out of MIA on Eagle. When its one or two flights a day, it gets a bit dicey when you can be bumped by even a Flight Attendant.

 

I try not to over correct people and be a grammar nazi unless they have went out of they're way to be kinda dickish and correct someone else.

So...

American in your usage should always be capitalized. Proper nouns are always capitalized.

I am an American pilot.
I am an American pilot living in Hong Kong.
I am an American pilot that flies for Delta Airlines.

If you are going to go around correcting people, PLEASE get it right!

 

According to the Eagle FO that flew me off the Island out of MHH (Marsh Harbor), 30miles away from TCB where I was bumped, the D6U is correct just as written on my reservation, and there is no limit to the number of "Delta" pilots in the cabin since we reciprocate and do the same for American and American Eagle folks. This was an Island, agent attitude, not knowing how to do her job correctly issue. I just wanted to kinda warn anyone heading that way to be aware.

 

american american american american american american.




ps. I'm Canadian

 

I attended Catholic schools for 12yrs, and he is correct on the grammar issue. Proper Nouns are always capitalized. I can't spell my way out of a wet paper bag, so don't feel bad.
