Douche must be trying to get a job at ALPA. Do they hire such moronic idiots?

Dbag spends all his time on SW threads bashing and attempting to talk smack. I guarantee you he doesn’t commute on us and if he does, he’s had zero issues.

Douche, I’m sorry you couldn’t get an interview here but it was obviously the right choice. It appears as if you’re a cockpit cancer and thank the good Lord I’ll never have to share a cockpit with you.

Oh, I’m sorry... was I supposed to be taking you seriously??

I usually don’t even read your posts and really don’t care how you take mine.

So....

Contacted my union reps to see how SWAPA is responding to the CASS issue... the response? Doesn't seems to be a priority for SWAPA...

Non SWA pilots are getting more and more frustrated with the lack of change.

Users on APC are outright flippant with middle finger salutes...

Yeah right, I’m sure your reps said exactly that. Shouldn’t you be on the TOTD thread in a repeating star performance. What an a$$.

Why anyone who works at SWA keeps responding to this troll is beyond me. 108 posts in and it is the same crap. Just stop replying.
Yes it is an issue. Yes swapa is putting pressure on the company to fix it. If you get denied a jumpseat, you should get a cabin seat. Not many flights going out full these days, but if you don’t make it to work, you have our sincere apology.

UAL internal memo just posted saying the issue at SWA has been resolved and offline cockpit access should return to normal today. While I don’t commute (at this time), I know many do and historically SW has been wonderful to offline pilots. I can only think of two (I’m sure there are more) airlines today that allow you to just walk up and ask an agent for a jumpseat on a flight. Delta and United. In less than 40 seconds you have a printed jumpseat pass or a boarding card with a seat assignment. What happened to everyone else? This MyIDTravel kinda sucks but I guess if you want to offline travel, it is how the game is now played (I used to use AA on my commute from time to time and hated this process).
Thanks to any of you who helped get this fixed at SWA. I know many of our PHX/LAS commuters to LAX and SFO especially are relieved (as is UAL who had to buy seats in many instances to prevent international cancellations as widebody pilots called in honest over the last month).

My last 2 commutes on SWA have both had well over 10 OTA commuters going along with me, both in and out of uniform. On both flights, 2 OTA commuters were able to get FD boarding passes without any issues.

I won't try to deny or dispute other people's reports of problems because yea sometimes the system doesn't owrk, but I'm just not seeing a systemwide jumpseat meltdown over here.
