Dang, I really thought “an anonymous wake up call on APC” would have done the trick. Keep up the good work, crusader for justice!

Had a UAL jumpseater on deck last night. Had no problems at all.

I got denied again last night (4th time out of 4 this month)

NK, let the union know every time, got a seat in the back twice, had to good it to another gate twice. Problem definitely still there. Maybe SWAPA should ask ALPA to take them out of the system until they can reciprocate. That might get management attention.

Embarrassing. Again.....sorry. Just imagine having to work for an airline that’s this IT dysfunctional. The sad part is that IT issues go YEARS without getting fixed. Our WiFi has been garbage for years. Our VNAV about the same for years now. Pardon me.....I need to go back to banging my head against the wall.

Yes, but what are YOU and the avg LUV pilot doing to motivate your union to motivate your company to fix this, all while LUV pilots are js'ing no problem OAL??

If you're in the gate area wearing a uniform, or have a badge on a lanyard, or even have typical pilot luggage for a flight I am operating, I'm gonna be asking you if you are commuting.

If you're commuting, I'll be telling you to make sure and come down after the preboards.

If I don't see you after the preboards, I'll be back in the gate area to find out why.

And just before the doors close I'll be back in the gate area (unless the Captain is doing "the walk" to see if there are any last minute runners, commuters, or non-rev.

The only thing I can't solve is the CASS issue, which means I can't help you if the flight is full. I'd be interested in your suggestions in what type of leverage your average line pilot has. We can't even get the company to implement IT projects for our own pilots that would benefit the company.

SWAPA is actively collecting data. I'm not sure what they're doing with it but there appears to be an effort underway to document and fix nonrev issues.
