Time to drag this out again...

If I was in the reserves that’s probably something I would want to know before I put my huge foot in my mouth. Like having a check airman on the jumpseat, it’s nice of them to give you a head’s up.

Context and attitude are important.

WGAS if your Jumpseater is a general, even if you are in the reserves. Anyone that’s leads with their rank is a douche bag

Our roles and responsibilities here are determined by seniority and seat position. I severed my relationship with the military when I got out don’t let anyone’s current or former rank establish some sort of pseudo pecking order.

When someone introduces themselves with their fighter name I get skeptical of how things are gonna go on the trip (add in hat, coat and brain bag, yikes!)

I do have to say though, having been enlisted and taking the long, hard road to get here, the positive comments and encouragement from most military pilots have been nice to hear.

For sure. Well here’s some context. He came down with the wheelchairs, hung out in the doorframe the entire boarding while all the non-middles filled up and then plopped his ass down to play flight engineer for the ride south. We pushed with roughly 120 souls and this genius on the jumpseat.
