Never had a problem with any LCAL pilots on my airplane. I did however have an issue with an LCAL F/A on Sunday while deadheading from SEA to DEN. I can't use the appropriate term on APC to describe her but if she was a puppy she would have been the runt.
Just FYI according to our lovely little princess who made it a point to molest me with her opinions at least once every 15 minutes. I was supposed to take my ID off when traveling on a "Continental" airplane because they could tell I was a United guy and that makes them mad. Because of me on a scheduled dead head they had to Kick off paying customers, Continental pilots don't do that. I was supposed to help all the passengers put their bags in the overhead before I sat down. Gordon Bethune is friends to this day with all Continental F/A's. Jeff Smisek hangs out with LUAL pilots and considers them friends (seriously). The "United" reservation system is causing problems. Those are just the highlights. But you get the idea.

Last week on my trip everything went great. We were on time everywhere we went all of our maintenance items were fixed and we received our MRD's before push time. We never once had to wait for final weights. This place rocks I LOVE working here and I see nothing but positive cash flow and stability for the future. Looks like we will be getting our next contract with huge pay raises and QOL increases a year early and Jeff has decided to voluntarily step down and let a competent leader take the reins.
See I am incapable of telling a lie.....But the F/A story is for real.

No, Short, I wasn't. The "whale of a tale" was all hers. None of what she said rings true or even makes any sense. It's hard enough working towards unity without having an FA slandering one side while ridiculing the other. They've got their own axes to grind, from griping about serving our crew meals ("I hope you can get it in your contract too" I said pleasantly) to being miles away from a contract ("yes, that's got to be difficult" I said sympathetically followed by "we'll take our meal after the initial cruise PA, thanks so much.").
