I was non-revving and saw a friend of mine from Jet Blue listed as a JS, so yes, they show.
He was surprised to see me....I said I knew you would be there. |
Really, four minutes out of our scripted, controlled, and at times boring work life to walk up to the gate and back is that difficult? Think how you'll feel when you discover a commuting pilot being detained and the look on the agent's face when they are professionally encountered.

I brief gate agents we will close 3 minutes prior to push unless the cargo doors are closed early. We aren't faster than the cargo doors, so no point in closing the main cabin door ten minutes prior to push. I tell them to put it on me if they feel they need to,otherwise put it on cargo.

Just a friendly reminder for those of you who don't commute and for some reason aren't aware:
Take a moment off your life to walk up to the gate and see what's going on with your cockpit nonrevs about ten minutes before close. Lest you leave with two RJ pilots in your cockpit while a United Airlines pilot is left behind because you were too busy or lazy to make a decision or worry about anything other than yourself. Thanks for reminding me how selfish I am. And God forbid someone lets that RJ trash on his airplane.... |

Nothing about this reminder is friendly. It is insulting.

No, what's insulting is one of my fellow aviators deciding to leave with his jumpseats filled with non-United employees, without even bothering to see who it might be that wants a ride.
That's fine. No need to call the rest of us lazy and self-centered. |

Pretty sad post there. Many of us were "RJ Trash". When I left the military it was ugly and "RJ trash" was the only gig. It didn't last long for me "I was extremely lucky" but I dont forget what it's like waiting for the call. I try to make sure I never push with an empty seat unless my FO or I have made the walk. It's just common courtesy. That "RJ trash" may be the ride you or your family needs some day. Would you have the balls to call them trash when asking for an OMC?
Wow. Settle down. Take your blood pressure meds. I was VERY much joking. Tongue in cheek. Sarcasm. Making fun of the OPs post. Jeepers. |
