There used to be jetway assignments, occasionally. A person would meet you in the jetway and give you the assignment. You had no option, but to take it. It often happened on your last fly day. Now they do the same thing via acars.

This whole extending a REG pilot at the end of his rotation is complete bull. Extending a pilot to pick up extra legs on his last day should pay green slip pay at the very least. This whole REG line pilot being used as a hot reserve is a big ol' pile of malarkey. I get the occasional reroute mid trip or delays outside the company's control, but the extra legs added on is extremely jive turkey.

Deahhead, Way, way back in the day... Ron Allen (the less gifted RA) refused to hire and the 727 SO position was flogged worse than the skinny guy in the slave galley. Guys were assigned trips enroute, in the jetway, at the bottom of the airstairs as they tried to escape and in the employee parking lot. I do not exaggerate (although I'm the parking lot thing didn't happen too much.) The bow wave these guys amassed was huge and eventually screwed away by ALPA in a side letter/agreement. (Bow wave was where your time went over 70hrs.) There might be a very few guys left that experienced that but I would guess most are retired or dead.

Hey I admit it. I am an anachronism. My phone is paid for and I use a service that I pay for by the minute. I RARELY use more than about $10/month. I would like to delve into the smartphone world, but the contracts and monthly cost blow me away... I can make a slip payment for my sailboat (which I don't have either).
What's a sandy phone? handy??
