The Air Wisconsin crew who landed 5 minutes in front of us last week. Even after the hotel van driver told them we were staying at the same hotel, they convinced him to leave. 25 minute round trip.

I don’t believe in karma...but I’m pretty sure when you act like tools, others will treat you as such.

Before 117 min rest that was 100% legit at the regional level.

Did you adjust their wake up calls when you got there? Sometimes karma is self-service...

Companion Pass Rider TOTD
 
This lady, on a companion pass, posts a cursing rant to a Facebook against AA after being denied boarding for inappropriate attire. Actually records herself cursing AT the gate agents.

If I was the employee who let her use my companion pass, I’d be slightly miffed.

And you don’t think a Delta crew has ever done that to someone else? Before I was at Delta, I had a a Captain tell us we should take the next van. We left in the first van.

How about we wait 10 minutes for another crew (same airline), then they dash off as soon as the van parks at the hotel....... just so they can get to the sign-in sheet before us. I’ve seen this many times. Some guys aren’t smart, others are self centered.

The problem with "the next crew will be here in 5 minutes" that in my personal experience that is a lie 100% of the time. Sign up for 5 and you're stuck for 15 (and then after 15 you end up leaving without the other crew anyway). Don't blame the other crew, it's the transportation providers who don't provide adequate vehicles and then are unable to give a proper estimate that are the problem.

It's different when they were four miles behind you final, and you know it. Flip side, I have left without a crew the driver wanted to wait for when there was no other plane (or LDG lights) in sight at a small field. It's at least 15 minutes from long final to curb.

This made me chuckle. We actually had a certain airline crew tell us we needed to take the next van while curbside in BHM. It's amazing how some people are in their own universe. :rolleyes:

One of the coolest things I’ve witnessed....so we walked to the far end of the terminal in DFW to find that KCM was out of service. While walking back to the normal security line, I see a pilot for an Air Line that is no longer based there and inform him that KCM was down, just to be nice. He rapidly turned and corked us off at the security line with a purpose. Guess he really had to make his Atlanta commute:)

I'm sorry, what is corked off with purpose?:confused:

We were 10 feet from security line, he spun around rapidly and filled that 10 foot gap with himself in an instant.

Did you give them a wind check or tell them to just worry about monitoring guard?

Nah. I just gave him a nice “well you’re a real *******, have a nice day look” and didn’t give it a second thought. I’m simply so far beyond giving a flying **** about most of life’s trivial bull****. I was happy my FO wasn’t out side yet to witness the douchebaggery though. He was a younger fella that was wound up a little tight and would get riled up over minor stuff. I guess watching a throw down between a crusty old man and a twenty something could’ve been entertaining.

I don't know, but it's never happened on any crew I was with. But I guess you have.

I get your point, but I do blame the other crew. We landed within minutes of each other, on the gates right next to each other nearly simultaneously. But it was a regional jet so they got done sooner. The driver told them he was there for us too and they convinced him to leave anyway.

I think you are, which is similar to the Wisconsin D bag situation......If you walked up to a van and witnessed no active loading but another crew was already seated, they had been waiting for you at least a few minutes. This realization would be an encompassing level of smart.

Given the above level of smart, common curtesy would dictate that you would let them check in first (not self centered).

Most guys get this....

Heck, I can top this. Once had a deadheading COMPANY crew on my transcon flight to the East Coast. The pilots were in the forward rows and their F/As were in the back of the plane.

They not only got off quickly but then took the van leaving BOTH crews behind (mine and theirs)!

Talk about dbaggery.

Yep, for sure. A little dense on that one, but completely agree.

Mega-super-maxi dbaggery. I'd be very inclined to go have a conversation with that crew when I got to the hotel.

I'm glad to say, however, most of the interactions I've had with my own company's crews and other crews have been respectful and pleasant.

But there are always a few...

TiredSoul 07-27-2018 12:52 PM

Question is did they tip the van driver $1?

I let THEIR F/As take care of it. Those girls were hot enough to (fill in the blank).

Well, if the van runs on a schedule, I don't see a problem.
