Not all parents know about the antihistamine effects though (as mentioned above).

My kids are now late teens, but I clearly remember the joys of infant and toddler travel.

Yes I’d like a boob during the descent also pls :D

Get in line buddy......

Oh, they do something..drink, watch a movie, listen to music, play video games, etc! :rolleyes:

There are always boobs on descent...they're called pilots! :D :p

Parump pump! Touché!

The Frontier guy ...who yelled up to the cockpit last night saying thanks for the ride.
Me...When the captain coming out of the bathroom asked, “so how do you know that guy”...huh I thought you spoke to him up in the gate area.

Cmon guys...

Seems more and more common to have a jumpseater tell me he’s riding with us than ask for a ride anymore.

How do you know he was jumpseating?

exactly!

I fly for one carrier, but have flight benefits through my wife on another. I commute on the other carrier sometimes in uniform and will say thanks for the ride as I walk off assuming the pilots are standing up front. Everyone is so quick to assume there's a jumpseater not checking in with them.

Spirit buys us full fare tickets on other airlines all the time. I always say hi just to avoid the Larry David moment getting off.

Me, today, sneezing on the center pedestal.

Don't know why people make a fuss if someone came up and said hello when they have a seat in the back. I prefer it.

I travel for the military. On full-fare government tickets. Sometimes I buy tickets for personal travel. I bring my airline rollaboard, because it has all my stuff in it. I've been harassed for not checking in with the crew, and once even wrote a complaint about a DAL tool while traveling as a platinum miler.

If you're worried about policing non-compliant jumpseaters, check with the gate first to see if you actually have a JSer.

I’ve also been harassed by an Envoy CA while on a DH. After talking to the FO and FA, apparently he was notorious for this sort of thing.

Granted, I was not with a whole crew, so I can see how the optics might support his conclusion. His tactics were undesirable, to say the least.

My nomination is the heartless, hypocritical clowns who post terribly disrespectful things about Phil Trenary on social media. A man was executed in the street and they think it's a good time to disagree with how he ran Pinnacle AND say they're not unhappy he's dead?! Apparently, they were never taught if you don't have anything nice to say, DON'T say anything at all. :mad:

Being a free labor/market society, individuals have the freedom to jump ship from an operation if they feel they are being obused, mistreated, taken advantage of, underpaid, overworked... well you can add more. But for anyone to wish death is just not right.

I feel bad for the wife, children, and future grandchildren.

I’m sure when your time comes, with no ill will, of course, you’ll be sorely missed by only those love you.

There were already grandchildren..and thanks for making my point. No one forced anyone to work there OR stay there. Clowns!

Not forced to stay in a seniority based career?

Oh ok then you can both leave your carrier and start over tomorrow with no issues?

“If you don’t like it then leave” doesn’t apply to the airlines.

That said respect for the dead is always called for regardless of their transgressions.

Why? If they didn't earn your respect while they were alive, they certainly don't suddenly deserve it just by dying.

jeez, people these days just want to divide us.

Fact. He was doing a job, we don't like it, but no one deserves to be gunned down like that. Well, maybe a few politicians and IRS agents, but besides that...JK.

Sounds reasonable, I'm way past multiplying.

I’m an Adder, so watch out for my venom.

Divide and rule, in politics, sociology, and economics: a strategy to gain or maintain power.

So Orwellian... 1984 comes to mind with the above observation. Take charge of your career and destiny and not the airline taking control of your future.

I think I met this Guy. Under similar circumstances. Young, hair gel, smug and obviously a former astronaut, now gracing the cockpit of a Embraer. Called me out on a full fare ticket in S Fl. Not in uniform. Platinum status. I reminded him and said thanks again for the safe flight over my shoulder. Deuces Captain Cosmonaut.

Ever have a captain that won’t stop whistling even after you ask him to stop? Who the hell wants to listen to non-stop whistling at work? What the hell is wrong with this guy?

Isnt song or phrase for that? Whistle while you work? Or is that the 7 dwarfs?

OK, You've piqued my curiosity here, how did he even know to "call you out" if you were on a paid ticket and not in uniform?

Still shaking my head at the attitude that a paying passenger, whether in uniform or not, has some obligation to check in with the cockpit crew.

I’m guessing the “pilot” rollerbag and tags.

Hmmm, good point. I don't use such adornments, so that didn't occur to me.

You don't.

Flight bags. Rugged good looks. Flirting with flight attendants. Stealing snacks from the snack basket in fake RJ bidness class. The usual...

White socks........

Big, gold ray bans. Massive watch with an elt built in. Pleated polyester pants. Hawaiian shirt over a worn out Haines t shirt with yellow armpits. Smiling at people that can do stuff for me and ignoring everyone else. White new balance shoes in my rollaboard and a wife that spends all my $$$. That’s how he knew.

Oh, I agree, but there are some who will claim you do. Seems like this came up in another thread here, or maybe it was a another forum.

I’m posting this based on secondhand information from another forum, but thought it worthy of a TOTD nomination. The other day a SCAB traveling with his family tried to jumpseat on one of our aircraft. The CA went up the jet bridge and told him point blank he wouldn’t be allowed to occupy the jumpseat. I nominate the SCAB because -

1. He instead got a jumpseat card from the gate agent and showed up on the aircraft only to be told once again with vigor by the CA he wouldn’t be allowed to jumpseat. He whined that ‘this had never happened to him before’.

2. Since I guess he must be an ALPA dues payer now, he had the nerve to file a PDR with our MEC complaining about his treatment.

I have not had the misfortune of crossing paths with many SCABs, but his weaseling and sniveling fit my impression of a SCAB to a T. TOTD!

Was the scab from our company or another?
