I've got friends working at EDW. They refer to him as "Chuck Yeager Inc." and say his family is FUBAR because of his ego.
I met "the Nose" Hoover, and had him sign some stuff at Reno. Came across as a really great, modest guy. Hope he lives forever...

Sounds like the cousin of the mainline pilot who looks at the regional guy on the jumpseat and says "So you got your stuff in with mainline? When you gonna come over?" As if it's as simple as the regional guy just walking into the chief pilot's office and saying "I'm a pilot! I'm here to fly, just point me to the gate!". After some very long 6-leg days in and out of some of the most effed up airspace in the country, it would take every fiber of my being not to come back with a doe-eyed and sarcastic "Gee mister, do you think I should!? I'm a real good pilot, honest!"
Or maybe they're just trying to be nice. Maybe they understand a lot of dudes are stuck. Maybe they're trying to make you feel like if they had anything to do with it they'd be glad to have you next to them up front. Sorry your butt hurts. Merry Christmas.

Not a flight deck issue labbats. It was w KCM line issue that pushed Skippy's button to the point indicating it was solely an issue with F/As. Not defending or condoning the behavior of the F/A. Frankly it was none of Skippy's business as he works for an airline and not for TSA which dealt with the issue in a manner they felt appropriate at the time.
The crewmwmber has every right to submit a letter of complaint to the TSA with copies to the Airline. Likewise the TSA agent has the right to submit a letter of complaint to his/her supervisor against the F/A as well.
At the end of The day, I will wager the issue took no more than 3 minutes the resolve. Unfortunately F/As and cockpit crews are not exempt from inappropriate conduct... but again their are remedies to the bone heads.

Merry Christmas! Sorry for whatever is happening in your life, and hope it gets better soon.
Exactly. Criticism of this may come as across as chafing to the anti-authority crowd, or those who think you magically become a different pilot when you move from commercial to ATP?
FFDO establishment has little to do with flying a plane and more the bizarre fantasy that logical people recognize as fantasy.
I don't nominate any tools today, Merry Christmas y'all.
