I'll be looking in the "contract" to see if it has prohibitions against unpaid ancilliary, non-CFR mandated pilot duties.

You clean on DH's?

Oh right, you don't work here.

You ready for 2L? Evidence probably sucks the most, and I personally found criminal procedure fascinating. Also, make sure you bake in something reasonable to your schedule like business origination or secured trans. You don't want to stack all the required courses together at once.

I think he was talking about the non-rev the previous poster would have to do (to go directly home from LAX) instead of taking the deadhead to JFK then non-rev home. But either way the blue glove scenario pops up, cuz you're non-reving either way (unless you live in JFK). But remember guys and gals, YOU DON'T HAVE TO CLEAN.

You know there are other airlines besides JetBlue to jumpseat on, right?

Yes I do, but I was clarifying his position. Also, you can still use Jetblue, just DONT CLEAN.

Sorry but this is just pure BS. Delta, AA, UA, the only time I've ever gotten a first class/business seat as a commuter was on short flights on their regional partners at 5am. There's enough **** wrong right now at our company that we don't need to suddenly make up BS about getting to fly first class as an offline jumpseater.

No, you will never be able to sit in Mint, which is BS IMO, but that doesn't mean that DL, UA or AA is going to roll out the red carpet and put you up front on a transcon, when there are plenty of their own customers eligible to upgrade or fill those seats.

Sorry but I’ve gotten first many times on dl. United and American hardly ever but delta works out pretty good. I think they don’t upgrade on most transcons

That's weird, I commute across the country, and normally on AA, and I usually ride in first when there are seats open as an OAL jumpseater. To include getting put in flagship first on the JFK-LAX flight when I have to go thru LAX. DL normally puts me in their comfort plus...and I have sat in first on delta before as a JS. I also have not been offered to sit up there with open seats, so it's hit or miss...usually miss. I avoid UAL more than JB, so I can't comment on UAL, but their first is always full since they have free upgrades for everyone and their mom.

Red carpet treatment? No. But normally the pilots and/or FAs treat us pretty darn well.

I wonder if we have language in the TA allowing us to finally return the favor.

Just kidding. We all know it's a turd.
