Asking for the jumpseat and other lost traditions

[doubleo6point9]

Funny. I'm still fairly new to my company but the pilots rarely stay with the F/A's on more than one flight nor do we overnight at the same hotel except on rare occasion but I haven't heard any complaints yet. We typically check on hotels before a layover to make sure we don't grab the last van and leave the other but other than that I have yet to hear any complaints from any of the F/A's about it. Could be just a company cultural thing. If you need to bail to make a commute or whatever the F/A's usually just wish you luck.

Spice,

There is a huuuuuuuuuuuu

Gggeeeeeeee difference from what you wrote about tail swapping and abandoning your crew after go-home leg.

What about the hotel leg? Do you wait for all the passengers to deplane, even when the CA is upstairs waiting?

I love ya bud (no homo), but I think you are making this into a bigger deal than it really is.

 

[Nark]

@CFIscare you're totally homo for me...

I think the brain trust here is taking my advocation for courtesy as definitive, subservient attitude towards our cabin crew.
Shoot, to many syllables for a low tiered pilot...

 

[PhilosopherPilot]

Do you go in the rooms of your FA's to make sure there are no "boogie men" under the bed?

Yes, but only when she's hot. (Which means rarely, unfortunately.)


Edit: I just saw the later posts that say essentially the same thing. Better late than never!

The nice part of being based in Eastern Europe are the FA's. We had a lot of hotties

A junior FO with a 20K/year salary isn't their target category

Oh that doesn't matter for @Nark! When he hangs around for deplaning to finish, that will seal the deal.

Well....at least he thinks that!

Waiting around for the F/As aka the panty dropper.

[Toobdrvr]

I once had a Captain tell me: "The only pilots that help clean the plane are either bangin an FA, or trying to!"

Uh, nope.

And 6 months later he's begging to change base

Ha!

Uh, nope.

Or on your way to the aft lav.

 

[Nark]

@Seggy dont be jealous that the aft FA's never come forward to say hello.

 

[NC-Sean]

This. Being in a hurry generally leads to bad things. Being in a real hurry leads to real bad things.

Besides, running through the terminal to catch a flight makes you look like a dork.

I don't run. Ever. If I can't make it with a smart step, it ain't meant to be.

Oooo. Plural.

But! If there was a vacuum cleaner…

Actually they do!
