Ehhhhhhh it may have your paint on the side, but you still don't have seat in the back until we say OK.

if it's his paint on the side, could he potentially be non revving?

Potentially, but then there's no reason to stop up front in the first place.

Not always... If i'm deadheading or pass traveling I'll stop by just to say hi every now and then if it's not busy or if i'm not in anyone's way as a courtesy.

Being angry all the time seems exhausting.

You would think, but somehow the angry, vitriolic ones seem to live forever.

I don't quite get it.

Please, enlighten us as to how introducing yourself when deadheading or non-revving is useful.

I would prefer only those who seek the jumpseat (controlled by the Captain), visit and ask. Deadheading, you're being paid to sit in the seat. That's a contract between you and the company. Just go sit down. Non-rev? That's a company issued benefit - you don't need a certificate or medical to do it, just go sit down.

We have guys at our shop who scold company employees for not "checking in to say hi" during boarding. It's a huge distraction. I'm not sure why some are so hell-bent on getting interrupted.

On behalf of Compass pilots, I apologize for this Gorshoon tool. There's always a rotten apple in every barrel.

Well unfurl the spinnaker!

This thread should switch to decaf.
I hear it's pretty good...

 

[Screaming_Emu]

But my plane has handlebars. Just sayin'.

FIFY

"Yoke"

Brazilians haven't quite figured out what it's supposed to look like yet or where the pivot point should be.
