I personally liked the CAL landing in STL because a pax tried to open the door because as he reported, "I was having a bad day". Seriously?

The article is wrong. It wasn't a flight attendant who tackled the perpetrator. It was a non-rev pilot.

And the individual likely won't be suspended from work, have their pass privileges revoked or be charged for the diversion costs. I flew AA 142 JFK-LHR last week in F and the cabin was filled with JetBlue employees traveling to London for a vacation. Fairly pleasant group to fly with but the certainly got their service charges worth of free booze and attention from the purser. One would think than when flying as a non-rev on another carrier let alone in international first they'd be a little more appropriate.

You are a piece of work, but we already know it's about 'YOU'...

I've said it before and I'll say it again: you need to hire your own private jet and keep your cranky, unappreciative, self-appointed privileged butt off of commercial airlines. How DARE you criticize one of our employees for aiding and helping subdue an unruly passenger. When an event begins to unfold during a flight you have no idea how far it will escalate. We found out on September 11, 2001 how far some people are willing to go. Your ignorant and inappropriate comment is far beyond intelligent comprehension. I agree totally with poster xUT. You are a real piece of work.

As far as the JetBlue employees, this "fairly pleasant group" has every right to be there and partake in all aspects of the first class service. Getting their money's worth for the service charges they pay is of NO CONCERN of yours. You sound jealous. GOOD!!!! Why do you care anyway? Your company is paying for your ticket. Am I right?

Josh, even though I am no longer a f/a and have retiree travel benefits available to me (40 years in the industry), I CHOOSE to buy my tickets and yes I fly f/c (old habits die hard). As a full fare paying pax I do not begrudge anyone the services received in f/c. There are many people on many different kinds of upgrades, travel benefits and company paid travel. I do not fit into any of those categories because I PAY for my own ticket. Depending on the flight (and the crew) it might be perceived that I am a company employee but you know what they say about assumptions... Give it a rest and just enjoy getting from point A to point B safely and remind yourself flying is simply a means of transportation.

I now realize my post was unclear-I meant to say if a non-rev interfered with the flight and tried to enter the cockpit would their NRSA privileges be suspended, disciplined at work, etc. I'm not complaining about the NRSAs from JetBlue on my flight-I was just pointing out that 9/14 passengers in F were NRSAs. They were very pleasant and we even chatted about things to do in London. Every job has its perks. Employees of car companies get vehicles at substantial discount, employees at the Four Seasons get rock bottom room rates, and airline employees get NRSA privileges.

But yes you are correct I did not pay for my ticket.

That's a pretty piss-poor attempt to backtrack on what you said. You sound like and have the credibility of a slimy politician.

Let me quote you: " Fairly pleasant group to fly with but the certainly got their service charges worth of free booze and attention from the purser. One would think than when flying as a non-rev on another carrier let alone in international first they'd be a little more appropriate." Oh, no, that's not complaining. Not in the least.

Utterly pathetic.

A "high-roller" on a mechanic's board - need more be said?

For what it's worth, there used to be a little more decorum when traveling as a non-rev... the policy when I started was that we were supposed to be invisible... I don't see that as much anymore.

I am sure the Jet Blue employees had enough "class" as any other non rev or paying pax onboard that day.. Jet blue treats us AA "employees" very well. Thanks to B6, a lot of commuters at AA have a much easier time getting to work. I always enjoy reciprocating when I have them on board. I am more than confident if any non-rev exhibited inappropriate behavior in J, the Purser would nip it in the bud.

It's always interesting to listen to these stories on the news. They always say "tried to open", they forget to add with the aircraft pressurized it would take Superman to open that door.
