Sub,
No worries brother it is what it is. It's not much greener over here but for the most part we go out of our way to at least get you on, if not upgraded.. We're not leaving the gate with empty seats knowing there are pilots waiting for stby seats.. Zed or cass doesn't matter for seats in the back. I almost always look around in the gate area for offline crew members its a small world.. Thankfully our fa's don't mind upgrading pilots from other companies if we ask them too.. You're always welcome on us.
Fly safe boys.
