Is flying J different when flying with cons?

There has been numerous threads about AC staff flying in J, but my questions is, does J feel the same when more staff are flying J than revenue?

I was on a recent YEG-YVR flight and out of the nine J seats, there were two SE, one *G and the balance were AC staff, Pilots, first officer and F/A.

All I head was shop talk including the Jazz F/A yapping on his cell phone after we landed bragging about the friends and family fares and how to hook up friends onto the system.

Did I enjoy the trip, being surrounded by AC staff taking away the F/D from focusing on me, who is paying to be on the plane?

I was flying with cons once. But I think they were about to become ex-cons.

It was pretty difficult. They were in shackles, and I was finishing my first scotch and soda, when they started to rebel in the back of the plane.

I think they were being escorted by US Marshalls.


It certainly is different flying with cons.

Calling AC front line staff cons is not nice.

The only cons working for AC are in management.

Deadheading crew are not "cons" -contingency passengers traveling non-rev standby.

Edited to add: that doesn't excuse their behavior.
