So I just got back from Flightsafety on a LOFT. That place was crawling with newhire SkyWest guys using the ASA sims. As anybody who has ever spent some time at FSI knows, the break room (especially around the coffee machines) seems to attract pilots. I saw a bunch of SkyWest pilots standing around, so I went over to say hi. I'm exaggerating a little, but not much, when I say that pretty much everybody scattered like they were afraid of me!

Seriously guys, I don't know what y'all were told, but we're not out to get you. I just wanted to say hi and kill some time on break! You don't need to be afraid of us ASA boys and girls, we don't bite.
 
Sorry man, wish I was there. I would've enjoyed a nice chat. I think the new guys are fed some wierd sh!t in groundschool. You know, those fear grenades.
 
I would have liked that conversation too. The problem is that the schoolhouse is a zoo right now and every little thing is taken seriously. I have had good chats with a couple of ASA guys here in SLC. Its too bad things are get taken to the extreme.
 
Do they still have the free BBQ on every first wed of the month at FSI?
If so, I will go next time to chat with the SKYW dudes... and see what color their Ipods are...
 
You may not be out to get them, but they're out to get you. Don't be fooled, SkyWest is hiring our replacements.They're fed the Mormon Anti-ALPA Koolaide on day one and they never recover. Why? "There is more to a W2 than hourly rate."

I think you really meant to say "Skywest was at FSI using their Sim's" However your point was made and taken.

Good luck ASA!

Baja.

Again with this shi...? I'm Mormon and I work at ASA. I guess I missed the Ward meeting when they were handing out the Kool-aid. What do Mormons have to do with ALPA? Do you really think Skywest is the only airline that has Mormons? Maybe you should spend less time here and more time getting to know your fellow crewmembers. There are lots of us crazy Mormons running around ASA with our secret underwear and our Joseph Smith dolls and our many, many wives. I don't know any of them that are anti-ALPA.

I like a well-placed barb as much as anyone. Just try to use one that makes sense instead of one that makes you look like an A1-d!ckface. (Yes, Mormons do swear on occasion just like everyone else)
 
Yeah ReportCanoa...you're just a fetchin' fetcher!!!
 
Oh dear god- not more of this...........

DON't HATE THE PLAYER, HATE THE GAME..........Blaming Skywest for our (ASA) current condition is as prudent as pi$$ing into a 30 knot head wind. Feels good for a moment but in the end you will end up with stuff on your face.

they probably were afraid that you were Tomct and that you'd attack them blabbering and foaming at the mouth about how screwed they are and how ALPA will bring the company to it's knees and how they'd be next to 'get it' from Jerry and how anyone that doesn't get instant wood from being a Unionazi must be stupid and then he'd get really mad and piss his pants in a spastic fit.........


.........and they probably just didn't want to get any it on them.

ROFLMAO
 
Yea I thought the Skywest folks were pretty nice when I was in SLC. Now CVG is a different story with the Comair folks....For the Comair guys in CVG ...yea it was me who made all the decisions for ASA to move into CVG and do y'alls flying so please give me sh!t about it. Thanks

I've never had a Comair pilot be anything but ultra nice to me. In fact they are FAR more likely to make eye contact and give at least a smile or a nod when passing by in the hallway than my own companies pilots. Try knocking that chip off your shoulder and approaching one of them nicely. You'd be surprised what a good conversation you can have with those folks.


Cheers, Mr. Comair guy!:beer:
 
Whenever I pass through that dump of a city/airport CVG I will gladly acknowledge the ASA guys and gals. Most, and I say most of the OH crews will nod to the ASA crews. There are some a-holes here but that is with any company.

Okay then....



Why don't you take just one Mormon fishing...????


Because he'll drink all your beer!!!!!
 
I have a good attitude and am nice...so no chip on my shoulder here. I am by far not the only one that thinks this either. Why do you think most of us ASA peeps stay away from the Comair lounge. Seems like it is the older guys that are way more bitter. The younger Comair guys are pretty cool.
 
Not that my opinion matters here...

I'm just a dirty dispatcher and I've had plenty of good talks with ASA and SKW pilots in my travels...seems like you are all pretty decent folks. ALPA or no ALPA...iPod or no iPod...Mormon or not Mormon ( :) ), in the end...most of you guys are good folks that really need to ease up on being a bunch of feminine hygiene products to each other. Well, except Newman...you can all be a dick to him. ;)

And besides, in the grand scheme of conversation...it's those AA guys that are the real enemy.

Just remind that fella how much it was appreciated when Comair swarmed this sh$thole we call ATL a few years ago ;-)

But I digress. The Comair folks I have seen in CVG have been professional and friendly.

Wow...you must have pulled that "gerbil in a jar" out and inserted a D!cktionary for that rant! Don't worry, I have better things to do...like avoid ATL to the best of my ability. You on the other hand...come on down, I can't wait to see your "neat Shinny 900's!":rolleyes: Oh yeah...Jerry said that it made no "money sense to keep ASA and Skywst in SLC. Oooops...it does in ATL though.....RIGHT? :rolleyes: Don't worry....Jerry is filling up the punch bowl for you...
