"Jetblue--the May thru August Airline"--Conan O'Brien

Good post. Something tells me that if there are doctor or lawyer message boards out there, they're nothing like Flightinfo. This place makes pilots look like retarded preschoolers.:nuts:

You got that right. This place just sort of sucks you into being a retard! I am guilty!

 

[GogglesPisano]

No offense to anyone with a challenged pre-schooler. I should have said retarded lab monkeys.

I should have said retarded lab monkeys.

Listen, you jerk! One of my closest friends in the world is a retarded lab monkey. "Zoom-Zoom" is one of the nicest, dearest souls on the planet.
You shouldn't paint with such a broad brush, SCHMUCK!

Whoa!

I'm pretty sure this place wasn't intended to be the Algonquin Round Table. It's a chat forum for a bunch of pilots.

It's intellectual isometerics. You might strain, but nothing will move. If there is a benefit it is from the 3 or 4 chocolate chips of useful information you'll find in each vat of cookie dough here.

[Intentional avoidance of "expectations" discussion here]

There's a telling character study in here somewhere. As homogeneous as we are (all in, or seeking, the same profession), there are those among us who focus only on the individual differences. We can't conceive that any rational pilot (oxymoron?) could hold a political or social view that is contrary to our's. Others revel in the differences and come here only to bait those who are safety-wired to the pi$$ed-off position. Like poking a critter in a cage. The "baiters" (eg: SWA/FO, one of several Master Baiters) recognize that those who come here only to vent are more than willing to rise to the bait and unleash their simmering noun and adjective fury (correct spelling and syntax optional!).

For my part, I come here as a distraction and for a bit of inspiration. I enjoy broadband repartee with others who are willing to display some wit and humor (eg: B.Chef, AirBadger, Magnum!, etc) even if I don't agree with them on every issue. The protean characters among us make it interesting and get my juices flowing so I can change screens, and make a little extra coin by tapping a keyboard.

"Algonquin Round Table" - funny, where is Harpo when you need a good quip.....

Everything else aside, I don't know where you guys are located but I was right smack in the middle of that storm, flying and driving. I don't care what kind of deice fluid/equipment you use nobody once they landed in PHL was getting out of there after about 12:30 or 1pm (i would expect the same from NY). I took me about an hour to clean enough ice off my car just to see out the windshield. By the time I hit 95 northbound there was atleast 2 inches of solid (not slush) ice on the road.

Just about every person on this message board acts like a 5 year old! As a group the pilots who post here have absolutly nothing of value to post. I can log of this message board for a year and then log back on it will be the same childish bickering back and forth! Nothing changes on this board! We would like nothing more than to see every other pilots airline fail so we can kick them when they are down! We would all jump for joy when another airline goes down in flames so we can pick those dead crewmenbers actions to pieces and then post a trival comment like "GOD SPEED" we are happy to see each other lose all our money and pensions, we are glad to hear about each others famalies and children suffering during times of furlough! We willcall each other scabs and then turn around and steal from a blind person! We lie about how we will vote, we lie about how we voted, we make our selves look like Union Warriors and then will not show up for an informational picket. Thgen we will post about how we were there on the line carrying that sign in support of our Union brothers! We are scumbags, we are liers, all we care about is ourselves! Callit like it is! Every fuc$ing one of us on this board are inmature pieces of shi$! It is unreal watching us on this board! We have no credablity left! Do any of us want to share the cockpit with any person who acts like this on Flight Info dot com? I cant believe any of us got hired where we are! Lets call it like we see it! there is nothing, nothing of value at this message board anymore! Nothing!

You been around long enough to know that FI has been always like this, that's alot of good people left this forum and moved on to set up there own pilot forum. Always amazes me the my airline is better then your airline mentally here, and then something like this comes up X airline gets kicked to the ground, but the truth is the very same issue effects all airlines. Its very rare I see support from one airline to another here.

This forum is entertaining, and guys like General Lee keep it that way. That guy stirs the pot continuously, and a lot of people cannot take it. When he brings up good points, people don't know how to respond and usually try to slam him, like that Wsurf guy trying to show what he looked like in High School. Chalk one more up for General Lee, and subtract one from Wsurf. Humor is good when it is connected to an actual point, not a slam on someone you don't know.

That is the only thing we ever see here! There is no valuable exchange of information anymore. This place is a joke!

If you ask an honest question, you will probably get an answer, but you may have to wade through some crud first. That isn't too much to ask for.

I think that only happened in your own mind. There are more than 100 UAL furloughees at JBLU.

Yeah and most of them are taking the RECALL back to UAL.
