Be On Good behavior To XNA Says Scott

[ASARJMan]

WalMart having a shareholders meeting in Benton, and ASA is putting 700s in place of 200s on the runs. They're will be Delta VPs on board, so Scott wants ya'll to be good little pilots and don't po those Delta boys. Be careful out there, and as always, fly safe!

Okay...except it's Bentonville.

Probably not a good idea to make your p.a. as "Welcome to Benton, Arkansas" if you want to make a good impression.

Tell them we're going to 'XNA' instead, that works too!

We're not allowed to say that. It's the "Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport", not Fayetteville, Bentonville, or Springdale.

 

[screech]

Just call it bumfu*k podunk regional. "Where we always measure the tooth to tattoo ratio."

 

[Tomct]

Better Yet....write up the airplane for one of the many problems...(I'm Sure it has) and DELAY THEM!!hahaha:laugh:

That plus DON'T call for fuel, catering, & cleaning all of which you won't have!!!

Yeah, Bentonville. My bad.

Let's just keep calling it "zena". Thats ok right?

There's already a whole thread about that:

Seriously though, anybody else surprised that the Delta higher-ups don't have a corporate aircraft or, at the very least, a share at Netjets or something?

 

[SplitBar]

On your arrivial announcement be sure to call it Fayetville and don't mention Bennetonville at all. That alwasy pissed off a lot of the locals. Mesaba even put on an XJ-Memo on the topic and they said to be sure to include Bennentonville in the announcements. Like they got nothing better to worry about.

That doesn't stop ASA management from taking an RJ for their jaunts. They've even picked them up in Peachtree City!

Delta owns the old CMR outfit, Delta Shares or something, flying the little Rjs (Challengers).

 

[Airboss]

Call the airport what it is...Walmart-Tyson international.

 

[Leroy Smith]

I chuckle at the ASOS recording. A lot of places its hard to make out the airport name, not Xena.

"NORTHWEST.
ARKANSAS.
REGIONAL.
AIRPORT.
Automated weather observation 1715 Zulu. Wind ............"

xna is a hillbilly sh|thole. worst overnight eva. Bibles and no booz. hicks banging their own sisters/brothers. No thanks!

If you have ever been to walmart (every one has) and see that guy in the back corner grabbing his wifes/sisters arm real hard and yelling at her through his clenched teeth about generic diapers. Take that x 20 and there you have XNA. needs to be firebombed.

next question

 

[FurloughedAgain]

Hey man...some of us LIVE here. Lighten up a little bit would ya?

 

[labbats]

Well congratulations. You didn't have to marry your sister to get the flight bennies. She's already family!

 

[ex j-41]

I wonder if the Delta CEO get put up in the hotel on the hill....miles from food, water, civilization.

 

[sweptback]

Again guys, it's not Delta VPs and the like going to XNA. Why would they care about the Walmart shareholders meeting?

It'll be frequent fliers, the platinum medallions and the like. No different from any other flight, except there will be a greater percentage on board.

We had an FO at C8 make an announcement something like "Ladies and gentleman, we have gone ahead and taken off the seat belt sign. So feel free, stand up, run a few laps around the track and use the can. Jan is your FA back there, she is 25 yrs old, divorced 3 times and has 7 kids in her double wide back at home in Danville, IL. Go ahead and use that call button all you like, even if you dont need her. Use her and abuse her, just they way she likes it."

dummy didn't know he had G.M. onboard from ATA along with some other ATA big wigs.
So I think he's being nice and giving you a heads up.

That being said, like Tomct said. Write the airplane up, and delay the hell out of the flight
