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.

 

[OCP]

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

 

[BenderGonzales]

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.

 

[DX Rick]

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

 

[av8er2]

It should be the same old "just do you job and nothing more".

 

[Inconceivable]

How insulting. As though you are some sort of 3701-type cowboys at any other time. I hope that the union is responding to him about this implied lack of profesionalism on a daily basis.

They have this:

But it's prly cheaper for Delta to put 'em on the contract carrier positive-space! ;-)

Sounds to me like Bryan just gave us a roadmap to success.

How stupid of him to point that out... yet another novice mistake.

Oh wait, now I'm talking like ASARJMAN! Burn it down! F$%K 'em all!

Of course you believe something BL says Wil. You're buying his bs and trying to influence everyone else that you, only you, well, maybe JB and ohShet too, know what's best.

So are we to believe everything the union puts out as gospel? I prefer to look/read "between the lines" (I learned this from you!) of union BS and company BS and draw my own conclusion. As of right now, I believe the union is over reaching and will eventually cost us our jobs.

If you want to win anyone over to your side, you really ought to tone down your "Angry, Bitter, Old Man" rhetoric. Try putting something intelligent behind your rationale instead of visceral hatred. Convince us why you're right and I am not.

May we expect to see any kind of intelligent rebuttal from you, or will it just be more rhetoric painting any dissenters as fringe wackos? You're really not doing them any favors. You just make them look desparate. Don't counter the argument, just attack the person. Keep going, you only prove my case.

Slavery still exists, fascism still exists and communism is alive and well. Just ask the Chineese president, he was here last year. As for Nazism? Oklahoma bomber practised and preached this.
War hasn't solved anything. Pick up the book, "A soldier slave" and tell me what the war in iraq has done for our soldiers. Support the troops...bring them home!
