United pilot gets a nod

[Jurassic Jet]

I say good on this guy! :beer:

He understands it is all about the passengers. (And yes I do understand that management is directly responsible for the clusterf##k of mis-managing the monies that those passengers provide).

I contrast this guy against an experience I had on UAL this past summer when I took the family to HNL.

We sat on this UAL 777 for 3.5 hours on a MX delay in HNL without a single word from the Captain. We would get an update about once an hour from the gate agent. After 3.5 hours the flight was cancelled.
Never heard from or even saw the flight crew. Kind of glad actually after sitting there for so long and then still having to fly to DEN.

We did get all the ice water we could care to drink while we waited though.

But hey...we did get 10 bucks of vouchers to eat with the next day. Anyone that has been to HNL should be able to detect the sarcasm regarding this issue.

Guys need to let go of their egos with this job. There is absolutely NO prestige to go along with it anymore. (Is that why you got into it anyways? Did you look forward to strutting throught terminals commanding awe and respect???)

We are simply blue collar workers that happen to wear a white collar shirt.

No but I have read several stories about Doctors who do things for their patients above and beyond sticking a finger up their ass and telling them to cough. .

Um, I think he is doing that test wrong.

Unless of course you are in prison.

While I think CA Flanagan, as portrayed in the media, provides a fine example of the manner in which we should all handle ourselves at work, apparently there's more to the story. Too bad . . .

I can teach a monkey how to fly a 767, dealing with people and having them enjoy their trip makes them buy tickets again.

Wow, you must be so smart because flying a 767 is so easy to you that you think a monkey can do it. Gee you are really smart and that is a great subtle way of trying to show everybody how smart you think you are.

I'm sure there are a few paxs that would like their asss wiped in the lav, their nose blown when they sneeze, their mouth wiped after each bite of food. Give this guy some time........I'm sure he can find ways to be REAAAALLLLL accomodating.

 

[FlyFastLiveSlow]

Didn't I just clarify that?

Besides, it's.....

"Roger, Roger."
"Huh?"
"Roger."
"What?"

Clarence was the FE.

Clarence was the CA actually.

CA Clarence Over
FO Roger Murdoch
FE was Victor

Wasnt Clarence the F/O
And The Capt Roger?

I seem to remember Abdual Jabar being Clarance?
I don't know but Victor got the Vector.

Even more rare, a passenger who paid full fare!!

After reading this thread I am no longer defending this dude. Too much getting in other people's business.

I can't even comprehend some mainline assclown calling up my chief pilot to tell him how he thinks I should run my flight.

This guy sounds like he's borderline. People let it slide because he's obsessed with something socially acceptable like customer service instead of alcohol, conspiracy theories, etc.....but it is compulsive behavior nonetheless.

yeah, my bad too. Sorry Guitar Guy!:beer:

After I read that he asked the Captain where the PA announcement was, that would have pi$$ed me off as well!

"Compulsive behavior?" Please define. We're all waiting.

Read he above link on some of the things the guy has done while riding other pilot’s jumpseats. He doesn’t seem to be able to restrain himself in situations where it is blatantly inappropriate to do the things he does.


[FONT=&quot]Do you think it would be acceptable if he called your chief pilot to tell him how you should be doing your job? How about sitting in your jumpseat and lecturing you how to fly your airplane and calling you unprofessional? Passing out cards to your passengers and apologizing to them for the lousy job he thinks you did? Doesn’t seem to have a firm grasp of boundaries.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]

Giving out his personal phone number to hundreds of strangers?
The guy is a customer-service-aholic.

I think we need to follow this guy home and kill his dog.....
