NWA reports it, so it must be true

[Redmeat]

Geez, and all this time I thought that decision was made by the Committee of Unsecured Creditors. Who says you can't learn something on F.I.?

If one was to listen to you... all ya gotta do is don the Double Breastesee non-rev up to DCA...put the hat on an it's all over.

Get a clue new hire.

 

[Redmeat]

I wonder who was on that committee, maybe Redmeat can tell me, he seems to know everything.

I'll put it to ya simply...people whom Delta owed money.

New hire? I think he was hired in '96. He knows A LOT more than you do. Really. He rivals Occam in omnicent powers. And, you probably look like Goose from Top Gun in your goofy leather jacket.

You were Honolulu based? Yes. Will you ever be again?Don't know. Could happen. Now you are DTW based. Big difference. Ouch. And, the A320 won't get you to HNL. If you want to go, I would bid the 757 and try to get those flights from DTW via SFO, LAX, PDX, and SEA. (Yeah, I saw that in a timetable) And yes, a 14 day vacation to a tropical location would be better than 20 hours (although Rio is 36 hours, along with Santiago, Buenos Aires, etc). But, you always have to go back to Detroit. Not from my vacation. I said I don't live in my current base. Take a break from the timetable research and read the post.Not me. I also like it when someone else pays for my "mini vacation". Emphasis on the word "mini". Besides I didn't know you vacationed in MSP.

And no big surprise here, you'd be wrong, AGAIN! Not a riddle guy huh? Oh, that's right, you're a joke of a guy.

Wow! Good One!!

Thanks, I figured, even someone with limited intelligence such as yourself, you'd understand...

Clever!!

No, just honest!

Gee Wally I can't wait! Hey, did you resort to name calling again? Ahh mannn....

Thanks Sparky, just following your precedence. (I realize that's a bigger word than you're used to sport, but even YOU can figure it out.)Wow, thank God for that built-in spell check huh?

And 29 seats!

And with a flt. attendant less than 80 years old....But wait, at least the age of the airplane matches!:laugh: But you said it was the same as a DC9!

Really? Would ya like to compare dispatch reliability numbers for the -9? You're either a former waterskier or a former DullesDweller. Nice to be outta there huh? BTW, You look pretty dumb when you go out and try to spin the props after shutdown on your 737.
Not as dumb as asking for that heading!Haven't asked for a heading in my Airbus in a while. Reading comprehension is a tough one for you isn't it? Quick! Where am I based?

So was it waterski or ACA? Or maybe one of the many third world airlines that fly J31's and J41's. Or maybe you were a lav dumper/donut server on some corporate Junkstream? So you know what a punkalouver is right?


For the last time, step OVER the wing spar

Its all in the past, and still better than having to excuse yourself while waddling your fat ass to the back of the "trusty 9" walk of shame lav visit!Again, reading comprehension...I don't fly the "trusty 9" although if I did I would use the forward lav. See, that's closer to the "pointy end" where the pilot's sit. Besides, I'm sure you're the expert here on "shame in the Lav" so I'll defer to you on that.

Now go pull those props through, K?

He rivals Occam in omnicent powers.

Wow! I knew Occam was omniscient, now I find out he's "omnicent" too!

I really think he's cool now.

 

[~~~^~~~]

DTW:

Can you, or Occam, confirm that your MEC hired the same law firm that represented US Air East?

 

[General Lee]

Wow! I knew Occam was omniscient, now I find out he's "omnicent" too!

I really think he's cool now.

Thanks DAD for the spell check. Regardless, you can't change the fact that you fly mini-busses out of Detroit. Do you get gas just thinking about commuting to DTW? You probably do. Enjoy that.

Too bad you haven't figured out how!

These threads really couldn't get any more ridiculous.

One thing though, i think we can all agree that the GL should get over his over inflated sense of self worth. Bragging about aircraft and overnights, again lame . You sit around and get a chubby thinking about your airplane and overnights away from home yet you post on here more than anyone else, I guess the overnights, ooppss sorry i meant "mini-vacations" aren't that fun after all.

Que the GL commenting on enroute charts, headings, sids/stars, echo, echo uke:

So, how's it going on the -9? Do you miss the E145's FMS yet? It is soooo easy to get lazy flying an advanced airplane. When it comes to the -9 though, you EARN EVERY PENNY. Good for you.

[Superpilot92]

So, how's it going on the -9? Great thanks for asking Do you miss the E145's FMS yet? No, why should I? It is soooo easy to get lazy flying an advanced airplane. I guess if thats the type of pilot you are, then maybe you would know. Are you then, "lazy"? When it comes to the -9 though, you EARN EVERY PENNY. Good for you. Thanks for the pep talk, pops


Bye Bye--General Lee

Echo, Echo LMAO you are so predictable Thanks for proving my point.

Super, forget it. You're trying to reason with a very lonely man who lives in a fantasy world with a "family who loves him", "friends who enjoy him", and "coworkers who adore him". Strip all that away and you end up with a lonely pitiful man who comes here to inflate his ego so he doesn't have to face his utterly depressing life. You'll never win an argument here with a guy who would rather log onto FI than actually go outside and see what Rio, Vienna, or Rome has to offer.


Don't bother arguing. He's already figured you out. Obviously you applied, interviewed, and were hired at NWA because you weren't Delta material. Obviously you spend all your nights away from home in Minot and Fargo crying in your hotel bed about how you REALLY REALLY wish Delta had called you before Northwest. Certainly you didn't actually WANT to work for Northwest????? The General can't compute. The General can't understand that there are intelligent pilot types out there that want absolutely nothing to do with Delta Air Lines.

Oh... and General... I fly the -9. I don't mind reading enroute charts. I'm not afraid to ask for a shortcut and a heading for a VOR at the same time (more often than not, I get it when I ask). Yes, I spend my work nights in Flint, Birmingham, St. Louis, Minot, and Fargo. There isn't a whole hell of a lot to do in any of those places. I'm happy for you that your seat position allows you to accept routing direct to ASBAG intersection so that you can add a minute or two to your precious Rio/Vienna overnight.

However.... I also average 15-17 days off a month. I enjoy taking my wife and kids to one of your glorious working destinations three or four times a year, My kids have seen Prague, Rio, Buenos Aires, Dublin, London, Berlin, Amsterdam, Bermuda, and Tokyo. My youngest child is 2, and he's seen more of the world than you have because my lifestyle of Minot and Fargo overnights allows him that opportunity.

And to stoop to a slightly cruder level (with my better half's permission), I've f******** my wife in more countries than you've j******* off in, mostly thanks to my 15-17 days a month off and my "miserable" existence flying the DC-9 around the continental US.

Enjoy your 20-30 hour worldly layovers, General. I would enjoy them too if I had nothing more than an empty house to come home to. I and the other countless hundreds of professional pilots who have something other than our fish tank and our TIVO to come home to understand why you have to flaunt the layovers your chosen right seat afford you.

Next time you're in Paris, Prague, or Vienna and you're eating lunch at that sidewalk cafe, take a close look at that family sitting next to you. That's me and my family, and we're sitting there courtesy of my DC-9 and my ability to read an enroute chart. Your 24 hour layover is just about up, General. Time to go home and check the pH in your fish tank, you lonely pitiful man.
