Say it with Me...CA...CCAAC....CACTUS!!!

[becket]

The us air call sign is dead. Too bad the old BK operation and their parasites didn't die with it.

 

[NoJoy]

Still one of the best call signs out there-

 

[stlflyguy]

It still ends in US!

 

[Whataburger]

It still ends in US!

Actually, if tons of CactUS flight where flying around, would it be called CactI? If so, that truely exemplifies the USair group......Ending in "I."

This is the first truly funny thing I have read that is truly sad at the same time.

 

[Metro752]

All US Airways flights now operating as Cactus? What?

 

[TWA Dude]

next month

 

[FLYLOW22]

So, how does this really change things?

Paint jobs...

Uniforms...

Crewfood...





Distractions tools of management for pilots.

With so many easties saying USAir's xxxx, maybe they'll start a campaign to say we wont say cactus xxxx, but cacti xxxx.

We shall see!!

Capt.

 

[MCDU]

Nice try cactus trying to make us go around by rolling to the end. controller was even upset. With one call sign this might not happen.

Why are you upset? With LOA 93 you should be thankful for every extra minute. Just one more case of Cactus putting money in your pocket. Typically ungrateful East reaction.

I'll send a $10 Whataburger gift certificate to the crew that I hear say "CactI xxxx."

PFT MCDU? He's looking for his next job.

 

[Lrjtcaptain]

I'm assuming for me as a controller then all USAir flights will now become AWE on the strip and the radar data block? Right now at O'hare and the rest of the world all our west flights to PHX and LAS are AWE and all the PHL CLT etc... are USA

 

[MCDU]

It will be USA on the strip and Cactus the Call sign.

[JT8D]

So, how does this really change things?

It throws the westies a bone and makes them feel like they won something.

I'll say Cactus with a smile on my face as it keeps the west off of east metal.

Hey becket can you say fu...fur...furlough?

 

[ALGFLYR]

It throws the westies a bone and makes them feel like they won something.

Like they thought they won the flawed Nic. award...

:uzi:

 

[TWA Dude]

Naw, the Nicolau Award was draw.

 

[Carl S.]

Last time I check the Nic. award was accepted and on the desk of the CEO. How is the dream DOH list going, why so long to organize and present, are you not ready for the response from upper management?

 

[Soulfly]

JT8D,

Glad to see you are glad someone might get furloughed.

Speaks volumes about your character.

 

[BeCareful!]

Why are you upset? With LOA 93 you should be thankful for every extra minute. Just one more case of Cactus putting money in your pocket. Typically ungrateful East reaction.

Yeah? I've never heard a "thank you" from any of you for the profit sharing we turned over. No thanks for the actual profits, either.

 

[PHXFLYR]

Where are those profits now ??? IDIOT

PHXFLYR

 

[BeCareful!]

Where are those profits now ??? IDIOT

PHXFLYR

PHXFLYR,

Where are anyone's profits these days?

Look around the industry and you'll see that that was an unusually stupid retort, even for you.

 

[Guppiedriver]

Yeah? I've never heard a "thank you" from any of you for the profit sharing we turned over. No thanks for the actual profits, either.

Thanks for sharing the profit sharing with us.

Can you prove the profits came exclusively from the east side of the operation? Which side was expensed with the merger costs?

Have you viewed the recent Crew News videos from CLT? It looks like the east owes the west a big thanks for the expeditious handling of the merger to stave off your certain liquidation.

 

[charlie2]

OH MY GOD !!! This is horrible!!! As we all know what a pilot says when pushing the transmit button in the cockpit is EVERYTHING. Now all my friends will point and laugh at me whenever I go out...this must not happen. Just think, we wasted all our time with that stupid meaningless list that only determines when and how long I'll be furloughed, when I upgrade to Captain and what kind of schedules I'll have when we could have been using all our resources to fight this injustice. Woe is me......HELPPPPP!

 

[waveflyer]

Noone argues the importance of seniority.
We just argue that longevity does not automatically give you seniority in a merger. (If that were the case- why is the seniority of a new hire virtually identical to the last furloughed guy who has 10 years in? Why are there longtime captains who are separated by a few years from FO's who are nowhere close to holding captain?) They are two completely different concepts and should be treated as such.

Nic agreed and his reasons are not as simpleton as yours.

Your reward for longevity is your topped out pay, which is more valuable than you say it is.
