That's it...I can't take it. General, shut up! This is F'ing ridiculous. I hesitated for the longest time about chiming in with a post unrelated to US Airways calls, but in all reality I am very tuned to THIS very thread because it directly affects me, so I felt the need to say something OFF topic so that we could get back ON topic. PBR, this isn't really focused at you...I don't think you're an annoyance to this forum by any means, and I'm sorry to see you get tangled up in a word war with the General. GL on the other hand...there is no telling how many participants of this website are annoyed by you on a regular basis, and the worst part is you continue to laugh off our frustration, turn your nose up to us and belittle anyone that isn't as "educated" or obsessed with airline transactions, mergers, contracts or unions as your are. I don't care if you you're unemployed, employed, living in a basement, or flying for Delta as it has been rumored. With that said, as the proud son of a very successful Delta Captain/LCA/Instructor-Retired, I hope to God above that you're not filling the same flight deck that he once did with your know-it-all attitude! Now you may reply and claim that you do not in fact know it all...but your 17,000+ posts says otherwise.
And so my problem here (along with others I'm sure) is this: You simply cannot resist butting into a thread of any kind, regardless of its RELEVANCE to you, your job, your airline, your ANYTHING. You see a topic and say to yourself "I"m gonna put my 2 cents worth into this," even after we beg and plead for you to take it somewhere else. Its really quite simple to illustrate the point here, and it goes like this:
Genny, are you employed by any other airline (even Delta)?
If yes, get out of this thread.
If you are unemployed and searching for an airline, do you have an app in with Airways? If no, get out of this thread.
If you have no interest in actually applying with, interviewing, and flying for US Airways /American, then get out of this thread.
...Which would also mean there is absolutely NO reason your phone will ever ring with an employee from US Airways on the other end, so shut up about anything related to a thread called US AIRWAYS CALLS!!!!!!
Me personally...I AM quietly and patiently waiting for a call. I've hit this company with everything I've got and have good people on this inside going to bat for me as we speak. I have reason to believe that I'm so close to getting a call, my heart stops every time my cellphone rings. So yes, this thread means a great deal to me, and it'd be nice if we could read it without hearing YOUR take on the Easties vs. Westies and USAPA and any other sh** Airways related that you have absolutely no involvement with of any kind!
Thats it I'm done. before I throw my laptop.
