US Airways Calls

[Roomwithaview]

unless

everyone puts him on their ignore list the pain will continue. which tells me tons of posters like to fight with general lee. which brings up a question whatever happened to on your six??

 

[General Lee]

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.

First of all, great meltdown. I hope you don't spaz like this in a cockpit or any future interviews. You have to look at your options and act on them. You always have the IGNORE function, and I don't mind at all you using it for my posts. If you don't want to see the light, then fine.

I actually think getting on at USAir right now, before the merger and expected huge retirement numbers is a great idea. Hopefully the East and West will get get the SLI straight using the NIC award, and then an eventual SLI with AA will lead to a great career. Hiring on early at any legacy will do wonders for QOL and eventual upgrades, etc.

So, throw me on ignore, and move on with your life. Just tone it down a bit and stay calm during any interview and during probation. Your above post shows you can fly off the handle. This is an anonymous web board, don't freak out too much! Good luck.


Bye Bye---General Lee

Seriously, I added him to my ignore list about 2 weeks ago. He adds nothing of value and my experience here has been improved. As they say on other forums IL+1

I'm a fan of the General, personally.

It is becoming very obvious to most on FI that the General is damaged goods. For the life of me I can not understand why anybody engages with him (Myself included). I think PBR may actually have hit the nail on the head. I am starting to believe he is one of Gods "SPECIAL PEOPLE". If that's the case then General I am truly sorry for your lot in life. I would respectively submit that you might want to get some help. I try my best to be an open minded person, I figure that all sides of a discussion should be heard. I don't have to agree with what is said but it is still in my best interest to hear differing opinions. In the past I have read the General's post with that philosophy in mind. You would think with 17k+ post there would be something useful in there. Well evidently I may need to ride the short bus as well because I have just now figured out that some peoples opinions are truly irrelevant. It only took me six years to figure it out but that irrelevant person is you General. Congratulations you are the first and only member of FI to make my ignore list.

No, it sounds like you're an Eastie who doesn't want the NIC award to happen, and wants to keep brushing it under the table. Look, everyone knows what happened, and everyone knows what integrity is. You guys blew it. Correct it by accepting what happened, and move on with the next SLI, which will be closely watched by the APA. Talk about defensive, you guys attack and call people "special" when you can't debate the issues. PBR knows he can't leave his shrinking regional, and you guys can't escape the Nic award. Quit slamming, and accept your fate. Bye!

Damaged goods? GL is spot on most of the time. I find him insightful and even entertaining at times. Nobody seems to know more about Delta than GL (and he has opinions about all airlines ). But he can also be a bit harsh and direct - so, it does not surprise me that people react negatively.

But hey - this is an internet chat board - so who really cares? You guys take things waaaaaaay too seriously on these boards. Who really cares what GL says? Are you gonna cry when he says something you disagree with? So, you don't have the discipline to turn off your computer or look at another thread? This is an anonymous chat board full of opinions and a few facts, so people should take it all with a big grain of salt...

I did find OState's meltdown hilarious though - give me a break! Go get a beer and chill out and quit acting like a complete crybaby (especially before your interviews). I like the line, "before I throw my laptop." Seriously??? OState sounds like my 15 year old son...:crying::crying::laugh:

Let's hope USAirways does not ask him any stressful questions - like are you morally ok with stepping on the legally-binding rights of employees who saved your own airline?

Glad to see more folks are figuring out that private lee is a message board terrorist. Obviously he is not an Airline Pilot and probably a scumbag lawyer that posts thousands upon thousands of posts from his cubicle. He seems to have quite a good handle on legal issues, much more so than any Pilot I have ever flown with....... This guy is a poser with an anti-pilot agenda trying to create dissention among the Pilot groups. Why FI has not banned this parasite is a mystery........

Now back to Airways, are they going to relax the ground school within 5 year rule? HS

Well Heavy, nice to see you backing up and supporting Private Lee's arguement?
Alter ego???? HS

You should have said something earlier... Ya know like if you have a dam, you have to let the water trickle out before it all breaks. :lol:
