You guys crack me up. This thread is on the subject of finacial viability of Legacy carriers and look how quickly the subject turned. I think the experimantal hiring that happened in the 90's is mostly gone for now.
I'll make a serious attempt to comment on this but we have a firecracker of...
Observation. Doesn't the General work for Mama Della?
Another thing, countless B6 guys had a fricken field day with the "legacy" guys for the last five years. Turnabout get's a hall pass? I don't think so.
Amazing.
It's interesting, one big manjor airline in particular (70's and 80's) had this very scenario occur, wih FAA anger, etc. Only it was a pax airline and otherwise survivable accidents from the crew perspective had some grannys and slow folk killed during evac from smoke, etc. So it was in fact...
Buddy, you have got to be kidding me.
Furloughed for a year, and that gives you any idea of what it is like out there right now in the "outside" where you are attempting to raise the drawbridge behind you? You are out of touch.
This isn't a "fairness" issue. This is a "discrimination"...
Fairness? There is no fairness in business, is there? How about we negotiate a deal. We get rid of seniority entirely and go on merit. And we can all work till our little tickers stop mid trip. How's that? Everybody's right, this is not a safety issue at all. O'l Frankie L. would be proud of us...
Wow, I had written off this website almost entirely as a bunch of backstabbing little boys at airline pilot summer camp until I read your post. Thanks. You will do well in your career because you haven't harvested the negativity and hostility that permeate the lower levels of our collective...
It is what is is. The reporter is aggressively sticking to his story that the "spoiled brat" comment was valid and not taken out of context. Due to the interest (or scuttle), the article was moved from the website onto a printed edition. The SWA union is aggressively standing by that fact that...
Yes. My reply was intended to be sarcastic. But sometimes things don't come out right on these boards ;)
Besides, if you pay over 700 clams for the pleasure of blocking the tail number on this above mentioned website, you only block your number on this particular site, and not all the other...
flightaware.com is charging $720 per year to block one tail number of your choice ;) - Only on their website...

This website is a double edged sword. Get the intel but load shed the negative. If you want to work at FedEx by all means apply and update. If all elese fails your persistence will pay off at either FedEx, orsomewhere else.
I only thought Gulfstream was PFT, I didn't realize it was a training program with passengers on board.
I absolutely cringed at the "From zero time to Captain in two years..." bragging. It really makes one feel like a fry cook. I suppose that's why the pay is starting to look like fry cook pay...
This has got to be about the least "enlightened" comment I've seen on this board in a while (that's tough to do if you have a both a brain and a soul that aren't inop). Ever hear of Karma, "bro"?
Dude, this is a simple question. Why must we all jump all over everyone and turn a completely politically free post negative? Glad to see you got something amid the seagull droppings.
I think UAL78 offered some pretty good perspective to the original question. As far as the social engineering that went on in the "late 80's and 90's" and still does to a degree, let's be honest here... at a hell of a lot more airlines than just Marvin (UAL for the layman) played this little...
...depends on what your definition for flying an airplane is...
I always cringe a bit when pilots put little emphasis on the brain work that goes into flying a high performance machine - in a PROFTABLE and completely comfortable, safe manner day in and day out, in all sorts of conditions...
Yes, that's exactly right. But you also know that the ATSB guaruntee is just that, taxbase funded money in forms of loan guaruntees. And guess what? I completely agree with it. I'm happy USAirways got it. I think letting companies like USAirways, United, Delta, American or any other...
