The guy I just flew had to start every single radio transmission with the word "yeah". "Yeah, Salt Lake Center..." "Yeah, So Cal...", "Yeah, Vegas Ops...". Weird.
Guy I flew with a couple months ago got absolutely fall-down drunk at the hotel bar. Went into the lobby bathroom to take a dump, but was so trashed he forgot to pull his pants down. He sat down on the john and proceeded to sh!t in his Levis. I'm sitting at the bar and get a text from him...
Well, for what it's worth...
Regarding the new-hire no-shows: I just came from the training center (PC yesterday) and was told the reason two classes only had 8 people was because they only wanted two classes of 8. There have been a small handful of folks leave for other airlines, but not...
Huey Lewis, Chuck Berry and Bill Cosby. Three of the nicest, coolest dudes you'll ever meet.
Val Kilmer, Arriana Huffington, Barbara Boxer. Three of the absolute most obnoxious, arrogant wastes of skin you'll ever meet.
You aint kiddin'! Given the choice, I'd take a FAT captain over one of these ******************************bag Kernals any day of the week. Unless the FAT captain was also a ******************************bag Kernal...
Needed to bring this thread back from the dead. I mentioned the book "Marijuana Smuggling fro Fun and Profit" by Robert Bach. I read it a few months ago and have developed an interest the dope hauling scene of the late 70's and early '80s (reading about it, that is. Not actually doing it...
I think Obama is a miserable, incompetent piece of sh!t who is destroying this nation, however this problem started long before anyone had ever heard of him. Back in the 90's when most of us were slugging it out at rat-sh!t regional carriers minorities were going straight to the right seat at...
The faster the hiring, the fewer the necessary qualifications. When times are tough airlines use things like the 4 year degree, etc. as a tool to weed folks out. When hiring is hot and heavy the 4 year degree carries less weight. Still, I would try to be in a position to check as many boxes...
Thanks for this, Dan. I've been on the fence about both these book, I may try the PJ Spivak one now. I just finished "Marijuana Smuggling for Fun and Profit" by Robert Bach. Best flying story I've read in a long time. Sorry for the thread creep. Carry on...
I think we're simply in a little over our heads right now. We bit off more than we could chew, and we're having to dig our way out. That's going to take some time.
I fly with a lot of guys who are pissed that we've strayed from our proven model. That's valid to a point. To paraphrase...
I'd like to show this to the D-bag I'm flying with now. Drops his whole board, works nothing but premium, doesn't understand the automation and sleeps on every friggin' leg! Yeah, age 65 was the right thing to do...
