    747 loader falls asleep

    I know it's been a while since I've crewed one, but there's no switch for the aft cargo because it doesn't even have the option of heat, right? The aft cargo is defaulted to ramper/puppy/or as we used it, baby chick snuffer.

    Comair Crash

    Wow, that's almost exactly the wording I used in the email I just wrote to MSNBC. From my email- "I just watched your anchor on MSNBC, while interviewing a psychologist, mention to him that when a producer called the victim family hotline for Delta Airlines he was put on hold for 15 minutes...

    bonus for Flyi execs 2.1 million

    And they're censored. I don't think Crandall ever used the word 'fricken' in his life.

    Master Senority List

    I guess you didn't read my posts in the link I posted. I don't have any cake to eat. I'm out of flying now. Two carriers down the tubes and a family that needs me here has forced me to compromise my career path. Wow. And you think a national union is shortsighted? Waiting for the good times...

    Master Senority List

    See my posts in this thread: http://forums.flightinfo.com/showthread.php?t=68861&page=6 A national seniority list would punish pilots at successful carriers. But a national pilots guild flying under one contract, as someone else alluded to, would be a much better solution.

    If everyone hates their airline why not quit

    Wow, I think we agree WAY more than we disagree on this issue. For the record, I wasn't referring to the National Seniority List solution. Like you said, all that would do is punish those who work for a well run airline. My rough solution is to take pay and retirement out of the equation...

    If everyone hates their airline why not quit

    People are short-sighted. When times are good, people want it all, and they want it now. They certainly aren't as concerned about the future of the industry as they are about getting what's theirs. And when they get furloughed, their career is in shambles. Wouldn't lessening the consequences...

    If everyone hates their airline why not quit

    Well, I, for one, quit. I loved flying for Express One, but after they went out of business I got hired by ACA. I left right before they announced Indy Air, but I could already read the writing on the wall. My schedule and prospects were getting worse and I could get better pay doing something...

    Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays Announcement to Pax

    Again, just because that's what you want it to mean, doesn't mean it does. I could say conservative means 'closed-minded twat', but that doesn't make it so. So I'll just have to keep calling people that on an individual basis, then.

    Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays Announcement to Pax

    The modern definition that was invented less than 20 years ago and recognized only by adherents to one US political party to make members of another political party look bad. Hardly a proper usage of the word. Go look it up in a dictionary and see what the word actually means.

    Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays Announcement to Pax

    Says you. Boy, this thread got ugly fast. I'll just say that I celebrate Christmas, because while I don't believe Jesus is my Lord and personal Savior, I dig on his message (or what those other guys said was his message). I don't see a lot of that message being practiced around here, though...

    Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays Announcement to Pax

    Since Dec. 25th is an arbitrary date picked by the Pope 300 years after Jesus died to usurp an already existing pagan holiday, I'll honor those original pagans who started it all by wishing everyone a very happy Saturnalia. I'm sure nobody will be offended.

    FLYi flies for bankruptcy (Chp. 11)

    Sorry to hear this news, but I'm not very surprised. I figure it's me. A lot of what I touch turns to crap. First Express One, now ACA/FlyI, and I'm sure at least 2 FBOs I worked for have bitten it. I suggest everyone dump any Comcast stock they may be holding now. I've doing this for two...

    I thought the UAL scabs were given super-seniority. What was he doing sitting sideways?

    Hard landing: How hard is hard?

    True. The 727 is challenging to land smoothly. Many say it's because of the location of the landing gear in relation to the CG, especially in the -200 series. That's a bunch of garbage, though. Many aircraft have wheels as far from the CG as the 727. Really the challenge comes due to the fact...

    Post Office aircraft?

    Oh, yes we did. Spades was the game of choice. I suck at bidding, so I only joined in once....and got slaughtered.

    and he's DOWN for the count

    Seems wrong to put someone in the penalty box for accidentally forgetting to log off on a public use computer. C'mon, the guy doesn't start a (perfectly innocent) thread since 2003, and now he starts 5 flame baits in an hour and a half? The flamer logged off, the posts are deleted. No harm...

    Express One International???

    The company is related to the old Express One in name only. They bought everything they could of our old company out of bankruptcy court. I'm not sure they've actually flown a single flight since. They started out saying that they were going to pick up from where we left off, even re-hiring...

    4 year degree

    To back MICK up, I also found it very difficult to find any decent work after leaving the airlines. In six months I got two interviews (one for mailroom in an advertising firm, one for Comcast technician), two job offers without interviews (part time delivery for a deli and part time...
