No, no, not at all! I agree with you completely! I think we should all follow in the footsteps of the Eastern pilots. We may not have jobs, but we'll have made our point!
Oh, and I love your technique of twisting my words into the bizarre paragraph you posted. I try not to leave the...
Well...maybe you guys are right. I guess I should do my part to piss customers off and make sure they fly Southwest or JetBlue instead of us.
Guys, trust me: antogonizing our customers is not the way to put pressure on management. We need public sympathy, not public outrage...and the...
Well, you know, I'm one of those guys who gives passenger convenience a higher priority than union/management posturing. I saw how well posturing worked at EAL.
(I'm not about to start slinging bags, though...)
All jokes aside...
I was talking to my father about this story, and he believes this woman did indeed have Jet A dumped on her. He pointed out that the vent boxes on the MD-80 will hold a surprising amount fuel, and can spill during that first turn after takeoff. And this woman lives pretty...
Somebody--I presume a former ASA pilot--was shooting the breeze with someone about life at ASA versus his current gig, and about how Doug H. was supposed to call him some time, etc. Just a chat between friends...but for fifteen minutes nobody could call for boarding, fuel, lav service, catering...
Actually, it says his first name in John. If I were an Eastern scab, I'd go by my middle name at my next job, too!
It also says he got hired at Eastern in March of '89. Since the strike began on March 4th, that puts him in the lowest category of scabs, the bottom feeders...the first-day...
I had my doubts too, but I strongly suspect it's him. The name on the scab list matches exactly, and it's not that common a name. He was very evasive about his prior flying experience...said he did some Part 121 flying "here-and-there" during the early Nineties.
I suppose we could just ask...
There was a young lady at Addison (Dallas, TX) whom the IP's at American Flyers called "1-900-HOT-ATIS." The hourly sequences she recorded were...memorable. Made it difficult to concentrate, I hear.
On the other hand, there the lady at DFW--I assume it's a lady--who is incapable of...
I don't know what's considered competitive anymore. To be honest, I don't even know what our hiring minimums are now. What I do know is that apparently most furloughed mainline pilots with, say, 5000 hours aren't interested in flying an RJ for $16K/year.
Can't say I blame them, either...
That's it, drive that wedge deeper! No looking back! Why let management tear us apart when we can do it to ourselves!
This is the crap I get after starting a thread to tell Comair pilots that they do still have some support at ASA. Thanks a lot, DDpaysoff. Thanks for giving me something...
You guys need to mak up your fu_king minds. You think no self-respecting pilot with thousands of hours should take a job at a regional. And you're P.O.'ed at those regionals for not hiring self-respecting pilots with thousands of hours.
Has it occurred to you that the reason ASA hasn't hired...
