168 "Large" Regional Aircraft left for RFP

[PBRstreetgang]

More fuel? What, landing with 1Hr plus isnt enough? Not confident enough in yourself to review the release and see if something needs to be changed? Give me more fuel, that will keep me safe.... Nope, its like a 4 wheel drive... It wont get you unstuck, just gets you in deeper... Kinda like PBRs boyfriend!

Ahhhaaa,
Doesn't take much to get the peasants riled up. You dikskratchers are so insecure, that when called out, you feel the need to pile on together, you see, that right there is a gay reference too. It would be funny if it weren't so pathetic, a few sentences and the whole hen house starts clucking. Review the release, yeah so what? What I watch is the fuel in the tanks, when it gets too low because you screwed up, I divert and collect more money, I win, my blood pressure is lower, and when the final analysis comes to light, dikskratch screwed up in planning, and I saved the day. The bottom line is the best you have to offer is a 20 page document, I on the other hand, take the people who paid the money from A to B and sometimes via C, because you really aren't that good.

 

[PBRstreetgang]

A++++ Would buy again!

It's been too long since the dikskratchers of FI last trolled the Regional Board (and, by "the regional board", I really mean PBRstreetgang). I forgot how fun this is.

Wally,
By trolling you mean being a voyeur? Like you are in real life? You sit in a cubicle, making crap money because living in SGU is so bitchin? Just because your junk didn't drop, you sit on the sidelines and cheer, yay go team go! You think this, trolling, as you say is fun, you must lead a pathetic and meaningless life. Keep trying, you and xPooP can meet at the water cooler and teehee about how good you got those pilots!
Yeah whatever! I will enjoy a couple of more days off and you can go back too hitting F9 doing what you do best, sitting in a cubicle, because you didn't have what it takes to enter the arena and play the game.

Ok so I missed this one, but seriously, how hard is it for Mesa to complete their tiny schedule? But if Mesa wants a cookie for cancelling more flights in order to improve their on-time performance, here it is. Congrats!

Hmmm According to United SKYNet YTD statistics, OO's departure completion was 97.8 versus YV's departure completion 97.7. Not exactly an Earth-shattering difference.

Quit spouting out random "facts" and support your statements.

And I MUST say it sure is funny that when some people are proven wrong, they quickly dismiss the whole argument as being silly. I am simply presenting EVIDENCE that show how some people on here are full of B.S. and just repeat the rhetoric that is accepted as "fact".

That said I have absolutely NOTHING against anyone at any airline - just get tired of hearing people make claims about other airlines that cannot be substantiated.

Although I agree with the sentiment completely, its pretty sad to compare the Special Olympics to the regional industry. Handicapped people have no choice in the matter, and to compare them to regional airlines is just heartless ;-)

And what exactly, does this have to do with the fact that dikskratchers are the appendix of the industry?

Well, if anyone would know...

Read this again. YEAR-TO-DATE, all flying, all carriers, not matter race nor creed....

As of 03/21/13 YV and EV are tied for dead last in completion factor, out of 15 DOT reporting US Airlines in completion factor. 97.1%. Innarguable fact. I can't spell it out any more crystal clear for you.

And further, I dont believe there is need for me to site my source as I am going strictly off the US DOT Reports. If you care that much to recheck my figures, I'm sure you can do your own Google search for "US DOT Airline Statistics"

Wally's top out pay is higher than anything you'll ever personally experience in your lifetime. Sad huh? A dispatcher making more than a pilot?

 

[PBRstreetgang]

Well, if anyone would know...

I do, all I have to do is imagine what you do on a daily basis and I shudder at the thought......I would rather sell insurance.

Regional carriers start their Aircraft Flight Dispatcher employees between $28,000 and $32,000 per year. Depending on longevity, salaries reach into the $90,000 range and higher for managers.
Major carriers start assistant flight dispatchers in the $40K range depending on experience. Most major air carrier's dispatch offices are union represented and salary caps have been negotiated beyond $100K. Many senior flight dispatchers make in excess of $125K when shift differentials and license pay are included.


Nice try.....someone will always make more than me, but the reality is , you sit in a cubicle and don't really do anything that I couldn't do my self, while I sit in an airplane and do what you can/couldn't do.
Thanks for playing....

It's so sweet that you care enough to think of what I do on a daily basis. Bless your heart.

I don't like discussing pay in detail. It's just not my style and it brings unwanted scrutiny. That said, without outing my carrier (I'm not in SGU, anymore, Toto), I will say that the info you posted is a bit outdated. New contracts and all. I do pretty well, especially in comparison to some of those OO pilot rates...and, I'm home every night.

I'm happy with my station in life. Can you say the same?

That's an old pay description, so top out has gone way up since the year 2009.

Don't flatter yourself, on most days at work you don't even exist in a practical sense. So why don't you hit F9 and do the scut work so some poor pilot doesn't have to what they know from experience how to do. Any airline pilot could do your job, could you do any airline pilots job? Didn't think so, you would have to enter the arena and take the risk that every pilot does on a daily basis, your only risk is developing carpal tunnel syndrome.

 

[PBRstreetgang]

While you may be satisfied with what you do, I am living my life long dream. And continue to do so on a daily basis, 1K or 100K or 1M , doesn't matter, the thought of working in a cubicle makes me ill, been there done that for 3X what I make as an Airline Captain, wouldn't go back for any reason. I sleep in my own bed 16nights on average a month and go to interesting places on the flip side. While SKYW ain't perfect, my lot in life is pretty darn good and I will enjoy it while I am here. If and when AA, UAL, DAL or HAL calls I will gladly go and try a new style of life on for size.

Just curious: what does F9 do?

Your ranting is hilarious. Please, keep it coming.

Refresh my memory...who was at fault in Waterloo?
