[Scope out RJ's]

Judging by all of your posts, you:

1) still live at home with your parents
2) wear your uniform where ever you go so's to let everyone know you're a "airline pilot."
3) couldn't upgrade and are pissed that you are stuck as a lifer f/o.
4) hang out at all the high school dances/ local airports/ fbo's in your uniform bragging you fly a "big jet"
5) are a total doosh bag!

Feel free to fill in the rest------------

I'm sure the FAA will get to the bottom of this accident.

Just like you will eventually hit the bottom of that crack rock you are smoking.

ROFLMAO...

I don't care WHO you are, THAT'S funny right thar'...

It wasn't an accident. It was an incident. Big difference.

Not before the media does.

 

[ReportCanoa]

Sucker broke down. That's about all there is to it.

How old were you when Eastern scabs walked the line and flew? Just curious. I see so many people bring this up about numerous airlines and I laugh - because I see CRJ in your "Aircraft flown" and I know you are YOUNGER than me - and Eastern went under the year I graduated from college and I had no idea, nor did I care, at the time, that there was such a thing as an airline scab. So....why does it get you so riled up now? Not rhetorical - not trying to be a d*ck - Im honestly curious???

Better than what you're smoking.

The military does not have a scab problem. Airlines do. If you spent all of your time in the military you couldn't realize how this problem affects us and why we don't tolerate scabs. I have no idea about this incident but I know why we don't tolerate scabs. They tried to destroy our careers for their benefit. Kind of like a soldier running to the enemy side because they had a better chance of winning the battle.

AirTran doesn't have 400 scabs, I think he was trying to make a joke. We have about 70 total, out of 1500 . . . . not that big a number. United probably has more pilots out on maternity leave at any given time. . . . make that Captains out on maternity leave. . . .

Instructor dude,
Why do you have a link to Kevin Federlines website on your profile? I've been visiting this board for a long time, and that rates as one of the gayest things l've ever seen on here.
You might as well advertise Justin Timberlake on there as well. LOL
Do you listen to his mp3's on your ipod?

p.s. Not intending to pick a fight with 'ya, only pointing out that IMHO, that's some funny $hit.

 

[ground stop]

midnight flyer,

and your avatar isn't gay? agreed about intructordude though.

 

[Wankel7]

Geez, I find it so hard to believe that somebody didn't have AAA...

Hum, second thought don't you need AAA RV for airplanes?

 

[Midnight Flyer]

midnight flyer,

and your avatar isn't gay? agreed about intructordude though.

The difference is, is that I searched long and hard to locate the gayest avatar I could find-as a joke. I freely admit my avatar is gay, that's the point. Anyway, my avatar features the star of my wifes favorite show "queer eye for the straight guy".

However, I don't feel instructordude put that Kevin Federline link up as a joke, he's probably serious. Remember, this new generation of backpack wearing, spikey hair, ipod punks grew up in the "boy band" era. You know, Justin Timerlake, Kevin Federline, Backstreet Boys, etc.... uke:

I find it rather ironic that alot of the people who are raising hell about scabs and how bad they are for our profession are the same people, that while flying in the regionals, where celebrating when they got more mainline flying routes for their RJs.

Honestly, which do you think is worse for our industry longterm, a few hundred scabs or all domestic mainline flying going to the regionals at lower pay rates?

And no, I'm not saying RJ pilots are scabs. I think we (all airline pilots) are our own worst enemies - and we are in this mess together - because we caused this mess together.

Just my 2 cents...

Yesssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!

Talk about hitting the nail on the head.

I just sat up in my chair at a public library and yelled "F-in A!!"

I guess I better be going...........................

Actually, what we should all be concerned about, and guarding against, is the day when pilots start wearing backpacks, Oakleys, and spiking their hair . . . those dudes are used to Taco Bell wages, and will work for anything . . . . oh, wait, too late . . . .
