Airtran miffed at Budweiser

[Chuck Yogourt]

Hey was it true that one of the actors in that commercial was an Air Tran pilot? How ironic.

I never said he was labor 'friendly'.... That is obvious based on how our little union is being treated during negotiations. Hopefully it will improve.

However, I give him credit for sticking up for the LCC airlines. I didnt forget about past labor behaviors. Old school labor traditions are not beneficial to the carrier or the union... Hopefully things change.

Sticking up for the LCC's & its pilots? Hardly! Tell me you give him more credit than that: I hope he has better things to do. What I see is one week worth of publicity for Airtran for which he does not have to pay... even at the expense of VJ's name resurfacing. Who is the real "genius" here? As for the pilots, they'll hold their own. Along with Airtran, Budweiser got some recognition, too (they need it). It's win-win.

I just need to accept that AirTran will never be the media darling and have the associated hype that Southwest and JetBlue enjoy. (I'll stop now, let the flaming begin).

If it was SWA in the commercial, Herb would have called AB JR and challenged him to something. ( SWA vs AA Kelleher vs Crandall ). Joe just cried. Joe could have run with it and made it into something.

What you don't seem to get, Texx, is that they were talking about SWA pilots, and AirTran pilots, and Frontier, and ATA and JetBlue. The jingle was about ALL "Discount Airline Pilot Guys".

So, if you get hired by CAL, will we be calling you COTEXX? Just wondering.

Budwieser does own 49% of Corona/Modela porfolio line.

Corona is so bad, the Mexicans think it sucks and laugh at how the Americans buy into the advertisements. A real beer to them is Tecate with a lime and rust on top of the can. The lime juice is to kill the stuff growing on top of the can.

What you ment to say was AirTran to serve Dos Equis XX.

True, true...or Pilsner Urquell. Or anything other than what comes with a twist off cap.
:beer:

Just wait until Bud makes an ad geared at cargo pilots. Our time is coming.

shut up! :laugh:

Nah, I guess they were too busy teaching me to read for comprehension- would yours have done the same, maybe you would have responded to the topic of the post; the song (which I found mildly amusing) wasn't about AirTran, but about LCC pilots in general.

Mine did. I did. The topic of the post "Airtran miffed at Budweiser". Get it.

"And also hire civilian guys to help get the military guys thru training and show them what to wear to the bar on overnights."

Spotted a squadron t-shirt being worn in the bar on an overnight last week. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, Get a grip Maverick, Sky or whatever your callsign is/was. (Yes these are real callsigns in action at my airline i'm embarrassed to admit.)
