[jimcav]

Sorry to bite on this flame bait but insensitive jerks like G100 piss me off.If you dont have something decent to say about the fine company I work for (and a lot of other nice folks on this board either work or would like to work)then shut the hell up.Thank God I dont have to fly with people your attitude.Go to charm school buddy.Good luck to all.

Yawn. What a pathetic puddle of puke you must be. Valujet was a long time ago. Quit living in the past.


I am not trying to throw flames here, but I just do not want to see the industry go the drain and have Value Jet be a good job. .

Regardless of what you want, little man, I guarantee you that working at AirTran is a much better career than what you're doing. I've done both, and I am telling you- you don;t have a clue.

Keep your tie out of the honey bucket, pudknocker.

Like I say. It is now a sad day when we start fighting about the virtues of AirTran (Value Jet). My arguement has very little to do with the pilot group as a whole. I just find it frustrating that AirTran is now this wonderful job. It is an airline started by losers and now we are all excited to go work for a SCAB airline.

How many of you guys started your career saying that you wanted to work for sub-standard pay as well as an airline that has the top of the seniorty list held by SCABS.

I am sure that it is fine place to work now, but .....

You're the only one fighting here. BTW, it's pretty clear you don;t know much about this company- there isn't much of anything Valujet still here. By September, there won't be a single DC9 left, it'll all be B717 and either Airbus or B737-700/800. Half of the pilots here were hired after the merger.

As for scabs, yep, we've got some. So does every major out there. Name me one that doesn't . . . . and tell me that you are somehow qualified to degrade all the other pilots that work there? Gimme a break. I've read your posts, and you aren't fit to lick the shoes of 95% of the guys on the property here.

I see. So that is why you started off you whole rant by insulting the 800 pilots here.

Make that a wonderful job that you can't have.

It is an airline started by losers and now we are all excited to go work for a SCAB airline.

Yawn. And Delta is a former crop-dusting outfit. And United is a former mail and freight carier. What's your point?

How many of you guys started your career saying that you wanted to work for sub-standard pay as well as an airline that has the top of the seniorty list held by SCABS.

How many of us wanted to end up in a corporate jet, holding hands and wiping asses for less than the guys at AirTran are making?

I am sure that it is fine place to work now, but ....

No butts about it, Chief. It's a great place to work. And we'll leave the butts to you. God knows there are enough of them sitting in the back of those corporate jets . . . and apparently, some in the front of 'em, too.


Have a nice life.

Who said anything about wiping asses and making less than the pilots at AirTran.

Look, I am sorry that I obviosuly offended many of you. That was not my point. My point was what I thought was obvious. Right now AirTran is a "good" airline to work at when 4 years ago many of you would not touch it because all the "majors" were hiring. Now it is the only game in town and a far cry from what we all thought it was to be working for a "major."

Unfortunatly times have changed.

airtran

I'm pretty confident AirTran will be the next major, and I would be very happy to work there; as a matter of fact, I have applied.
