AirTran thoughts on Kelly's Disposal of SL10

[Crash Pad]

So far PCL wished he was at: Pinnacle (not kidding, after the merger that is), Delta (when he thought he could go with the planes), and now United.

I'll now open this up to flightinfo. Insert your punchlines:

Hey PCL 128,

I have an idea, why don't you quit. I would love to see you find a job elsewhere in this economy. Rather, I would just love to see you find a job elsewhere. You sound like a scorned 12 year old girl. Suck it up, shut up, and move along.

I went to work for AirTran, you dolt.

That made me burst out laughing. I'm putting the word "dolt" back in my flesh quiver.

I went to work for AirTran, you dolt. Every pilot was based in Atlanta when I was hired, and 85% of us based in Atlanta when the merger was finalized. Getting kicked out of Atlanta was never even a remote possibility until your management came along.

Which again shows your inexperience-
This is old time airline pilot knowledge- make your decisions as well as you can on quality of the business and it's leaders- NOT on contracts or domiciles- bc those will change(!)

Wonder how many went to work at delta or ASA bc of the DFW base?
How about United for the Miami base? I've got a friend who turned down a major to stay at air Wisconsin for the Denver base- commuted to Philly for 2 years before he moved on.

Anybody else want to chime in for the youngster?

You're a pilot. Things change. Which is exactly why Lear's quantitative analysis is so futile. Legal financial "Harm" cannot be proved until after the fact. Which leads to last axiom of this post: we'll all see where we stacked up when we retire. No sooner.

And I can assume you won't listen to cometman, correct PCL?
I'd combine situps and TMAT questions. Multi-task

 

[PCL_128]

waveflyer, welcome to the ignore list.

 

[Secret Squirrel]

Anybody that came to AirTran could count the number of airframes that we had on order and the number of people ahead of them on the seniority list to figure out their upgrade time. Then subtract airframes that management was selling off as fast as possible. That would give you your upgrade timeframe. The bottom half of the FO list had no realistic chance of an upgrade. If you believed the training/hiring department then you are a "dolt"!

Perhaps they went to UPS who does have pilots on furlough. Fedex doesn't have anybody on the street though and has been slowly hiring of late.

You are correct, sorry.

 

[waveflyer]

That would make it You and bill lumberg PCL- good company

 

[FlyinGuy]

All you ladies are dolts!!!

My 'aquaintence" who went to FEDEX a few years ago is riding the pine, or so I've been told.

A euphamism for furloughed? Do you know the origins of this term?

If he doesn't, he will quickly be branded a Dolt!

Yes and yes, do you?

Typical SWAPA arrogance. Enjoy your little airplane.

I'd never heard the term before and wondered where it came from. Thanks for your informative answer.

No arrogance, except your opening question and your response above. I simply answered it. You didn't ask what it meant, only if I knew what it meant and it's origins. Yes and yes.

Thin skinned are you? Sorry, say high top Albie for me.


My little airplane is great thank you, home 4/5 nights a week, industry leading pay and benefits. I sleep when the suns down as well, that big plane hard to land sometimes?

C you next time.

No arrogance from me. I asked a simple question and got a smarmy response from you.

I'm not thin skinned. I find it depressing that asking a simple, unassuming question question brings the response you posted.

I can be home almost every day should I choose. Don't have to fly at night if I don't want to. MD-11 is a dream to fly and land. Did you know that pressing the tops of the rudder pedals applies the wheel brakes?

"High Top" Albie? A euphamism for gay F-15 sex? Do you know the origin of that term?

I withdraw and apologize for my "little airplane" remark. I just wish that things could remain civil.

Flying the pine means he has been "benched" and flying a desk somewhere instead of an airplane.

Thanks. I went and looked it up after I received Scoreboard's "answer".

If you are depressed by a simple honest response, please seek professional help, call clear skies.

Smarmy, interesting you know what that means but didn't have a clue on riding the pine. Sorry if I assumed you knew, my bad.

No, Albie is a pretty good guy you fly with, if you didn't understand an oft used metaphor like ride the pine maybe you don't know who he is.
