AirTran thoughts on Kelly's Disposal of SL10

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.

Riding the Pine

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

That might be flying the pine, or flying the desk...more modern expressions.

Riding the pine is a reference my Grandpa used to use in reference to sports as in if you weren't in the game, you were on the bench ie riding the pine.

I guess nowadays it should be riding the aluminum!

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(!)

So you went to SWA when they had NO pension retirement, no retiree medical, and substandard pay even for a 737 because you knew all the majors were going to go the BK route over the next 20 years and you would default into the best narrow body pilot position?

I guess did you also at that time buy WALMART stock and sell Montgomery Wards stock?

I agree that nothing is absolute but to tell an Airtran guy that he should have forseen an ATL displacement is a little disingenuous.

What company will be rocking it in 2020, I want to plan accordingly.

Google is a wonderful thing. Yahoo if your old school.

I wonder if I can use VA benefits to get an 18 wheeler type on my ATP?
