Another ASA F/O bites the dust

[Tarzan]

My question is why hasn't MX been Branding "property of ASA" on every headset?

All the new ones have it branded on them. I think this guy came off the 700. We've had a bunch of new headsets with "Property of ASA" emblazoned in red on the side of them.

Do guys use the A/C headset? I'm not crazy about using a whore headset, myself.

It seems it would be cheaper for a company to require it's pilots carry headsets and keep a few spares for emergencies rather than equip and maintain the entire fleet with three headsets apiece. Of course every airplane I've ever jump-seated on had at least one spare headset for the jump-seater. Hmmmm... maybe that's why I'm always sick after jump-seating.

What do you need headsets for in those fancy Barbie jets? Just do like the freight dogs do. Throw in some earplugs, blast the radio over the speaker at full volume and yell across the cockpit to your compadre. If you need to speak to atc, use the handmike.

The same reason they defend the drunks, the delinquents and the piss poor pilots that can't fly...

Don't forget azzholes like you either!

PUTZ!

Perhaps, but my sources say he was a 200 guy, also a former intern at the GO. If true, I would try to build up a defense that my moral compass was completely jacked up after interning at that den of immorality. You know, the old "I learned it by watching you!" defense.

Postal Inspectors caught him and informed ASA what was going on. He also had a buddy at Skywest doing the same thing, he is also gone.

I don't belive ALPA will do anything for this individual.

Was the headset purchased by Skywest or Mesa?

Not true. SkyWest doesn't provide headsets.

Not true. SkyWest doesn't provide headsets.

What about those $2 Radio Shack headphones from the '80's?

Guys and Gals,
This is exactly one of the things that pilots can control in todays airline industry to quit getting crapped on by management. We are once again our own worst enemy. Instead of being morally straight, doing the right thing even in the face of adversity and tough times, we decide to lower ourselves to the lowest level if you will, to get a very small amount of personal gain. This is no different than these fat pilots who walk through the airport with their shirt tail halfway untucked, shirt not pressed, and shoes not shined. They have no professional appearance. Yes I am military, but I am just saying that we should be somewhat professional looking and have some some pride in our work. Our profession is serious business whether we think so or not. Husband's put their Wife and KIDS on us all day long, and I think that we portray a "I dont care attitude" to our passengers sometimes. Yes we all should and can gripe, but do it behind the cockpit door where it cant be observed. We have a moral and ethical obligation to these people. When are we going to start acting like it ? I know and agree that ALPA and our company have done nothing for us, but we have to be the bigger one here and stand for ourselves as a group of Professional Pilots and stop blatently doing things that degrade our profession. I am glad that Scott Hall fired him. That is the most worthwhile thing he has done in a while. lol

 

[katanabob]

Anyone know what his seniority number was?

 

[HA25]

So Scott Hall and Robert Connely met an inbound flight at the gate. They took the F/O to the office, and 20 minutes later, escorted him upstairs without his id badge. This is what happens when you sell company headsets on ebay.

I know it's bad on F/O's salary, but cmon. Protect your career here.

I don't know what's more sad, this guys lack of judgement, or the fact that he had to supplement pathetic his income with this scheme?

Sad part is, this could just as easily have been the story at any airline today with the BS 1st year pay they all get away with "paying"
