ASA Flight Control FREQ

[ASA DX]

And you have been at ASA for how long?

November of 1996 for me.

 

[fltdspx]

Must be a sore subject.

not really just that I've been in dispatch long enough to know that no matter what, things never change. No matter what management says or does as long as brother D calles the shots we will always be the red headed step child.. and yet we still seem to get the blame in flight control.

 

[fltdspx]

If the feds are bothering you just drop a heavy object or a book on their foot and walk away while cursing.

I will have to try that one

Question for ASA dispatchers. Do you seem to always be shorthanded?

 

[COOPERVANE]

Thats interesting. Most pilots and flight attendants would say we are the ones who get all the blame for everything. Every delay seems to be a crew delay.

Why the hell would my flight attendant get a sharply worded call from a "chief" flight attendant to ask why we were late when it was clearly a lack of GSE that caused it.

This company has no idea what it's doing

Delta made me do it. Sorry

I try to listen to 131.15 when I can, but if the chatter seems to be too much I will turn it down. If ground control is busy, and I have a newhire that may still be getting use to all the phraseology, you guys are going to be the ones I tune out in the equation.

There's been too much lately with incursions and such, I'm not a big mulit-tasker on the radios.

/public school morons. oh yeah...conservative bible thumping conservatives...

Maybe somebody can answer this for me. Two things I've noticed recently, and I'm not getting the idea behind it. Anybody care to explain it?

1) What's with taking your Ford or Chevy truck, redoing the exhaust system so you have a pair of 18-wheeler exhaust pipes sticking straight out of the bed?

2) Cornhole? Who the hell came up with this backyard BBQ game, and couldn't "y'all" come up with a better name than that?

Yes the turnover is crazy up there. No one stays..its just like the line. We are fully staffed now, but this is the first time in I'd say 2 years that we have been that way.

I think that's why the feds were in flight control the other week, asking dispatchers about 131.15

My take...there are good pilots and bad...There are good dispatchers and bad. Some things are not within our control. Just be a professional and do the job. It's not that hard.

November of 1996 for me.

A great deal has changed since then. 1991 for me.

I think the most noticeable is that KM, and the HOOSER, have become more cranky.

 

[HoserASA]

and the HOOSER, have become more cranky.

That's Hoser bud, ONE 'O'! And, to you it's Captain Hoser! Now go get me my coffee will you!

Hoser

Hoser

Oh, and I put some "cream" in your coffee sir.

 

[HoserASA]

Oh, and I put some "cream" in your coffee sir.

You're such a nasty boy!

Hoser

Most of us listen up almost all the time (everyone forgets to flip freq. or turn up #2 once in a while) and most of us have no problem making a brief call for whatever reason may come up. What you have to understand (and I'm sure you do) is Will and a very few others were abused as children and now are forced to live in the south with all of us ignorant/incompetent/inbred/unedumacated/toothless/black/slaveowner
/public school morons. oh yeah...conservative bible thumping conservatives...

Whatever you do, don't lump the rest of us into that group.

You could've saved yourself some typing and simply replaced the bold part with "Auburn grads".

And what's up with the sticker on the back window of your pickup with Calvin pissing on something you don't like? You just don't see stuff like that up north.

I'm not forced to live in the South, I'm just here to steal your women and make fun of "y'all". That's the prize for winning The War.

And the abuse we Yankees received from our parents only made us tougher. That's why we're so mean... again, hence winning The War.

No "git" back in your pickup and go get some more Busch Light.

JP...really...Hillary? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot...?

Now back to the topic, anybody hear the drama on 131.15 yesterday?

First, there was Beal telling his DX that the gate "refused" to pull up his release for his flight to YUL. He must have been hungry b/c he was pretty worked up. It was classic Beal.

Then, later, there was the guy going back and forth with Katie about not having a weather packet. After about 15 exchanges of her telling him to go to the gate and get one, and him insisting he couldn't leave the airplane, she asked if she should just get in her car and drive it over to him. He told her she should, and all hell broke loose. Too funny.

JP...really...Hillary? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot...?

I really wanted Edwards, but since he's out, I have to support Hillary.

It's better than Obama. I think McCain will win anyhow, but Obama scares me. At least we know what Hillary will do.

Obama is a wild card. I saw Jesse Jackson on TV last week saying "If Obama is elected we will finally have a serious conversation on reparations in this country". Not good. This after Obama said on MLK day in ATL that he would place a "civil rights observer" in every Federal court to ensure whites get as severe punishment as blacks. Pretty presumptuous to assume Federal Judges are giving blacks more severe punishments, don't you think? That's a big chip on his shoulder to be president. I fear Obama will be controlled by bigots like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.

Bi+ches gotta stick together. Hoes over bros.

 

[XPOO]

Totally just playing around. I had all weekend to get ready for some good postings today.

 

[shamrock]

.....but Obama scares me. At least we know what Hillary will do.

And that's just as scary.
