Someone must know more...


Apparently, the wife drives in for the overnight. They get into it over something. On the way top the airport to duty in, the wife chases down the crew van on I 75 and rams the van with her car. Reportedly, no injuries to crew members but, the driver had to be taken to the hospital and the van was heavily damaged.....Anyone know more?
 
I can think of a few suspects....
 
Lets see I-75. GNV, VLD, CHA, TYS, CVG, DTW, FNT, is there more?
 
Oh, well that does narrow down the list....maybe.

This is cool!!!

So the wife drove to cha to confront the hubby on the overnight? If so, that's happened before, but the crew van ramming is a new twist.

You've got the deets all wrong.

No, it wasn't me.
 
When you're done frosting your hair maybe you could share the "deets".
 
Can't make this chit up, my hat is off for the mid afternoon chuckle.
Thanks

Very curious-

This guy has been on some sort of leave for the better part of a year. I hear that some pilots with ill relatives to care for cannot get a leave, but glamboy can apparently stay out as long as he wishes-without losing his job....

-I wonder what our MEC thinks of this situation? How long is "tv personality leave?" I think I missed that part of the contract.
 
Yea. An article in one of those gossip mags shows him out riding his bike in Malibu. Why is he not on a Montgomery overnight like the rest of us?

I think the union should figure out how he is getting away with this nonsense. If he is on some double-secret leave that no one else can qualify for, I say make his ass come back, or he should lose his seniority number. I may be mistaken, but there is no leave he is actually qualified for-no one else gets to take a "I was on TV for a while a few months ago" leave. There are plenty of guys junior to him who would love to have his seat for good.

Really-Where the hell is this clown? The company last offered leave over a year ago, and time's up! If he gets a "just because I'm pretty" leave, shouldn't we all? Get his butt back to work, or fire his poser butt!
 
Supposedly all the CPs said "No" to his request to extend his leave after The Bachelorette. SH granted it anyways.
 
I don't know any of the back story but I do know the van in Cha was hit Sunday morning. It was fine on Saturday and Sunday it was wrecked. Van driver said it was side swiped on the interstate and that no one was hurt. They were still using the van. Just the passenger front door was dented.

He's probably on full time paid ALPA leave laughing all the way to the bank.

Either that or he is on personal leave which is granted completely at the discretion of SH.
 
At least his standards job has been rescinded, but yes it's BS he's been out this long since we're all getting extended if we duty out before 1600.
 
So this was the short CHA overnight??? I wonder if the driver was the nice guy from Colombia? Should be interesting to hear more about this.

Yes it was the short one. No, it was not Al. The van m is not being used, its at the shop. They have a big RED rental van
 
We rode over to the airport in the van on the day of. I guess they are getting it fixed now. The front door wouldn't shut very well.
