ASA Thread Du Jour 09/04/07

[XPOO]

A new one was bound to pop up today, so I thought I would save my sister company's "fine" (Sarcasm intended) employees the hassle of trying to figure out a new name for said thread. Please enjoy using this thread for today's gripes, bitches and moans.

Yes...you go ahead and laugh at those who have the capability of making your day suck that much more with aircraft swap after aircraft swap.

I also laugh at those that have about as many posts on here as hours flown. But I don't normally point fingers in this manner, until today.

HA HA HA...you too. Oh no, not the dreaded aircraft swap!

I find it amusing that Dispatchers feel the need to hang out around a pilot forum. Besides, you started the mud slinging with this thread, so you'll have to deal with it now.

Where exactly does it say this is a "pilot forum"?

Regionals (89 Viewing)
Regionals and related discussions.

I see nothing about pilots in the forum description. Seeing how I work in a regional's dispatch office...and I'm fairly certain XPOO does, too...this forum is relevant to our interests. And besides, watching pilots (especially those from an imploding ASA) bitch and moan and talk crap to each other like they are 12 year olds on the playground is pretty damn amusing.

 

[XPOO]

Who'se slinging mud? I'm helping save countless ASA pilots a few clicks by starting today's thread for them. They should be thanking me for my tireless efforts and for just plain looking out for my fellow man. And since when did this become a pilot only forum. The way I see it, any moron with $10 can get on here and post. I'll use you as exhibit A.

 

[Stifler's Mom]

Here's your Dispatcher forum link. http://forums.flightinfo.com/forumdisplay.php?f=44

What's wrong XPOO? You start a flame war with your thread. Not like it hasn't been done before by others. You're very original.

I can only imagine what you clowns look like in your cubicles all day long.

 

[XPOO]

That's funny because I was just thinking about what you like like in your stuffy APU-deferred cockpit all day long while I sit in my nice air conditioned cubicle.

 

[Turtlesfly]

so . . . . how did yesterday go?

No APU deferred AC for me. I just refuse it, and then make you put together another release with a new AC number on it.

Sorry, you'll have to shout over XPOO and me for that answer. I wasn't working, but I'm sure somebody can let you in on that.

I'm sorry, what's that? You need a release in order to do your job? But I thought YOU were the brains behind this whole operation. Because this airline would never grind to hualt because there's no dispatch release, no-sir-ree-bob.

 

[Captain Morgan]

XPOO: Just an honest question. If you hold the airline by the short and curlies just as much as the pilots, why don't you do something about your working environment? I believe dispatchers ARE worth more than they are getting. Lord knows, I wouldn't want to do you job just because of the stress.

Brains behind the operation? Sorry, no brains behind the operation at ASA. Not before Skywest bought us, and definately not after Skywest bought us.

I prefer to think of myself as a dreamer. For instance, I always dreampt of becoming a pilot, much like you probably always dreampt of becoming a dispatcher. Right????

 

[WalterSobchak]

It's almost like a Mexican stand-off in here...there are 20 guys in the thread and no one is talking.

So let's hear about what happened yesterday...I'm actually interested.

It's happened many times at ASA, before we got the mother of all computers that supposedly would never fail. Then it happened again two weeks later.

I don't understand why there's this "holier-than-thou" mentality on this board when it comes to dispatchers and pilots. Don't we all realize that we both have important jobs? I will say this, though. I haven't seen too many dispatchers become pilots, but I have seen several pilots become dispatchers after they were furloughed or lost their medical. It must not be that hard of a job if a stupid pilot can do it.

By the way, what's a CL6, CL7, and CL9? As a dispatcher you should really know the correct identifiers for the aircraft you dispatch.

 

[Captain Morgan]

Additionally, just to clarify... It's true dispatchers have the same amount of responsibility getting that aircraft from A to B. Once the aircraft is in the air, the pilots are the ones with their a**es on the line and they can snatch that decision making from you just by uttering the word "emergency."
