ASA What do you tell Pax when you don't have a gate?

[John Pennekamp]

delta's fom has about 40 sample pa's for all kinds of passenger issues - grow up - they are there for the unprofessional as cliff notes

do you think we are the only airline who has to wait for gates - dal, airtran and others have problems just as big as ours

i love watching crews race at full cruise power to the airport, land 10 minutes early and then bitch about not getting parked for 10 minutes

or better - captain delays a flight to get something to eat on E, taking his sweet time - then pushes 15 late - the flight arriving 10 early makes forty calls to ops, occ and alpa complaining about how bad the operation is run

My God, you are the biggest management shill I've ever heard of. Do you just take management's side with EVERYTHING? You must be the most perfect pilot that's ever walked the hallowed halls of ASA!

For the love of God, if you can't say ANYTHING nice about our pilot group, then please just keep your opinion to yourself! We are tired of hearing you bash our pilot group in your never ending holier-than-thou rants!

oh yeah....15 minute dinner break is just an extreme "take your sweet time" pleasure.

And the reason the captain did not have time to properly feed his crew is...?

Meanwhile, crjskipper does not allow any of his crew to meet their daily nutritional needs. Flight departs on time with a severely fatigued crew. Way to run a safe operation! Sounds like careless and reckless operation to me...

All I know is that a 121 flight can't depart with just one pilot. If a FO departs hungry because their captain won't let them run inside to grab food it's their own fault.

Patients= Wow! there sure are a lot of patients in the waiting room

Patience= Those people are losing their patience in the waiting room

A bus driver wouldn't care to know the difference
A pilot should

"Folks from the flightdeck, sorry we don't have a gate for you yet. They are currently being occupied by CHQ and Freedom for cheaper wages." As soon as we sell our souls for more flying we'll get you right in. Once again thank you for choosing ASA part of the Delta Conection."
