"CACTUS" starts tomorrow!

[CrimsonEclipse]

New call sign...

Well now... that's gonna change everything.

just change the paint to a "new" or "retro" scheme.

So you see yourself as some kind of victim?

My analogy probably wasn't the best, but we west pilots are defending ourselves against a bigger(more numbers) bully. Actually, 18 line pilots don't have much choice, they were drug into court by the fine catpiss union for horror of all horrors, web board posts.

So exactly how is a west guy supposed to quit fighting amongst other pilots when he is drug into court over chicken********************?

 

[becket]

Oooh, not good, not good at all! Didn't you read the court case? USAPA is blaming all the jumpseat denials on some conspiracy between the west pilots and the rest of the commercial airline industry against their poor pilots who are just trying to voice their opinion while begging for a free flight to work. I think they might look into agressive panhandling laws that exist in many cities to give them and their followers (I DIDN'T say lemmings!) guidance on how to behave w/r/t the jumpseat.

I love the USAPA thought process. They sue their own pilots for denying jumpseats to the East as well as somehow "encouraging" JS denials at other airlines like Alaska who have denied eastholes. The JS is clearly under the "captains authority" umbrella.

Then, when the company wants to give 8 out of 5300 pilots additional education on fuel planning, they take out a hundred-plus thousand dollar add in USA today claiming that their sacred, (wait for it) CAPTAINS AUTHORITY!!! is being trod upon!

It's a one way street for these myopic, doomed losers. They're a cancer that will be killed one way or another. It's just a matter of time. They're too stupid, ham-handed and transparently fratricidal to live long.

 

[Flying the Line]

2 questions.

Will the USA flights be tagged AWE for ATC or still use USA.

Will the flight carry HP, US, or both.

Both USA.

No offense but with my speech impediment it sounds like I'm saying "catpiss".

Don't worry, being handicapped is nothing to be ashamed of. Something to think about for the future...I'm pretty sure your insurance covers speech therapy. Good luck with that.


Your saying "catpiss" on the radio is like an AWA pilot trying to look sloppy in the USAir uniform. It might make you feel better, but in both cases, everyone else just thinks you're a dick with no self respect or self dignity.

Happy Labor Day!

Lighten up Francis!

Lighten up Francis!

My name is Psycho. Any of you call me Francis....I'll kill you.

And I don't like people touching me, or my stuff. Any of you homo's touch my stuff...I'll kill you.

Whatever you say, Frances.

 

[FLYLOW22]

Win? Nope! The Cactus call sign will be amusing for me, nothing else.

Boy, you "ex", "furloughed", "junior" Airways guys sure are bitter.:crying:

No sir... just entertained at this point.

 

[FurloughedAgain]

Boy, you "ex", "furloughed", "junior" Airways guys sure are bitter.:crying:

My bitterness has decreased with time. Now I just don't give a rats behind what happens to you guys provided it doesn't impact my flight if/when I buy tickets to Disney for the family vacation.

I didn't know the west guys and gals were wearing the black uniforms yet. Are the F/As wearing blue like they talked about. Black and blue uniforms, isn't that fitting.

 

[Whataburger]

As expected today out west I hear:

Controller: Cactus 123 climb and maintain FL230.

Pilot: USair climb to FL230

Controller: I said Cactus 123 climb and maintain FL230

Pilot: Oops, uh, yea, sorry......Cactus 123 climb and maintain FL230.

 

[GuppyWN]

A small victory I assume but I'll bet every Cactus dude that hears that on the radio smiles a little inside.

No offense to either side but I feel for both groups. I hope you guys find peace.

Gup
