We'll gee Bubba, I was flying 727's with them. They flew sooo much better than the zoomies, and considering the rotary wing time, who set those standards? Maybe the same bozos who insisted upon a degree in advanced basket weaving.
The salient facts are, your lifestyle is the result of unions and union activity. You know, socialism. Your job is the result of job requirements which favor "Your" background regardless of actual skill or experience. Try to give that some consideration during your first adversarial experience, when your counting on the support of other pilots.
Hey, do me a favor and try to stick to one conversation at a time, will ya'?
1. You said "helo pilots"; you mentioned
nothing about 727s. Make up your mind, already. Senior moment?
2. What has my lifestyle and unionism got the first thing to do with what we were discussing? My company hired me, not my union. My job
is the result of my background (and sparkling personality, of course!), which has a
lot to do with actual skill and experience. Airline hiring standards are set by hiring managers who have the benefit of literally generations of observation, trial and error, and the advice of pretty smart people. Fortunately for the world and the traveling public,
nobody makes hiring decisions based on anecdotes and advice from washed-up has-beens like yourself.
3. There's a difference between believing in unions and believing in socialism. One only need compare me with PCL to see
that difference. You and Wave don't seem to be able to accept that someone can agree with having unions without being a democrat, simply because it invalidates a good deal of your argument. That's
your problem, not mine.
4. Besides, what do YOU care about unions and unionism? You're a proud scab wanna-be:
I think Flopgut has some inside knowledge regarding the mess perpetuated by the UAL MEC in 86 and frankly I never crossed a line but I would cross a UAL line.
5. I've been in adversarial positions before, but don't worry Maru--I'll continue to give your ideas and advice absolutely zero consideration in those situations.
Bubba
