Not arguing, but isn't it 2 tries and out the door if you flunk the 3rd?

At UAL? Are you high? You are right about the 3rd strike and your out thing...that applies to everyone else.....but there are some exceptions for SOME ( we'll just leave it at SOME) at UAL. I'm willing to bet that 500 is probably a bit shy of the real figure. And actually, some are probably sitting at home collecting a pay check but are not allowed to fly the line......probably better than a law suit. I have heard that is the case for a few over there as well......

My "high"ness is often in question, but in this case I'm relatively coherent. Perhaps you need to read this thread all the way through. I was referring to JB.
 
Your "highness,"...you are right. I guess I got caught up with the 500 UAL permanent right seaters thing.

But I couldnt agree more with the 3 strikes and your out thing....either at JB or anywhere for that matter...

He is a real Richard Cranium that works for AAI. Suffers from the junior birdman syndrome and takes regular shots at UAL due to his inability to secure a job there.

I see that you deleted your previous post. For those who missed it..... I posted it above...... in it 32LT10 decided to suggest that one of the posters on Flightinfo whom 32LT10 dislikes and continually bashes is no longer posting on flightinfo because he is a AirTran Pilot dead killed in the Comair crash. The AirTran Pilot killed in the comair crash and his family DOES NOT deserve some chicken sh!t accuasation and association from a cowardly P.O.S. like you.

32LT10, you can spin the statement all you want.... it was a tasteless despicable dig at a dead comrade that you just couldn't resist. You are a despicable person who should have been removed from these forums when you made your previous tasteless coments regarding the crash at Valujet.

I do not mind the banter and arguments that go on these forums.... but I despise people who use death as a weapon for their diatribes.

I have requested that you be permanently banned, because you obviously have nothing to contribute rather than just use tragic circumstances to hurt people and some sort of sick enjoyment level. You aren't interested in banter.... you are interested in hurting people....period.

Also.... pray that you don't ever reveal your identity to those of us on these forums. My guess is that you are a First officer at an airline OTHER than United, and that pretending to be a United captain is simply your way of cowering anonymously behind your keyboard.

BTW You want to know who I am.... PM me.... because unlike you, I'm not some big mouthed coward who is afraid of who i am and what I say here....

Like I said, its a good myth for people who have the need to feel superior - "That other airline has 200 hour pilots hired because they are minorities - we're better, or that's why I didn't get hired." All a bunch of BS.

You must not have been around in the late Eighties/ early Nineties. UAL had an "internship" program at my University flight program, and at some other schools, as well. There were plenty of women and minorities and children of UAl pilots hired out of that program with only 450-650tt and no turbine time.

To deny that this was going on is laughable.

Yup... just ban him.. be done with the bull... so sick of that crap. Not professional at all.

I'm going fishing... again.. Peace I'm out.
 
It is long overdue and very refreshing to see the 32LT10 in red. FL717 nice post but I think the moderators removed his original reprhensible post. He didn't even have enough class, guts or courage to take it down himself.

Don't forget the time he was banned for making sexual comments about another posters daughter. A real class act. I'm pretty sure I know who he is based on similar anti-JetBlue rantings on the UAL-ALPA board, but having no way to prove it, I'll keep it to myself.
 
I don't think Bosley was the AirTran guy.

The accident happened 8/27 at 6:07 AM EDT and Bosley's last log in was 8/28 at 6:20 FI Time.

Yah, I know (as we all do) a low time wonder that got hired at UAL through an internship at college who just got her multi....15 hrs worth....no turbine time and the only jet time she had was playing with little model airplanes. Wow, did she ever become cocky and arrogant. So much for being grateful or having some respect for those who got shot down with thousands more hours than she had because she was determined to be more "qualified" for the job. Shame on all those UAL pilots/HR people who were involved in hiring these "qualified" folks.

32L...I hope that your gone for good. Your respect for others, and especially the Air Tran pilot who passed away, is clearly lacking. I seriously would have thought that an individual with your background (as you say anyway) would be able to maintain composure and have character enough to act as an adult here at FI. I think that you have shown us all that you can do neither and are not worthy of being here at all.

Take your lousy and arrogant attitude back to Denver or ORD and go back under that rock which you crawled out from. Please dont bother coming back here again............

Still bitter you couldn't get hired in the other 99% of people United hired?

No, not at all. I am much better off where I am at right now than I would have ever been at UAL. I am not bitter that I didnt get hired, but I am bitter for some of my friends who had plenty of jet time time and PAID THEIR DUES that all got turned down so as to make way for the young college minorities who were found to be more "qualified." But, I can only guess that perhaps they too are much better off today not being at UAL either.

Your 99% figure is interesting and a bit high, wouldnt yah say? Seems like everytime I go through ORD or DEN, I count a lot of.....well, you know. They are everywhere. JS'ed on one UAL flight about 10 yrs ago....one of your young chk co-pilots, probably didnt even have a permissions slip to be out of class flying that 737, asked me what I was flying. She didnt know what a Brasilia was.....I am sure that she was familiar with carb heat and magnetos though....even your cptn on that flight was embarrassed by her question concerning the Brasilia. Thats what I mean about paying some dues.....

I know that a number of UAL female furloughees were incensed to learn that they didn't meet the PIC requirements to get hired at some of the airlines that were hiring . . . . "But I was a 757 FO at United!" . . . .

Uh, huh. That and $1.72 will get you a cup of coffee at the LAX Starbucks, babe.

So you personally know "a number" of female UAL furloughees and they were all incensed? Give me a break. Maybe in your dreams.
 
In my dreams? uh, no. The last time a UAL female pilot has looked good enough to appear in my dreams was probably around Spring Break 1989

Do you actually doubt that were quite a few female FO's furloughed from United that had been hired there without 500 turbine PIC?

"But I was a 757 pilot for United Airlines!"

Anyone attending a job fair in 2002 could have seen/heard the incensed furloughed females squawking about it.

I dont actually know any furloughed UAL chks, but do know some that got hired with 800TT, a very few hrs of multi time and no PIC or turbine time....unless you want to count PIC time in a 172. I cant think of any other major US airline that has hired folks in the past with that type of experience to fly a passenger airliner around, let alone having 250TT as the minimums for an applicant.
 
If you want to make $79/hr max for your whole career and fly with the real senior eastern scabs, then I guess there probably are some career fo's at valujet. I don't know, is that right ty? LOL.
 
We got a of ton of scabs at United. Now that Miami is closed they are all over the place. Half of the former crews in MIA where Scabs.
So I guess some do not the history of United, because we and Continental are a Scab haven.

Thank you

Marty
 
I don't champion scabs or what they stand for....but if there is ever another strike against ALPA..I doubt they will ever be able to hold a picket line. They have alienated many pilots over the last few years.

Actually, that 79/hr is probably better than what the guys/GALS are getting at UAL. And as we know, there are plenty of scabs at UAL none the less.

Not true, pathetic no doubt but your statement is inaccurate. Narrow body tops out at $90 while 57/67's top out at $104 and $124 for the widebodies. While Airtran stops stone cold at $79.

Yep, we's gots them. Strange bunch no doubt mostly hired in 85. It's a wonder how we get planes off the ground with all the scabs and 15 hour female chick pilots we have and no red blooded anglo american apple pie eaten white guy's like you all to save them.....Sarcasm off.

Cheers

Why do the United pilots get so sensative to what was so obvious with their hiring quotas and profiles in the past?
