Eagle to Furlough Hundreds

[CopilotDoug]

It seems that AE recognizes the ATR as a fuel efficient airplane...

Anyone at Delta think the same way?

??? Can someone explain this?

Just a year and a half ago they were bringing the SAABs out of the desert because of the money they made (being fuel efficient turboprops and all)

Why take them and the ATR away?

Seems like it's opening a financial wound further

Yes, I can tell that you immediately realized your lack of competence. That's why you spelled the other word so poorly.



Honestly, I've seen quite a few "their", "there", and "they're" errors, and even some "lose" and "loose" mistakes, so much that they're unfortunately common place. We've even had some "definately" errors (definitely) and some "congradulations" (congratulations). I've done both of them myself.

I've NEVER seen anyone spell "regards" wrong.

Didn't you refer to me as "stupid and you don't really understand what is going on"? Take a hard look in the mirror, junior, and be on "guard".

You forgot my favorite: "Priviledge" !!

Are those ATRs leased or are they owned by AMR?

The SAABs were coming out of the desert because it was quicker and cheaper to add capacity that way.

They're not inefficient turboprops, they're inefficient for turboprops based on the limited seating capacity compared to the ATR.

I think the transfer of ATRs to DFW has as much to do with reducing SJU flying in response to AA capacity reductions in the Carribbean. The spare airplanes will replace the SAAB 1 for 1 and allow a given capacity to be operated with fewer A/C and crews.

Are those ATRs leased or are they owned by AMR?

Owned, I believe.

However, they are all on the Executive certificate. While the pilots/FAs are each on one respective list, the Executive FAs are not trained on Eagl A/C and Eagle FAs are not trained on the ATR. I've heard there are issues with MX from one certificate working on A/C of the other.

Since we're hijacking this thread I'll throw in my personal favorite: asking for "advise" on a subject. That one really grinds on me for some reason.

By the way, shouldn't you spell it Asa since you spell it Skywest?

Actually, no. Asa (AY-sah) is the first name of the founder of the Coca-Cola Company, Mr. Asa Griggs Candler. The first name "Asa" is of Hebrew origin and was actually the 3rd king of Judah. The company name "ASA" (or A.S.A. if you will, pronounced AY-ES-AY) is made of the first initials of each word in the company's legal name, which is "Atlantic Southeast Airlines, Inc." Unfortunately, the term "ASA" can be commonly confused with numerous other organizations, such as the Autism Society of America, the American Softball Association, the American Society of Anesthesiologists, etc.

Es ist mir scheißegal how you wish to punctuate SkyWest. There, I fixed it. Happy?

How does it feel to be constantly picked on during recess just because you were idiotic enough to open your mouth where it didn't belong? I'm sure it's something you're used to.

Next.

Actually, there is a difference. Allow me to point it out for you.

But, then again, it's Wikipedia and I don't expect your fragile mind to believe anything that website has to say on anything.

Good luck to all of my friends who are still at the Beagle. From what I have heard from them is that the 35-40 RJs will be coming from TSA and Chicken Taco first, then the Saabs at Eagle, most seem to think that there will not be any furloughs based on how under staffed they are. Not sure how you came up with hundreds to be furloughed.

XPOO, do all of us a favor and go to www.DispatchInfo.com because we don't care about anything you write. You're an ill-tempered desk jockey. Since you were never able to make it as a pilot, you derive satisfaction in life from hobnobbing with us. You are that loser kid with no self esteem that always seems to hang out on the fringe of the group. We mock you and laugh at you constantly. Can I make it any clearer?

Get back to work pushing those papers. Oh, and keep reminding yourself that you and the captain share the responsibility for a flight 50/50.

I couldn't have said it better. Thank you, sir.

Granted, there are quite a few Dispatchers who float around on here, and that's all good and well. I'm sure we all find ourselves on other boards or in other Forums that don't directly pertain to ourselves. It really doesn't matter what who when what does what. We can all actually learn something here every once in a while, regardless (did I spell that right XPOOPIE?) of who submits it and what their position is. Some people just take it too far and don't know when to quit. JoeMerchant was that way for a while and finally backed off. General Lee is another who comes to mind.

XPOOPIE reminds me of the last kid to be picked during Dodge Ball or any other game. He more than likely had to wear Birth Control glasses in the military and it made his life horrible. He always has to stick his "key board" and "space bar" into the mix just to remind people that he's still here.

For those of you who don't know what "Birth Control" glasses were, they were these thick, black framed military issued eyeglasses during the late 80's and early 90's. The glasses were so ugly that there was no way you'd ever get laid. Just think "Revenge of the Nerds" and you'll get the picture.

Now what are you whining about? I fixed it. You no longer work for an Aussie, mate. Can't make you happy, can we?

Wait, I forgot. You're a Dispatcher. Of course we can't.

That's the origin of Drew Carey's pair. Seriously.

I believe it.
