FDX Sen. List updated

[TAZ MAN]

If the shoe fits... Seriously "Taz" (which is apparently your actual name), if you continuously sound like a jackarse every time you post, how am I to be left with any other impression of you? BTW, I'll be happy to PM you my name and number if it'd make you feel any better about being a JACKARSE.

My thoughts are this: people actually interviewing at various airlines might be interested to get some anonymous, inside perspective from pilots at those companies. If this board contained nothing but threads related to "tell me about a time" strategies and sim profiles, those current employees wouldn't be too intrigued to visit and contribute. Thus it has evolved to an open format with a WIDE variety of topics, at least some of which are bound to be of interest. As a result you've got an awful lot of folks hanging around shooting the breeze who are not themselves looking for interview info. What they contribute in terms of insight and scoop can prove invaluable to someone on the outside looking in. So stop worrying about what everyone else is posting (I'm pretty sure you're not a moderator) and get back to nursing your inner child. Did I mention Taz is a JACKARSE?

Once again....one who slings insults while hiding behind the mask is a coward. Go ahead and PM me with your name and number. I'm sure you wouldn't anyways. Not only wouldn't...but good sense would tell you that you shouldn't. It doesn't change the fact that your insults while hiding behind the mask on this forum appear cowardly.

I can't believe how wound up you guys get about this nonsense.

 

[TAZ MAN]

TAZ= A bitter Jackass rejected by many airlines, including Fedex. Makes himself feel better by attacking those who made the smart decisions of rejecting him.

Another coward. Keep slinging the insults brave man.

Never applied to Fedex. Great job but didn't want to deal with those kind of schedules. Plus it appears I wouldn't have been a good fit for you guys. The airline I fly for doesn't act cowardly on this forum when some disagree with them. Be careful on who you say you fly for and the content of your messages. Whether you like it or not you do represent your airline. And I'm not very impressed with the Fedex guys right now.

Ohhhhh.........our feelings are hurt. Booo hooo!!

Seems to me you have the same problem.

I find it interesting that its only the guys that have a military background that are being so weird about this nonsense. Some how I've really touched a nerve with you guys.

This is a true statement. I must admit that there are groups on here that I have developed an opinion of based on their responses. The SWA guys are generally a respectful group. As what their culture is said to be. I think they have done the best on this board. It has impressed me. Others have done very well also. And then others....well...lets leave it at that.

There are some pretty caustic responses from the FEDEX guys on this thread.

uuhhh......no.

Only a military guy would be as arrogant and clueless to think that civilians are envious of the military background. Speaking for many...we think otherwise.

TAZ MAN,


Don't you have a barbeque to fire up in the back yard?

Give it a rest, man.

I would thought more of you. By responding to this you are supporting all the other comments of your fellow people on this thread. Disappointing.

Hey guys


Taz is now on my ignore list. Go to User CP and add him. Nothing personal, Taz. I do see your lips moving, but all I hear is blah, blah, blah.

Tony, I do have a BBQ to light, and too many rug rats running around to stay in here (but not as many as you!) Flame on, that is, on my BBQ only.

No loss. Nothing personal. All I hear is just another Fedex ex-military guy once again thinking so highly of himself that I would care if I was on the ignore list and blah blah blah blah whatever.

You guys are just proving my point. You belong somewhere else.

klhoard,

And be like you!! You've been brainwashed. What you had...wasn't that great to me. Glad you think it made you better. Keep telling yourself that your better than the civilians. The civilians really know and are laughing their arse off at you. You are such the stereo type military. You make the good guys from the military look bad. Good job iceman. I know you need the last word. Most guys like you do. So have had it.

Kroger's running their ribeyes at $5.99 / lb. That's not a steak or two, that's the entire ribeye. I had the butcher slice one up about 1¼" thick - - awesome steaks, excellent price. I was shootin' for medium rare, but wound up more like plain ole medium. Anybody have a good method of hitting medium rare? Mind you, I'm using charcoal, so the temperature control is somewhat less than precise. Even at medium, they were mighty tasty, juicy, tender... well, put it this way, there was moaning goin' on while they were being devoured.

Anyway, I'm gonna go buy another today and freeze 'em.


Oh, did I mention I moved up 93 numbers?






Did y'all know that the traditional gift for the twentieth wedding anniversary is china, while the modern gift is platinum? I just thought you might find that interesting.

I moved up 97 numbers, I guess that means I'm gaining on you??

I'll have to sit down someday and compare last year's seniority list to this year's so I can figger out who betwixt us has left.

Medium rare

[QUOTE= Anybody have a good method of hitting medium rare?




From PETA (People who Eat Tasty Animals) Rub steak on both sides with small amount of oil then season with salt and pepper. Put over hot coals and don't touch for two minutes, pick up and rotate 90 degrees with tongs (never use a fork). Flip after two minutes and repeat (the rotating will give you cool looking grill marks). The steak should feel like the palm of your hand under your thumb. Let it rest for 5 min before eating.

Keep that list moving!

I've got the seasoning part down, and I've got a good handle on the grill marks and handling techniques. (Hey, I'm not a greenhorn, here.) Since the distance from the coals, the temperature of the coals, and the thickness of the steaks are rarely mentioned in these intructions, the only technique that really stands alone is the "palm of your hand under your thumb" test.

So, is this the palm of my youth, before the manual labor began in earnest? Is it the toughened palm of adulthood, the years of hard, manual labor? Or is it the palm of today, softened by a comfortable job and teenagers to mow the lawn?

And does it apply equally to steaks of various thickness? Say, does it work the same for a ¾" steak as a 1¼" steak? (I like the thicker ones, personally.)


Thanks for the help.

[CWGrizwald]

Thickness makes all the difference. 1/4 inch thick?, don't bother, pound it out to 1/8 and make paillard out of it, which is to sear it for 10 seconds per side on a very hot cast iron skillet. Good question about softness of palm, but you forgot to mention hardness after 3 months at Al Udied. I think teenages mowing the lawn is probably about right, I've just arrived there myself. The only sure fire way is temp, and as much as I hate to poke a hole in the steak, an instant read chef's thermometer will work. Cook the steak until 140 then pull it off, you'll get another 5 degrees while it sits.


What was this thread about again? I'm getting hungry.

 

[TonyC]

That was THREE-quarter inch, not one... I'd not have such a slice of meat in my house.



I think I'll have to break down and spring for the thermometer at some point in time. As long as I cook the steaks evenly, I should be able to sacrifice one of them with a poke or two, right? (As long as I know which one to avoid at the dinner table. )






.

 

[CWGrizwald]

Oops, sorry, getting my quarters mixed up. One poke shouldn't hurt the steak, especially a 1 1/2. Oh, I also remembered what this thread was about, seems Mr. Taz was worried that some folks aren't using this forum for it's intended purpose. Shame on you. So, I'm glad the list is moving as that most likely means hiring will continue which is good news for us wanna-bees. What kind of wine do you serve with your steaks?

 

[TonyC]

What kind of wine do you serve with your steaks?

Usually Diet Coke, but I like ice water, too. Diet Dr. Pepper is my favorite.


Have you tried those Splenda drinks? I haven't quite decided yet if I like them.

 

[AlbieF15]

Um, Tony...the way I always check the "show" steaks for company is I cut into one of the kids steaks to check the color inside. How's that for "poor technique". Since several steaks get sliced into kid friendly bites anyway, the lack of expertise is rarely apparent to those unless they are hawking me at the grill.

...and since watching me cook is a 4 beer minimum, by the time we are grilling the guest is too toasted to care anyway!

Its not that I don't like you guys, its that no other airline uses this board as a way to communicate with each other about your own business that most all other airlines pilots don't give a rats a$$ about.

You haven't read the Island Air thread, have you?
