Flight Option Tidbits

[dime line]

Let's have a show of hands. (metaphorically speaking) Who has heard the story of Shawn and the Toilet Paper? Better yet who has lived the story of Shawn and the Toilet Paper? When I first heard this story I thought it was a myth, but since I've heard it from at least 3 pilots with nearly identical details I think it has to be fairly credible. C'mon, you guys who lived the Shawn and the Toiler Paper adventure I invite you to add it to our Tidbits folder. It's an amusing and illustrative story. Who's gonna be first?

Well ya cant leave us hanging....

Patience

Well ya cant leave us hanging....

I thought I'd give the guys who lived it a day to post. I think it would be better straight from the horse's mouth.

 

[Spackler]

Never lived it but I heard that one. I heard that when $heetfinger was at Pinnacle, he had the crews take TP from the hotel to stock the airplanes.

 

[ProFracPilot]

There is no way this story can be true. As anyone who has worked for Shaun can attest, you're going to be staying at a flea bag hotel where TP useage is "pay as you go". When you're at a Super 8 in the 'hood there ain't no such thing as a spare roll to steal.

When a take a big, smelly Scheeringa, I'll be sure to wipe my Sanjay with a lot of Tyler paper!:cartman:

Bob you arrogant ass!

Every single thing that I despise about unions and the union mentality is stated in this post. Take down the company and all the employees that work there. Take away everybody's job security, paycheck and home life. Remove their benefits, their way of life, their careers and their futures because you don't think that management is doing it the right way and you ain't got the nuts to step into managment and try to make things better yourself. Your union leadership that has failed to negotiate a CBA is going to put every employee there at risk. An agreement is based on two sides agreeing, not just one. 34% of the pilots chose NOT to force a union into the company, yet they are living with the reality that they may be unemployed by the selfish and "know it all" 66% that did.

Be careful what you ask for, you wanted a union... you got yourself a union and all the joy that comes with it.

I LOVE my non-union airline.

Bob, You are such an arrogant ass! We voted in a Union beacuse you, Sheeringa and Sanjay are on a mission to destroy this company and take away everything that we have worked hard for and earned! You have failed to work with the employees of Flight Options and have clearly demonstrated that you only know how to run a company cheaply, not eficiently! You have taken away my job security by driving away owners with poor mx and service. You have killed my paycheck by taking away perdiem, failing to reimburse me for expenses, raised my insurance and cut my retirement. You have killed my way of life with your jackass move with the new "vacation bidding" and extra assigned days in November as well as taking away my domicile! For you to say that I don't have the nuts is a bold assumtion as it is you and your "team" that lacks the nuts to work with us! By working with the Union to establish a solid CBA and working relationship we will grow and be strong with sustainable profitability. With your continued actions to stall negotiations and run the course that you are running, it is you that is going to directly threaten all of the non-union employees of this company!

Bob, the only thing that I agree with you is that it will take both sides to agree to this! You clearly know what we want, so it is time for you to cut the crap and start working with us!

66% of the pilots didn't force a Union onto this company, You forced us to vote for protection and a say in our future, before you ran us into bankruptcy

Bob, You got the Union you deserved and we are here so get used to it and start working with us!

B19....Did this guy ever say he was NOT Bob T?

 

[nomore]

As told to me

At one of the USAir feeders Shawn's first gig in aviation stupidity was procurement. He got the big idea to quit buying that expensive toilet paper required by the ATR. In spite of the objections of those that knew better (sound familiar?) the crews were to bring the regular tp from the hotels for use in the ATR. I guess the ATR required something like camper toilet paper. Well the crews knowing better brought double and triple plies for use. Turns out the ATR toilet motors did not dig that and proceeded to burn up. At the tune of about 8 g's apiece. Well it seems to me things haven't changed much and our fearless leader hasn't learned much in his vast aviation experience. Like I say I did not live this cluster but I've heard it from more than one who did. Seems quite plausible. And what I like best is Shawn bid other's to do his dirty work, ie thievery, I bet BT wishes he could have been there.

 

[dash_trash]

Not sticking up for the guy, but Shawn's first aviation gig was with America West after he graduated from ASU.

Also, there have never been ATR's flying in USAir colors. Dash-8's yes, but nothing from France.

If there were problems with the a$$ wipe and the Dash, I never new about them, but that would be way down the list of reasons Shawn was soooo liked by the pilots.

He's been part of 3 Bankruptcies. The shut down of on division within USAir ... remember Metro jet. Retro-active pay and benefit cuts. The termination of pension plans, etc.

The company uses enough misleading facts against us in this battle, we don't want to stoop to their level.

First to admit it

Like I said I've only gotten this story second and third hand. But I've heard it so many times is there not even an element of truth in it? If not I take it all back. It ain't like I'm Options Management, I can admit when I've made a mistake.

 

[dash_trash]

No Worries

Just don't want to give the company any fodder they can turn on us.

Shawn's dislike for pilots is well known so I'm sure there is some truth in there some were.

 

[WabiSabi]

B19 Bob Bob Bob Bob Bob, We know that you're trying to portray yourself as working for some non union airline. I say horsesh|t! This isn't new. Just as you're doing as the VP of Flight Ops for FLOPS, you're trying to muck up this message board with you idiotic presentation of propaganda and attempts to obfuscate.

This is war and we have the growing solidarity to bring operations to a crawl during your precious peak travel days. With thorough preflights, no overtime, no answering phones prior to duty on time, the upcoming spike in resignations, etc. You and your puppeteers Mikey and Sanjay keep sealing the deal with your boneheaded moves like this latest vacation bid debacle. You can take your golden parachutes elsewhere (maybe on an admin flight to Cabo!!!). This is our company. Not yours! We built it. You guys are flying it into the ground. You may not think so as you are deluding yourselves with your so called metrics but, there is a such thing as pilot morale and that is a make or break deal. However, you wouldn't know anything about that from your Eastern days would you? Moron.

 

[Galaxy]

Did anybody ever figure out why he left TAG to come to FLOPS? Other than his lame excuse-Not to re-arrange the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Repeatedly, but nobody pays attention.

When all you do is spread crap, yea nobody listens to you

It's only crap until until you get burned by it. Then the stench becomes unbearable. Once you get burned by it, you can share the same stench as I did until I got the hell out of a union shop.

Bob, There you go with rhetoric and your usual lack of substance. Why don't you try to think for yourself instead of just regurgitating what is spoon fed to you?

 

[nomore]

Dwayne, Chuck, and now Reeve

You guys all know these fine fighters were all fired by the idiots and liars in FLOPS management didn't ya? Three very strong UNION supporters fired for bogus reasons. They are trying to put the fear into us. Well their tactics don't work on me, these are my brothers and I won't be scared or intimidated by the dopes that are running flops as their own little fiefdoms. How about you are you scared of liars and mental midgets? If not keep writing up your airplanes, call fatigue when you are tired. Together we can send Shawn, Babu and Scab Bob scurrying away from this place.

Anybody know a Clay?

 

[ProFracPilot]

He used to work sales in the N.E. with George Kocher.

Imagine that. Yet ANOTHER disgruntled ex-FlOps employee.

 

[bchjetdrvr]

Well I hope the day the site goes online is soon. Can't wait to see what he has to offer. Maybe it will be released on 11/08/07. You can't be too sure about these things.
