FLOPS pilots doing overtime!

[CALRepublic]

Ran into 2 flops pilots wearing 1108 lanyards and pins that were on Day 10. Called to check with dispatch and confirmed the OVERTIME! We have some real snakes in the grass. Watch out!

you actually called dispatch to check on that???

What prompted you to call, where they wearing a special sign or were they advertising the fact that they were working OT???

Personally I don't believe you called. You just don't have anything better to do with your life

Many of us rarely come to this site anymore, it is because of threads like these

I'm so sure. You called dispatch and they told you day 10.

Raise the Bullsh!t Flag.

WOW Skanza, you really are scum! Would you like to send some of us furloughed pilots some of that overtime money your making? It would really help putting food on the table for my kids. I can't believe pilots at Options are doing OT while we have furloughed pilots looking for work anywhere and with management drawing out the contract.

Easy, cowboy. These guys are probably working OT due to heavy travel. It's not like they're working to cover the lack of headcount - like you are implying.

Oh, calling me scum gets you nowhere, I'm just making statements as this is an open discussion board....

sit your azz down in the right seat and get me a cup of coffee and ill explain what is wrong with to you.

You have a lot to learn yet about aviation.

Seriously though, it would be better if you just didnt post for a while, it'll make you look a lot less ignorant.

I don't understand your holier-than-thou, I'm the captain approach to responding to me. Nor does your lack of understanding about CRM make you look less ignorant (i.e. the right seater doesn't just "get coffee for you" and "tune the radios"). You seem have a lot to learn about aviation, it's not the 60s, man.

Just another reason for me to believe that you are NOT a line pilot. If you have to wonder why, then there is you answer...sorry, can't make it any simpler than that.

like he said....you dont "get it"

there is alot more to being a captain then you think.

Id be glad to help you learn. And it aint got anything to with swinging the gear or gettin me coffee. Everyone else understands, but you dont.

Its your attitude that is poor. Instead of saying "yeah that sucks" or "I agreee with that" you like to pick fights. That tells me that YOU have a lot to learn, and what you need to learn, dont have that much to do with flying.

Everyone else knows what im talking about.

Obviously you don't get it. It doesn't matter what the reason is, there is NO good excuse. If management didn't have these scum doing OT, then they would have to call back a furloughed pilot to get the coverage they need, even if it was only temporary or on a contract basis!

Think about what you would want the other pilots to do if the situation were reversed, and you were the one unemployed. Don't be selfish and short sighted.

NO OT 'til ALL the furloughed pilots are back, No excuses !

Moderators, could you please PM an explanation for the removal of my response without a word? Nothing I said was personal or proprietary.

Thanks.

Can't say it any better. Get rid of the extra toys or go do some contract work. Don't STAB me in the back.

So you say I don't get it because I'm not the kind of pilot that goes around with my d!ck in my hand saying "I'm the captain, I fly this jet - look at me". I guess just because a person is more humble than you means they don't "get it"? Well, it depends on on you define as "it", I probably don't want to.
I don't have the poor attitude, I was just raising the question of what's wrong with pilots flying OT. You haters are the ones picking fights and flaming me. Geez....
