FO sick out Dec 21st-25th

[LiveFreeorDie]

Friend of mine said he is trying to get every FO in the country to call in sick starting the day Congress goes into recess.

Anyone heard anything?

 

[Quack]

goodluck

 

[PCL_128]

Yeah, have fun with that.

 

[contrail67]

Let us all know how that goes for you....

 

[Freight Dog]

Aw damn... I'm off for the holidays!

 

[JPAustin]

Sounds like something I did in junior high protesting some cause we were all passionate about. Pretty much a quick way to get in trouble and end up doing nothing for your cause.

 

[capt. megadeth]

I just started a trip and caught a cold from hell. I'm probably going to have to call in sick this week because I am really getting sick....so, I'm on board!

 

[Jet41]

That might be the funniest thing I've ever heard.

 

[Mike man]

Mr. LiveFreeorDie, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

LMFAO!!:laugh: Right on the money!

If I get Junior assisgned on XMAS, I'm gonna find you buddy.

 

[ironspud]

Ah. The good old annual "Sick Out For Christmas" thread. Was waiting for it.

 

[labbats]

When I graduated from first grade, all my dad did was tell me to get a job.

 

[Whataburger]

Ah. The good old annual "Sick Out For Christmas" thread. Was waiting for it.

...And comming to a theater near you, "What did you make on your 2007 W2."

How true. I also look forward to the "My airline is better than yours" thread.

Now that is fu@king hilarious!!! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:.

 

[whymeworry?]

we're Americans, not Europeans... we don't know anything about how to organize and protest.

If only people would remember what happened back in Boston in 1773!

The days of Americans protesting in mass ended in the early 1970s. Sadly America has become grossly apathetic, which I am sure the goverment and corporate America love to expoit!

Wow... Your friend knows all the FO's in the country?

 

[FlyinGuy]

Live free or Die...you my friend are an idiot!!!

Mike...I have been spinning my wheels trying to remember where that quote came from...

 

[dtfl]

How true. I also look forward to the "My airline is better than yours" thread.

Don't forget the FI.com staple thread - "Let's bash XXX airline because they are doing well this week"


But seriously..is this to protest age 65? what about the FOs who are 58 years old that are happy as hell. What about the 29 yr FOs who want to work 36 more years?
I'll sick out. Already am. On crutches.

 

[dtfl]

Now that is fu@king hilarious!!! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:.

It was funny in Billy Madison and is funny now

The last time there was any meaningful protest in this country, Allison, Sandy, Jeff and Billy were murdered by a bunch of weekend warriors.

Go for your sick-out!

 

[Whiskey Tango]

In theory I believe in age 65. Actually I think tighter medical standards and no age limit is best. I also hate smoking bans in theory. In reality I love not smelling like cigarette smoke and age 65 is screwing me

So what you're saying is that you like taking it up the b*tt from a 65 year old captain while he is smoking..........moron.

As far as the sick out I've talked to five people so far that don't plan on showing up for christmas. I have it off otherwise I probably would send in my sick note in an enima bag.

 

[Getter]

Just babysat a 59 1/2 year old Captain yesterday. Somehow, I can't imagine his skills improving over the next 5 1/2 years. Lovely.

 

[ultrarunner]

ahhh...the 'baby-sitting' years. classic.

 

[eaglefly]

Word is out now, the sickout has been cancelled due to gutlessness.

Back to work for the career F/O's.

 

[RCA]

Easyily the most entertaining thread of 2007!

 

[aerobato]

Sick out? Hell no, I'm getting double time for 6:40 block on xmas. That should pay for the cheap gifts that I got for my family.....
