Darn, I was hoping to read of a horrible smelting accident.

 

[On Your Six]

I just finished a great 5 day trip worth twice what both of you clowns make, and I didn't have to go to the Mekong Delta like Freeturd to get it. Lee told me he had a long trip with turns to Paris out of CVG and SLC, or something like that. Sure beats the stuff you guys fly. Someday soon I hope to bid the International stuff too. Maybe someday you guys can interview and join USair.


Godspeed!

The ONE turn to Paris out of CVG a day?

I think we still have Paris flights from CVG? I think he said he was going back and forth from CVG to Paris and then finishing in SLC and a DH to ATL? Something like that. My own trip was nice with a long LAS layover and a SAN and TPA combo. I like flying to each coast, with a max of two flights a day. It was nice.


Godspeed!

There is a huge difference in the majors and regional sections on this forum. Most of these posts just warrant a laugh and no response but the lack of professionalism is glaring and not a surprise to anyone in this profession. Seems it used to be different.

OYS, stop talking about your alter ego. I honestly don't think you're fooling anyone but yourself. We know.

Beg to differ. Just read some of the SW/AT threads with the usual suspects posting in them. And NEITHER one even has a "dog in the fight" so to speak. Or just did up some old DAL/NW threads, pretty much the same.

Not sure how long ago that was, it IS FI afterall.

Still convinced we are the same person........ Well, we do have the same views on RJs, so that DOES make us the "bad GUY." Your posts lately have become pathetic, with you demanding flow up rights to an Airline that probably wouldn't hire you after any interview. Go off to the Middle East and stay there, and quit whining. Really, it shows.

BTW, I haven't been posting as much lately because I have been flying to really interesting places (3 Paris layovers within a week this last week, great food) and even I get tired of the banter sometimes, especially your whining 1015. Grow a pair and go out to the Middle East and find your career out there. Bring sunscreen.


Bye Bye---General Lee

This is an anonymous board that is mainly for entertainment, and then maybe some rumors. Don't take everything so seriously.

Thanks OYS! I'll consider it for sure! You still aren't fooling anyone.

...and even I get tired of the banter sometimes,

Really? Your 15,000+ (or is it 19,000?) posts seem to indicate otherwise.

You are the same person...and its obvious.

Flyer....when you come to the middle east be happy to know you will be making more money, have a better QOL, and you will always have a smile on your face as you gaze ahead at the beautiful scenery ahead (otherwise known as your cabin crew) especially when you realize if you were flying the same routes at a US carrier you would be staring at a bunch of "depends" diaper wrapped wrinkled up bitter prunes with legs.

I met a Delta CA in Osaka two weeks ago and he offered to trade me all of his Flight Attendants for just 1 of mine. I think his were all over 55 years old, a couple of them needed walkers, and a couple more probably had to walk through the cabin sideways they were so large.....we respectfully declined his offer.

There was an article on Deltanet recently about an FA who just retired after fifty-three years of service. And I thought, gosh, what a thing to put a fine point on, that not only there are FAs who are over fifty-three years of age, but ones that have been with the company that long.

Of all the wrong things to be proud of....

Let me guess, that marriage of yours didn't work out? If you are single and want to live in the Sandpit, go for it. Just don't get caught making out on the beach in Dubai, it can land you in jail. Flying there will NEVER be the same as living in the States and enjoying normal freedoms we do on a consistant basis. It's fun to fly to far away places, but being able to end a trip and go home and relax is priceless. You can try to say it's the same with your villas and expats in the same area, but it's just not. To each his own, and I hope 1015 gets to go to Doha (for Qatari) and stays out there.

Are you are curious as me to see what a fabulous specimen of a male Varmint is?
Perhaps he can post a photo so we can judge! (yeah, like THAT will ever happen!)

Maybe you don't have to be one thanks to all of the super hot EK flight attendants out there? Then flyer1015 might have a chance! He sure won't if he stays at Pinnacle.

General Lee/On Your Six,

You're mixing two different things. Your statement should have read "living there will never be the same as living in the States." NOT "flying there will never be the same as living in the States." The flying is the same. I can assure you Bernoulli's principle works the same in Dubai as it does in Atlanta, albeit, much hotter in Dubai. The flying is not the issue at hand. In fact, when it comes to flying, EK comes far ahead than just about any carrier here. Your starting salary/overall compensation package, fleet types, career advancement and stability are far higher at EK than any carrier here. Look at some of our longer expat pilots in the sandpit, people like GoldenFalcon who got screwed out of Eastern or typhoon-pilot who had his career at US Air go to crap. You think either of them ever looked back? Where they are now is a far better position than had they stayed here, making crap wages and watching their pension go poof!

I will give you that Dubai's rules and laws are different. One must know what they are getting into before just jumping in. If you see just a shiny 777 and that's it, Dubai will come as a shock. But the ones I know that are smart, like a ASA Captain who posts here (11 year guy, I think) took his wife and his 2 daughters for a several week vacation to Dubai to check the whole place out. They liked it enough to okay the move to Dubai. In the end, it's about expectations and what you make of it. Come in open minded and know what things can be like, you won't be disappointed. Set up certain expectations especially unrealistic ones, and you're in for disappointment.

As for QR, I've eliminated them since the day they decided to start witholding the bond from your salary, 1200 USD per month, for at least 18 months. That's a draconian practice done to stop the bleeding of pilots. If guys aren't sticking around until at least their bond length (3 years) then something is seriously wong with the airline pay/QOL package. Even the pi$$ed off EK guys I know have stayed (or will stay) at least 3 years.

I will not just blindly make a move. Anything I do has to be calculated, and make sense to do it.

There was an article on Deltanet recently about an FA who just retired after fifty-three years of service. And I thought, gosh, what a thing to put a fine point on, that not only there are FAs who are over fifty-three years of age, but ones that have been with the company that long.

Check DeltaNet again. There's now a FA with 60 years of service at Delta!

And by the way, General Lee and On Your Six, now only are you both the same people, but I put a 90% chance of you being an Airtran pilot. Not Delta. Post history revisit has got my hunch placing you at Airtran. Several others have called you out as an Airtran pilot too. I think it makes sense. And besides, no Delta guy I know gloats about having a Paris layover 3 times in a week. The ones I know beotch about going to the same 3 cities (LHR, AMS, and CDG) every single month. Those are true Delta pilots, calling it like it is.
