Hey Cactusboy

[Caspian27]

And we wonder why we have no unity...

This isn't even an AWA/AAA poo slinging contest.

general/737/degree mill bill,

Seriously no need to get testy and jealous. The day when you no longer have to sling gear and talk on the radio will one day arrive. When that day comes you'll have all the time you need to physically attend a real institution of higher learning and get a real degree...not just one you pay for and they send you in the mail. Just remember though, a real institution of higher learning won't give you "credit" for "life experience". Sorry bout that. Till then....

6.7 ba ba BILLION!

See ya!

Yeap, it tells me that you chose the wrong pony in 88

Dude...be careful with that....some carriers look real good sometimes...then one bad decision by mgmt...and "poof" the spiral starts.....

...and that bad decision has nothing to do with pilots.

I disagree, when a guy keeps returning to that diseased animal of an airline, after multiple furloughs, he has no one to blame but himself.

On the list for 17 years and furloughed for 10?!...on two, (soon to be 3) separate occasions?

Notice that 1400 of the 1879 furloughed guys Declined their 3rd recall to NEVER returned. That's called good judgment in my mind.

Hi Steven:
Remember, you wrote this, just last month:

I was dead set on keeping ALPA on the property. That is until you began to chime in. Thanks for changing my mind and voting ALPA out. You deserve a medal.

And this just last year......

Never said I take it for granted. As you pointed out I'm "training PSA pilots since I'm a J4J Capt." Looks like I'm taking advantage of it.

​

While I'm sure calling it, ehem, retirement:laugh: , makes you feel a lot better, the rest of the industry calls it FURLOUGH! Enjoy it, I'm sure it pays more than the 190! But maybe not as much as PSA! Either way, I'm sure your, laughable degree is the same as your........LMFAO......Retirement!

Buh Bye,
your $6.4 Billion loss pal,

Marty;
I'm sorry that I haven't had time to respond. I'm not sure who you are, but you apparently know who I am. I've been a little busy. Our youth pastor's son was killed in a roadside bombing yesterday in Afghanistan.

James Finley was a good young Christian man who served our country with bravery and dignity. Our only solace is that James is resting in the arms of the one true living God, and that we (his family) will see him one day very soon.

If you re-read the post I am simply advising AWA pilots to remain informed. I called the line a couple of times this week (two changes) myself. I can not be held responsible for the actions of other AWA pilots. Since there are about 1800 of us, I would presume that a couple of hundred calls per day would be in order. If 200 different pilots called once a day, that would only be 9 days for all AWA pilots to get the changing news.

You will be pleased to know that I am tired of trying to get through a logical argument pertaining to the completed seniority integration with our two pilot groups. It is too late for that, too late for a better contract, and unfortunately a waste of time and key strokes.

I will stand by my cadre of America West Pilots to the end. We will not be bullied into an association that has no regard for us, no intention to truthfully work in OUR best interests, and every intention of taking what does not belong to them. I will tell you this. Your actions against my AWA pilot group have tested my Christian ethics and morals on a daily basis. What is most important is rarely discussed on this site.

God's Speed James.

 

[waveflyer]

If you'll accept them- you have my prayers for James as well. God - speed, indeed. Our thanks and consolances. I'm sorry for your loss and wish you comfort.

For James: John 15:13...a hero. My condolences...really.

For cactusboy: Matthew 5:44...that's the hard one.

Sincerely,

So your roommate posts on Flight Info pretending to be you by using your handle/password - which you must have lovingly supplied. How so very sweet uke: - obviously you two really like each other.

Man, you must have let him post a lot. Here your United roommate in dc in Sep 2006 asking if JetBlue has career FOs...is his name Marty also?
http://forums.flightinfo.com/showthread.php?p=1104416#post1104416

The reason I am asking is that at my prior airline we had a couple of FO's that were not able to pass their Captain upgrade and were let go after their second try. Two that I know now fly for JetBlue.
At United we have at least 500 permanent FO's. What happens if you can not upgrade at Blue?
Curious minds want to know?

We got a of ton of scabs at United. Now that Miami is closed they are all over the place. Half of the former crews in MIA where Scabs.
So I guess some do not the history of United, because we and Continental are a Scab haven.
Thank you

as Marty. the United pilot commenting on the USAir merger:
http://forums.flightinfo.com/showthread.php?p=1212983#post1212983

USAir was not going out of business. USAir was in better shape then your 1980's startup airline. I had America West Capt. in my new hire class in 1994 and he said that Americas Worst was going to shut down or merged.
Americas Worst is and was a joke. I am just glad you guys merged with AAA. My worst nightmare was when every one speculated United and Americas Worst were going to merge.
Americas Worst=Bottom feeder were the turn over rate was so big, you had classes every week to fill the attrition in the late 90's.

Marty, the United pilot who is MCDU's roommate at the crashpad in dc, about his ORD base:
http://forums.flightinfo.com/showthread.php?p=1188390#post1188390

I guess all the America West pilots furloughed had little chance of ever flying a jet again, so did the United pilots on furlough. Every dam legacy carrier furloughs pilots some time during their time. A furlough is part of your career progression. Some get lucky, but usually most pilots have a furlough some time in their career. Just ask some senior UA pilots on the 747-400 on how long they were on furlough. That did not mean the end of their career.
Some younger pilots do not understand, that just because you are furloughed, it does not mean you do not have expectations of flying the highest paid equipment. I was hired at 27 and spent 4 years on furlough and now I am Capt. on the 320 based in ORD and could hold 767 international Ccapt. So as you see, a furlough does not mean the end of the world.
Peace
Marty

Here, Marty the United pilot, is talking about furloughed USAir guys in his crashpad...in ORD or DC?

You can none rev with USair East. Parents as well. No time limit. So says some of the guys in my crashpad who are furloughed USAir.

here again is Marty the United pilot in Jan 2007, but now his hire date changed from 1994 to 1993:

CAL is getting ready to merge with United. I think their might be furloughs or some stagnation. Where would a 1993 DOH put me at CAL.
Marty

here we are now finally as Marty the USAir pilot flying from PHL-TPA in March 2008:
http://forums.flightinfo.com/showthread.php?p=1531847#post1531847

Tell that to the number one guy at USAIR EAST. Had him on my J/S PHL to TPA. DOH 01/23/1973. He hates ALPA and cannot wait to vote for USAPA. The top 500 are almost all going to vote out ALPA and they did get their DOH. So no, its not all about the flawed list that shows active pilots holding positions as ALPA officers as furloughed even though they were holding union positions. How is that possible?Alpa says you can not be furloughed and hold a ALPA position like treasurer. WTF
