OK, let's call BS on this sensitive guy--

Jetblue guys sensitive, naw. What a common refrain to anything said by them. Sensitive is the FedEx guys who start these things in the first place for no reason who have their own issues.
Get real. This guy was making a funny and everyone could see that except...well, you know
Nado said:
Sensitive is the response-
FedExGuys belong on the cargo board. The only reason they flock to the majors board is that they know no one reads the cargo board, and they like the attention.
This was a little funny when it happened, but not to those who come to this board for info on getting a job at a 'major.' There are plenty of more-questionable carriers who often appear on the major board than UPS and FedEx.

How about that 3+ year wait for the jumpseat. Thanks guys for moving with such speed on that. Maybe that is why it took so long to see a JetBlue dude?
Can't hold a pilot group responsible for managment jerks. But if you did...they are the only carrier that I know where you can get a reservation that is in stone. BTW, looks like there was a time recently when offline jumpseaters could still ride FDX, but their own pilots couldn't(and other employees still can't)

And JetBlue has never had a nosegear problem. Leno is still making jokes about it as of last night. When it was all over the news, there was nothing but attaboys and praise for the guys in blue, yes lots of blue.
Nado said:
And finally, the doctors v. veterinarian comparison, that was funny.
Would have been funny if the 2nd year 'veterinarian' F/O didn't make about the same as a senior 'doctor' captain. Perhaps a better comparision would be ER Doc to CT surgeon. It's a little obscure, but the CT surgeon doesn't interact with the 'customer' too much, and most people think surgeons are jerks based on a stereotype, but they make a lot of cash.

Please, just go to cargo board, where the BOX haulers belong.
OK, you got them. Now go read my response above about the major's board.
Everybody, If you don't have a sense of humor, unsubscribe to Flight info, go flying by yourself(they guys that fly with you wish you would) and then roll inverted and pull.
