I've seen that before, and it is still funny.

Bye Bye--General Lee

There were rumors in the past that both SWA and Air Tran threatened to sue unless the add was dropped...Anyone know any details?

Baja.

 

[Chronic Jetlag]

yup

Baja.

Yup, SWA big wigs actually called Anheiser Bush expressed their displeasure. The ad was dropped.

I heard that when AirTran's CEO called that ad was playing when he was on hold.

You're about 2 years late on that one Sparky.

You are about as on the ball as the current union reps.

An Oldie But A Goodie!

I still get a laugh out of that, even if it is a few years old.

Dude, why do have to be such a tool?

 

[Redmeat]

Dude, why do have to be such a tool?

Because it's not funny, and those of us who laugh at it are laughing at our own expense.

Period.

highsky:

Because you have angered the flightinfo "gods" by posting something twice. Even though it was last posted almost 2 years ago.

How dare you not do a search to make sure what you are posting wasn't posted before .........


(just in case it was missed....note sarcasm)


And diesel-9, yes it is true.

 

[FlyByNight1]

That was funny, even if I am a discount airline guy.

By the way, why does every thread on FI have to follow the same pattern.
1. someone posts "ABC"
2. someone responds to post.
3. some tool drastically over reacts to post
4. everyone on thread bashes tool for next few weeks.

The reason I reacted to the obvious newness of highsky by posting the discount pilot crap is his assertiveness on a different thread about food stamps and republicans. The guy just showed his ass with this thread.

Hey Redmeat,

sometimes you have to laugh, even if its at yourself. Im not picking on you man, I just find it funny - the dirrection that these threads go. It seems that no matter what someone posts, their will be someone who takes it the wrong way. Im just saying dont read to much into it - just read it.... I think youll find it funny...
take care...

 

[FlyByNight1]

I love my mommy!!!!

see, Redmeat....

I knew someone would prove me right..

 

[lookin4better]

it is funny, but here is my question?

Dont most 'discount' airlines actually have higher hiring mins then regionals?

so.....maybe 'regional airline pilot guy' would be a better fit to those lyrics....

;-)

just a thought....im going to sit back and watch this one

cheers!

 

[highsky]

This one's funnier. It has video.

[pilotyip]

actually flying at night is cool, direct anywhere you want, altitude your choice, speed your choice, climbing out of 10K at SHV cleared Direct YIP. So fly by is cool if you have never done it. I am proud to put the fly in fly at night.

No....I believe its $65,000 salary.

 

[instructordude]

No....I believe its $65,000 salary.

Righteous bucks!!

 

[Diesel-9]

$65/hr X 1000 hrs a year = $65,000 year.

 

[jet1man]

So I guess if they fly only 900 hours in a year their hourly wage is $72.22

 

[Diesel-9]

If they fly 900 hours, they make $58000 a year, not $65000. I heard they only get $65 an hour. Not on a salary.
