Name calling

[Axel]

I don't like hats. In fact, I choose not to wear mine. I do think that they are cool, and that they give the uniform and the person wearing it a more "complete" look. However, I do not feel that it is important or necessary. Maybe when I lose a little more on top and I want something to keep the rain/sun off, I'll reconsider.

(Scratching head) O...kay?

I see that you are an airplane lover and watcher. Great, so am I.

Do you fly professionally as well?

If you do not, you may have a hard time understanding why pilots (most) would rather not wear a hat.

Hat's are optional at my place of work. I would guess that over 95% of us (appx. 4200 total) do not wear our hats. This includes mgt. pilots and check airmen.

Also, I did state that hats are "cool". They are just not practical or necessary.

Regards,

Juan

This clarifies your statement, thank you.

As you are one of the fortunate ones whose uniform holds the hat as optional, there is no adolescent "rebellion" in your decision to forgo the hat.

The rebellion, not the hat was the example to which I referred.

What fun would this board be without the name calling? I say more name calling is in order!

I for one agree with 737pylt. I don't post too much stuff but I gotta say that I am very disapointed with the way some guys carry themselves on these forums. It's a sad state of affairs in general. I think a lot of pilots at this level lack maturity and responsibility to a certain degree. I say this only to a small portion of the pilot community cause not everyone out there flying participates in these forums. But its this small portion of our community that gives pilots a bad rap in general with the flying public and our coworkers. I just wish some people would just grow up or if you don't have anything constructive to say then just don't say anything.

737pylt are you Delta Furlough?

Its interesting that the loudest and most angry comments come from those that believe they have "THE BEST CONTRACT". I would think they would have better things to do than worry about everyone else.

The truth be told is that they know they are working on borrowed time. If you have not bargained for a contract post 9/11 then you should just wait. Some choose to hold onto what they have rather than help their companies during tough times. Again, their choice, but don't expect to be rewarded for no assistance.

 

[Nindiri]

True, but you should also not expect to be rewarded for assisting the company. It's all business and whether you choose to help the company or not does not affect managements loyalty to you one way or the other. I'm not saying that you shouldn't accept less to help the company through hard times when appropriate, just don't think that management will voluntarily reward you for your sacrifices when times get better. Remember the old saying, "No good deed goes unpunished."

I 737pylt are you Delta Furlough?

I am. I look to this board for some good gossip, and all I read any more is BS! I can't believe someone even started a thread "which airline/regional do you hate the most"
That blows me away! I don't care for a lot of things that go on in this business, but I'm not wasting my time hating anyone!

ok, I'm off the soap box now

 

[superrav]

you tell us that all us RJ pilots just rip on you and come out of college. Well guess what you just screwed your first email in this were you said we shouldn't be bashing each other. There is a reason why RJ pilots fly 5 leg days and have 13 days off a month but get paid 130 hours worth. You fly 2 legs a day, off 18 days and get paid $250,000 a year. There is a reason why the MAJORS are not making money.

 

[jrcpilot]

737pylt,
I just left DL myself. Things not looking all that great right now. Don't know how plugged in you are but we have the last 250 to be furloughed coming back. Some are already back and we are little by little seeing them come back to requals. Apparently though thats going to stop. Good luck to you. I hope things start turning around soon. I agree this board sometimes has a lot of BS floating around. But there is still a small part of it that offers good info.

Regards

It's pathetic for a bunch of individuals that claim to be so d@mned educated, professional and omnipotent.
