No furloughs at Delta!

[General Lee]

Does every single post you make of late need to have something to do with gayness, PeePants? Trying to advertise your availability? Maybe you would have better luck by trying "supergayasspiratepilot.com."

-You, sir are living proof that a Blow-Job can actually sprout legs, put on a cute, little sub-commander hat with a gay-triangle set of corn-dog wings and walk around pretending to be an airline pilot..... Sure-it may be physically improbable, but-there you are.....

-Fire your best third-grade "McRonald's" comment if you like, but it can't change the fact that you are a complete full-throttle, walking hummer!

Here you go again, stalking me. You really make me feel uncomfortable. I bet you do that to all of the guys and girls you meet. Kinda "creepy" describes you. Good luck with match.com, maybe you can find an a-sexual plant to be your life partner. Since it wouldn't talk, you could command the conversations, talking about me and life at ASA and McRonalds. I am sure it would be fascinated.


Bye Bye--General Lee

Really-You are kidding!

That is the best you can come up with?

That was so sad-I will just let it hang in mid-air a a testament to your general uselessness....

-A plant? An "asexual plant?"(note the absence of the hyphen-I am actually literate enough to know what the actual word looks like...) Was that supposed to be an actual insult of some sort or are you just drooling on your keyboard randomly again?

-Sad.

Not gonna happen. You guys had your chance. Not even a thought in the MECs mind.

Puff- you can beat this one up all you want, but until we're on a single list, it's money out of your pocket.

Wow, did they know this when they interviewed you at McRonalds? They got a goldmine in you---all for $8 an hour. And triple that and you have your ASA salary. Enjoy it. And, tell your plant hello for me.

[Scope out RJ's]

During my previous life on the Comair MEC, the Vice Chairman of the Delta MEC once told me at the bar after I got him drunk: "Flow throughs are furlough protection."

But we already knew that.

Was that before or after you tried to "sodomize him" rjdc style?:blush:
I bet dan and joemerchant were real jealous!:laugh:

Not beating anything up. The chance for flow has come and gone--twice. The only thing that will happen now is that flying just gets taken away. Look at Comair as an example. There is more to come on this story. It seems with the RAH acquisitions, the straw has broken the camel's back. Nine months. We'll call it, "the baby clause".

 

[Blade Runner]

They are not interested in world domination dumba$$, they want us and Israel to stop bombing their villages and killing their sons, daughters, wives, husbands, etc......

Wow, this is real scary, do you really believe this BS your spouting? No mention of course of people blowing themselves up at cafes, and buses in Israel just to mention a few things. If you had half a clue what goes into the targeting process in producing the ATO for OEF you would have never posted such tripe. Get a clue pal, really...

Shrinking regionals is only good with corresponding growing majors. Since that's not the case here, it doesn't do any of us any good. If there is no job for me to jump to when my current one disappears, it doesn't help me or the industry.

There was no job for a lot of us at Delta to jump seat when we were furloughed for years and years. As I recall the regional pilots in general kept telling me how it was good for the industry.

I think both of you are sounding like idiots right about now! You can speculate all day long, and you can claim the sky is falling. Maybe on the otehr hand the world is about to break out in peace and prosperity! You all sound like you have joy in your voice at the possible demise of others. I played the game to! Don't get me wrong, but maybe it is better to not make these threads get hundreds of pages long just back and forth "my airline is better for the economy than your airline." Just an idea!!! This has gone on long enough when everyone has said the same thing over and over and have to brake out the spelling police or pick apart a post for misplaced commas, or periods.

...just wanted to be #100 on this useless thread.

Thanks.

flows have never worked... they ALWAYS hurt the regional far more than they ever help. Its as very bad idea...

Frankly, I think they hurt both sides by locking people into a process that may or may not work. But for humor's sake, I would agree to a flow only in the following scenario: the minute I give up my seat, I get a mainline seniority number and, therefore, become a mainline furloughee in addition to the guy that took my seat. That way I may be out of a job, but at least I'm in the mainline system somewhere. Under those circumstances I'll go take a break for a few years, but not in a situation whereby my flowup depends on whether my regional even exists later on and/or whether or not mainline feels like hiring my kind. IOW, I give something up and get something back right away, not maybe possibly later on. That's the only way I can see it as even remotely fair, the mainline guy got something (my seat) I got something (a seniority number).

You reckon the wise men at various MECs would go for that?

 

[flyboyike]

Flow isnt the way to do it, anyways. A company like CPZ where the applicants are screened basically by the mainline company I would agree to it. Otherwise there is a need to interview the applicants in my opinion. There was talk of it in the NWA system for 9E to mainline, and I was strongly opposed to it while I was at 9E. It simply doesn't get the best pilots.

You've stated something similar before and I have a hard time understanding your position. How is somebody good enough to fly your customers not good enough to fly with you? Unless you have no faith in your training department's ability to weed out problem people (which I don't think is the case with you), I really see no great need for interviewing flowup candidates. If the guy is qualified to fly more than 52% (or whatever the latest number is) of your clientele, why does he need to interview to fly the other 48%? I genuinely don't get that logic.

as usual, I believe your perception has been clouded by your ego. I've obviously flown with, known and talked to thousands of regional pilots and I have NEVER heard ANY (not a single one) say they were glad that Delta furloughed pilots after 9/11.

I'm not saying that you didn't run up against some stray idiot who would believe that (did you pull the "I'm a by god Delta pilot and you're scum" attitude on them first?....'cause we all know some of you guys are pretty good at displaying that attitude and it tends to piss people off just a little bit). However, the almost 100% majority of regional pilots hated that you guys got furloughed. Had there been ANYTHING we could have done about it,we would have. The only thing available to us at the time to help was to agree to have furloughed mainline pilots hired at ASA (and some others I think) ,knowing that it would be "wasted" training resources, to which we happily agreed.

Don't forget that all of us got into this with the desire and goal of moving on to a major at some point. EVERY furlough from a major (or even a hiring freeze) puts us ALL further from those goals.

So, if you believe any regional pilot thought it was "good for the industry" or good for you or ANYONE ELSE, you're completely wrong. Completely!

I think you need to slow down and take a breath! If you read my post there is not one thing there that says any regional pilot was happy at the furlough at Delta. I just said that at that time, there were posts by the hundreds claiming how dumping our planes and getting tons and tons of new RJs was better for the outlook of Delta!
