Not Welcome

[tzwarrior]

ooh wicked burn.

It's a contentious thread no doubt, my comment wasn't meant in a mean spirit, just having fun with the BJ comment.

I don't think the Delta guys have a problem with you being in the crew room for just a few seconds.

Well played

The difference with the signs at the MSP crew room was that it was posted by management, not some random guy on flightinfo!

Did he use his FI name of Dubya? Or was this one of those, "no questions asked."
A GED is a terrible thing to waste.

So, a GED is a terrible thing to waste? Since you've mentioned this in both of your well thought out replies, maybe you're speaking from experience?

Perhaps if you edit a couple more times you can think of something original and funny, and continue to prove my original point.

I used to do a lot of commuting on UPS and we could all learn a lot from their pilot group. At the SDF domicile there was a large cafeteria where anyone and everyone was welcome. Right next door was a huge sleep room with probably fifty recliners and a movie screen playing the news or a late night show; guess what? Everyone was also welcome there. In the next building was a hallway off of which were many small bedrooms. Everyone was welcome there as well. Pilots from every domestic regional and major airline commuted through there on the good graces of UPS and their pilot group every night and were not only welcomed into their cockpits but also were extended a hand to use the facilities there as we needed. I personally never saw anyone act anything but totally hospitable.
Aviation is hard enough to earn a living in; so if it's a pilot lounge and you've got authorization to be there- I say use it up. Don't wreck the place and be courteous to the "mainline" guys who are there and allowing you to use their company's facilities. Tell a good joke or two and leave when you are supposed to. Is that so hard?
In the end- who really gives a $hit? You guys getting worked up over this are only bringing yourselves down... if you hate working at the airline so much; resign. I need the position.

Sorry LXApilot, but apparently the DL mainline guys haven't done much to generate a lot of love from regional pilots...LAST TIME I CHECKED WE ARE IN THE SAME UNION..."Not Welcome"...This is as stupid as "jumpseat wars".

Just what's being passed around the "crew lounges......" :laugh:

The only point is the top of your head junior! Now, are you going to stop sneaking into the crew lounges and doing what it is that you do?:blush:

 

[lowlycfi]

I'm curious, does Delta have seperate lounges for pilots and flight attendants?

It wasn't funny the first time....still is not.

I am fairly sure they do in DTW

 

[mayoplane]

??

What am I missing here? Is it so bad that Delta guys want their lounge to themselves? Does that make them arrogant?? (Maybe other stories make them look arrogant...like the van stories...but not this one.)

I would have never thought about walking into other airlines' lounge and sleep in their lazy chairs during a long sit. It's kinda like walking into a stranger's home and sit in their comfy chair because you had to kill some time??

I think it's OK what he is requesting. Delta lounge for Delta pilots, makes sense to me.

 

[GogglesPisano]

I spent 6 years at a regional. I never once, despite multiple "productivity sits," ever even entertained the idea of walking into another airlines' pilot lounge for a camp out. It's just a bit out of bounds.

 

[wms]

I thought we were supposed to go the DAL pilots' lounge to get "mentored".

 

[Amish RakeFight]

What's the suggested donation to enter the almighty Delta lounge?

 

[Hamburger]

If someone was infringing on your marriage (aka porking your wife), would you INVITE him to stay in your home...? Uh, I think not.

It's kinda funny that you don't realize it's the company's house, the husband is a pimp getting paid, and you're the wife.

 

[Metro752]

Oh yeah, was his name Lee Moak??

Hahah!

You have to have at least 3 squadron patch stickers on you're flight case.

 

[Metro752]

and the hair plugs doctor referral and brochure sticking out of the top....

 

[xjlifer]

Why would anyone ever want to go to a pilot's lounge?

Pilot lounges were designed so that pilots wouldn't have to sleep on terminal benches like hobos. Or have to wait with the traveling folk for the next flight or when on reserve.
