I've been in there before... when I was dating a mainline flight attendant. It's just a room and I didn't leave any trash. I would think the leaving trash would apply to everyone even if it is your own pilots. If there are ASA pilots leaving the ASA lounge trashy then they need to be addressed as well and same goes at Delta, AAI, or anywhere. There is always someone that thinks of only himself and doesn't realize that his inactions have an impact on other's lives.

ASA and Delta, I thought they were one in the same. Meaning that most ASA pilots will be at Delta eventually :)

Delta pilots can reclaim "their" flying the next time their contract is amendable. If you whore out your wife, you have no right to get pissed. Get her back, get her clean from that regional scum. Until then you're just a sellout pimp who ditched his girls, to us. I'll happily collect my six figure paycheck until you do.

Our company did negotiate, it just happens to be your crewroom as well. I am entitled because my company memo says to. Get over yourselves. It's a room with four walls and some lazy boys.

The regionals infringe on Delta's flying.

Who do you think ALLOWS (by contract) the Regionals to have that flying??
I would say Delta Management made an agreement with the Regional Management.
To be mad at the Regional Pilots for flying "some one's route" (and where does it say who's route it is anyway) is like blaming Rosie O'Donnell's fork for getting her fat.
The level of ignorance here is mind boggling. It is no wonder why management has the upper hand.
 
I hope the Delta pilots do as good a job reclaiming the flying as you are at reclaiming your lounges.

Maybe this is a practice run for the real thing?????

A Delta chief pilot told some Mesaba pilots that do a 4 hour sit there everyday they could use it. Delta pilots are complaining. It's not just one pilot complaining. It's quite a few. Expect this privilege to change. I am not one of the pilots that complained.

Don't shoot the messenger. The Delta pilots are watching their domestic flying disappear as more and more CRJ700's and 900's show up at their gates. Now they're watching regional pilots show up in their crew lounges. They're not happy. You guys are taking this way too personal.

First off I would be thrilled to never step foot in SLC (or JFK or ATL) ever again. It's far from our choice where to fly to, and for that matter when we fly there. It's your company demanding all of it. We try to make the best of what we are sent by Delta. Including the offer to share a few hours in your crew room and C concourse bag room. If you don't like seeing us flying these flights you should take that up with Lee Moak and your local reps. If you don't want us around the break areas feel free to suggest where we go.

OMFG!!

Talk about a post-grenade.

I scrolled down two posts before it went off. And I too, have shat my pants!!!

I was just gonna ask "Who was the lucky guy", but it seems just a waste of typing now.

I got a better idea. Why don't you epic jackwagons grow some testicles and fight against your management with your pitiful union and contract instead of shooting spitwads at regional pilots.

What a bunch of fvcking a55holes.

Aaaaah, the evil moron speaks. Is it difficult talking with your mouth full?:laugh::blush:

At least you've graduated from using bigger than 4 letter words!;)
A GED is a terrible thing to waste.

Before us Mesaba folks start casting too many stones....I believe when Skywest started flying into MSP it was us that said they couldn't come into our crew rooms. I don't care what the reason is...(we couldn't use theirs in SLC, non union, I don't know I wasn't in on the discussions) we should have said sure come on in and relax on your sh1$$y four hour break.
 
There was a sign hanging outside the MSP Crewroom a while back that said for Mesaba and Comair pilots only. I started asking around and the word was that Skywest wasn't allowed. If that is no longer the case and skywest is welcome then I will gladly edit my post and apologize for stirring the pot.
 
Aside from not having enough room for our own people in MSP (or DTW for that matter) I really don't care what company rests there as long as they are courteous and clean. I see no reason to try to piss on the the walls over who's turf is who. It does nothing but make the whole place stink. We have all been mashed into this crap sandwitch together. Most not by choice. I welcome others in as it's nice to know what is happening at other places from someone that is in front of me speaking rather than hiding behind a fake name here.
 
I never even thought about other pilots' crewrooms until a few years ago when Lumberg first started ranting and raving about DCI pilots in the LGA crew lounge. After that, I used the LGA lounge as often as possible in the hopes of irritating Bill. Sadly, all the Delta guys there were pretty cool amd always friendly, so I'm guessing he wasn't there.

It was a pretty comfortable room, though, and I kind of got used to it. Made it my new hangout as long as I was with DCI. :)

Thanks for stepping in and hammering my point home. I knew I could count on you.
 
The difference with the signs at the MSP crew room was that it was posted by management, not some random guy on flightinfo!

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".

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:
