Instead of getting your FE writtens done, applying at all the airlines, networking, interview prep and going to job fairs, you can all get together and b!tch about how everyone else is "taking your job".

I know, I just went to their last meeting. (Not safe for work)

 

[Fins Up]

Um, no disrespect but I think you've had this one a while....it's called the Good Old Boys Club and it's alive and well at every airline.

How about the Organization of Lazy Whiner Pilots? OLWP? Instead of getting your FE writtens done, applying at all the airlines, networking, interview prep and going to job fairs, you can all get together and b!tch about how everyone else is "taking your job".

Who's the whiner pilot now?

I figure there is OBAP and the 99,s. Probably a female airline pilots association out there. So being of the Jewish pursuasion I am thinking of starting OJAP! Our mission statement would be to bring more Jews into the airline piloting profession. We don't need any more doctors and certainly we don't need any more lawyers so I would like to try to convince more of my people to become airline pilots! Any Jew would be able to join, who's with me? Remember, it's OJAP- Organization of Jewish Airline Pilots not
Jewish American Princesses!

They are too smart for that .Most of them will see that there is no $ in aviation an continue down the layer path..

Count me in. I couldn't have gotten anywhere in this industry without networking.

And let's get the farkachte traif out of the crewmeals.

I always thought "Jewish" was the religious reference, and "Hebrew" was the nationality/ethnic term. True of false?

"Hebrew" is really only used in reference to the ancient tribes of Palestine. "Jewish" is both a religious and a cultural reference. While there is certainly plenty of genetic linkage among diverse Jewish populations it's tough to establish a true ethnicity. Two millenia of intermarriage and occasional conversions saw to that. Witness that I'm a descendant of the Tribe of Levi yet I more closely resemble a Cossack than a Levantine.

How about the Org for Lazy pilots who have nothing better to do on their day off!

OLPWHNBTONTHDO!!

 

[ReverseSensing]

I'm starting OCRAP. Organization of Compulsive (Anal-) Retentive Airline Pilots, dedicated to helping over-controlling, up-tight, God-complex pilots find check airmen/flight standards jobs in the industry.

Our motto: "Well the book says..."

 

[00Dog]

Every minority has an organization that uses networking to help its members find success within the industry.

One can succeed in this industry?

 

[lowlycfi]

Count me in! I just hope the dues aren't too much......

 

[jetpig32]

This would put a whole new meaning on "collective bargaining"

 

[DougsRule]

I say:


Ugly, bald pilots in need of a bowel movement Unite!!

 

[dashboy]

I'm in! no more ham & cheese crew meals!

 

[cal73cap]

We could discuss ways of saving money on overnights.

The hotel van drivers would hate us, no tipping!

 

[beytzim]

I'm in, so you probably know what 'beytzim' means

To answer your question on being Jewish, hebrew, or working on Saturday. 90-95% of Jewish Americans are like most Americans: religion is simply a tradition in the family, but doesn't affect their daily lives or careers. "Hebrew" is a language and has been so for several millenia. Calling me a 'hebrew' will show me your ignorance and I will lose all respect for you.

There are so many ignorant pilots out there who came straight from the bible-belt south to flying and I'm the first Jewish person they ever meet. I look forward to the day when people don't wish me "Merry X-mas" while I'm wearing my Channuka tie, let alone ask me what's a dreidel. I look forward to the day when I don't have to explain that no, I don't believe JC is my savior. Anyway, let's have an organization for jewish pilots, why not.

 

[chperplt]

Count me in..... I'll bring the Lox platter to the first meeting!

 

[cal73cap]

Count me in..... I'll bring the Lox platter to the first meeting!

Please no capers, I hate capers! Hows about a nice slice of tomato and onion with the garlic bagel? And don't be a tough guy, wear a jacket it's cold out! Oh, also for you middle age New Yawkers please bring the Fox's Ubet chocolate syrup for the milk!

In that case I can't wait for the day when all religions stop trying to force their views on people, can practice religion privately, and stop trying to kill people of other religions just because they have different views. This goes for a majority of religions as there are a few exceptions.
