Oh boy...this should be a fun one.

A little more definition would be great, especially since you're at work right now, utilizing the company's computer system for your own pleasure, and on the clock at the same time.

Examples? This could be entertaining.

Wrong answer. I'm at home having a couple of beers.

Yes..

So you waited until you got home to bash someone from work, when the opportunity to vent was present at the time? I doubt it.

Anyway, how about some definition to your statement? It's the only way you'll get your answer. Just be prepared for the real answer, not the fake one.

I don't use the radio to vent out like the pilots do. We have accountably on our end where the pilots will say just about anything they want and no one can really prove who said what. When we are talking to our flight and someone pipes in with a smart $%^# comment it might seem funny but after 10hrs of hearing that crap over 8 years is a bit much don't you think. All I ask is to be professional on the radio and if someone has a problem with the way things are being handled deal with it in a more professional way and not the coward way behind the mic. I bet there is not one of you who would say any of that crap in person in flight control.

I guess you've never spent 14 hours online dealing with fvcked up releases, ramp personnel and broken airplanes. Sometimes, it helps to have a little chuckle to maintain your sanity. Our necks are on the line figuratively and literally as well.

 

[79%N1]

No, I never do.....even when I get the 1000th straight release without an alternate when one is required, or has an alternate when one is not remotely required - causing me to bump revenue passengers, or the wrong TLR info, etc, etc, etc.....

Short answer NO.

More important question? What kind of beer are you drinking?

This is the more important question. I know the question wasn't directed towards me...but I'm so happy to have one right now, I'll brag about my Shiner Bock.

Do you not think that if the airplane is broken or there is a swap that we don't have to do extra work over here. As a matter of fact I have spent 14 hrs dealing with a screw up irops day in ATL and just because I am not at the airport on the ramp doesn't mean I don't feel the affects in flight control and how messed up things get out there.

AWWWW C'mon man!!!

Lighten TFU!!!

Dats some funny stuff sometimes!!!

And besides that, from what I've read in the morning reports, you guys get way more than even by completely slammin it to us in writing.

And if you wanna compare voodoo dolls, I'm sure mine has been missing it's head a lot longer than yours!!

I would agree , I'm just trying to say that we are all on the same team so lets all try to get along, now lets get in the huddle come out with a great play.. how about a reverse

Bigger question is that Jr. pilots got conversion lines over senior reserve pilots.=WRONG and I lost $700-1000 and 4-6 more days off...

The company awarded lines to Jr. reserve pilots out of seniority????

Here comes the grievance process..

If they did not have trips because of GDO, they could have called 15-20 people to see if they would rather have a line versus those days off, and leave it up to the pilot. What calling a few people takes what 30-45 mins.?

How about you start with doing a bit of research about which departures use which runways, and how about looking out the window once in while to see which way the airports going? Get simple things like that right, and you may open yourselves up less to snide remarks on the freq...jckts off the south side planned east when the aiport is operating west.... nice.:beer:

I have to agree with you on that one but you can't tell me it happens every single time and don't you have a max effort section with the correction data on it for the runways as well as use of the ACARS.

Being frustrated with flight control/your dispatcher doesn't mean you can be an a!s on the radio. I heard some tool box call Atlanta Radio this evening and ask for the score to a football game.
I am sure there will be growing pains with the new contract and scheduling; bet it gets a lot more ugly before it gets better.
