Skyway pilots at the bar too late...

[ThomasMore]

Bad intel?

"Rumor control is that two Skyway pilots were at the hotel bar a bit on the late side in CLE. ... Intel has it the pilots terminated. ..."

Sounds like a case of bad intel. As far as I know, it didn't happen. Not, at least, involving a SYX crew.

 

[FN FAL]

Because I have family that commutes between CLE and MKE for business....

that's why.

Are you in a postion to add any constructive information? If not, I will investigate it further myself, to include a call to the company.

thanks.

"Constructive"...sounds like lawyer talk to me.

 

[SloDoDriver]

The things happen....I am not a Skyways guy but I am sure 99.9 percent of the pilot group would be smarter than that....If it happened and was reported then it WILL be investigated....I would not worry about flying with them, I would worry about the Uninsured, Unlicensed drunk in the beater car driving next to you.......

Driving next to you! How about driving opposite on you at 50-70 MPH with only a thin line between you and his/her drunk a$$!
I think I will fly!

If there was any truth to this, it would've been all over the evening news. When those pilots were caught here in MKE it was on all the news channels. Now that that one is shot down, next rumor anyone....

 

[Propsync]

What? No apologies RS6? Post complete crap and walk away? Hey moron, next time why don't you do ALL of your homework before trying to defame a group of professionals on a public forum. That original post is as bad as someone armchairing an accident before the NTSB gives their say. If this is too much, do us a favor and don't post anymore. That is all.

RS6:

Maybe you're thinking of the American Connection incident in MKE last month?

Anyway, if you're going to come on here and ask this question about SkyWay, the responsible thing to do is provide some source for the rumor. You owe that much to the pilot group at SkyWay, the company, the industry, the members here, and--quite frankly--your "concerned family members."

To aid in your pursuit of the truth, here's a link to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. If there was even a modicum of truth to this, they would run with it.

You can never trust the Journal-Sentinel to run important stories, but I agree this one would have been pounced on. The JS loves aviation related stuff.

It's the only way to get over all the dumb Fuc$'s you have to deal with on a daily basis!!!! Grab the bottle of Jim Beam and grab the wife's head for a nice blow!!!!! Then I finally feel like life is normal again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe you refer to "the wife" like that. Yes we all have bad days, but if the only way you can deal with the job is to drink and treat your loved one like an object, in my humble opinion, I think you need to change professions. Regarding the post, I agree, flightinfo.com is no place for unsubstantiated rumors.

Messages/Rumors/Complete crap

The last guy had it right- take anything you read here with not a grain of, but at least a half pound of salt.
Any time I want a good laugh, I go to these message boards. On them, I can find out what company from Rangoon is buying United, how many SR-71's Delta will use on their new Toyko-Sheboygan service, how many jets Mesa is selling to go back to props, the REAL reason my airline posted a loss this quarter, and all other kinds of garbage.
You have to remember that while many pilots read and post here, there's lots of other people that have little to no idea of the inner workings of the industry. Something we as pilots hear around work that is dismissed out of hand ("Hey, did you hear Midwest is going to get gates in Honolulu?") might be taken seriously by somebody else. There's no doubt newspeople, private pilots, airline captains, and even that kid down the block that plays Flight Simulator 2004 too darn much that all come here to read the verbal excrement that gets splattered here at times.
How many times have you gone in to work all worked up because some scrub who CLAIMS to have been working for your company for 3 months posts something like "I heard we're furloughing everybody!". Of course, he probably heard it from "a senior captain."
Point is, don't believe everything you read here. In fact, believe very little of it.
If you can read these messages with that in mind, it's actually quite fun to check out the boards. Just don't make any career decisions based on anything you read here.

 

[SYXDude]

We're getting gates in Honolulu? Outstanding! Maybe we should bid on the Tokyo-Sheboygan SR71 flights. I mean, we ARE Wisconsin's home-state airline!

 

[greenpickle]

Very true

Yeh I agree with jerky. Just one thing though. My advice is that anyone that wants to work for Skyway or is working for here that they should find a new job. I heard from a very senior capt that whether this is true or not, it will be the end of us.

eject eject eject!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ilinipilot]

this "rumor" is exactly that

having spoken to those in a position to know, i can assure you that this whole story is exactly that, a story...NOT TRUE !!! at all......i'm not sure how this story got started but no SYX pilot has been termed.

 

[ShadowFlight]

It has been verified by management that the rumor is false. I believe RS6 owes us Skyway pilots an apology for posting this false rumor on flightinfo.com and questioning our pilot group professionalism.

Peace

[JetProp]

Methinks the thread topic is flamebait..

 

[greenpickle]

But what about..

having spoken to those in a position to know, i can assure you that this whole story is exactly that, a story...NOT TRUE !!! at all......i'm not sure how this story got started but no SYX pilot has been termed.

What about the very senior capt that I talked to? They know everything, even more than management. Just ask them, they will tell you. I personally think that this rumor was started by Skyway management to kill the Delta deal and make all of our lives miserable and stall us in our careers. We all know that is what management really wants to.

Seriously though, Our CP just released an email statement that this is not true. Thank God no one takes this board seriously.

RS6... this is a **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED**ing message board, not the FAA or Company board.....99% of this **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** take with a grain of **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED**ing salt. if you base your conclusions on this **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** in here then yer **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED**ing a dumb **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED**....believe what you want....it's all a **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED**ing big rumor until proven otherwise......go get bent and make sure to give yer boyfriend a **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED**ing reacharound!

[EX_CV580FR8Dawg]

and big F U too ya RS6

 

[disillusioned]

RS6, response please...

RS6,

As mentioned, your post turned out to be 100% B.S. There is as much truth in what you posted, as in Russians landing on Venus last month and checking into a four star hotel in there.

Have you nothing to say?

 

[pilotmyf]

It has been verified by management that the rumor is false. I believe RS6 owes us Skyway pilots an apology for posting this false rumor on flightinfo.com and questioning our pilot group professionalism.

What the hell is an apology going to do, RS6 needs to be grounded--"Now RS6, no post for two weeks, and only 10 hours of TV a day". Wait, with that much freetime, he might construct a new rumor. Maybe SKX is going to buy YX???????
Maybe the SR71 should do a Tokyo-New Holstein run.

Wait... that didn't happen?

I apologize. I promise to ONLY post rumors that are true.

 

[EX_CV580FR8Dawg]

wasn't it Uranus?

 

[RS6]

Hey folks, I am sorry that I perpetuated this rumor. This was told to me by a SKX FA. I should have been more discreet in my original question, and not named the company.

Points well taken.

 

[248to2.8]

I apologize. I promise to ONLY post rumors that are true.

Even better idea. How about not posting any rumors... Just stick to the facts ma'am.
But then, there wouldn't be any reason for this forum.

 

[limodriver1]

You got it right, watch where you drink!

I think pilots (most of them) knows their limits whats comes to drinking!

But dont drink in hotel bar where you stay, or hotel bar at all, dont use credit cards, cash only!

And don't drink too late!

I think it is so simple, or stop drinking at bar early and go to your room with someone pretty or alone, and continue drinking!


And be aware of those TSA people they try to get extra points. I have started to be very carefully with them and also watching how they do their job. Most of them sucks as*2hhh.
