Skywest new pay proposal! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[WalterSobchak]

The fact you profess to know what is best for the pilot group at SKYW(union or not) is what causes me to want to call BS on you and wally.

Once again, I'm waiting for you to use that superior attention to detail you claim to have and show where I have, with any amount of seriousness, "claimed to profess what is best" for the SKW pilot group. I haven't. I don't claim to know. So, constantly bringing me into that argument is not a real shining example of your grand superior intellect.

you want an example, look up AA flight into Little Rock. That flight was "legal"

Yes, it was legal. If we didn't launch on the type of forecast LIT was calling for at that time, an airline would cancel 60% of our daily flights.

There were failures on both ends. The dispatcher did make the unfortunate and now-famous "expedite the approach" and "it looks like a bowling alley approach" comment, but no one forced that captain to decide to make the approach into LIT (with the spoilers not armed, no less) when he had two solid alternates in BNA and DFW and holding fuel on board.

I don't see how this is relevant to your argument. You're reaching really far on this one PBR...try again.

Trying to use AAL1420 to make your point isn't a good idea. The majority of dispatchers know AAL1420 like the back of our hand (and most of us have a copy of the NTSB report and CVR transcript) because we never want to have to be in the position that AA dispatcher was in.

I hate to say this, but as a member who has engaged in a lot of stupid FI pissing contests, this pilot-dx thing is by far THE stupidest pissing contest I've ever seen. Enough already. You all need a spanking!

 

[WalterSobchak]

pbr just doesnt get the whole team thing- aka crm.. he is one that feels he is the authority. he is old school and not in a good way-

You know who else was old school?




Has anyone ever Godwin'd a thread on FI?

Exaclty, we need to get back to good ol' movie quotes. I'll start.

If my calculations are correct....when this baby hits 88mph....you're gonna see some serious sh!t.

Wow...you managed to totally skate around the topic of my post and invent your own. To hell with your collective bargaining, I don't care. Irregaurdless, when you want to address the actual point of my previous post then I will respond to you. Until then, let my previous post show that I have taken the higher road and you have decided to continue your degrading and name-calling ways. When you find some cajones, come find me. Until then...adios.

For starters, "irregaurdless" is not a word. Second, you most certainly do care about their collective bargaining. You've posted endlessly about your anti-union and anti-ALPA opinions trying to get the Skywest pilots to vote NO on representation.

PBR, in all fairness to Walter, I don't remember seeing him post anti-union crap like XPOO. Maybe I'm just forgetting, but I don't think he's pulled the same crap.

 

[XPOO]

That's heavy, Doc!

Oh, and excuse me, IRREGARDLESS.

And get with the times...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irregardless

New words pop up all the time. Care to argue anything else?

 

[WalterSobchak]

"Why don't you make like a tree and get out of here?"

 

[John Pennekamp]

That's heavy, Doc!

Oh, and excuse me, IRREGARDLESS

Theres that word again. Why are things so heavy in 1985? Is something wrong with the earth's gravitational pull?

When you actually have some 121 PIC feel free to chime in, until then you are just as clueless as you were before.

Yeah, irregardless still isn't a word and you're still an idiot. The word is "regardless."

 

[John Pennekamp]

You're telling me that this sucker is nuclear?

No, this sucker is electrical. But I need a nuclear reaction to generate the 12.21 Gigawatts.

Is this stuff stolen?

Of course... I got it from a group of Lybian Nationalists. They wanted me to build them a bomb. So I gave them a shoddy bomb casing filled with used pinball machine parts!!!

Hey Charles, it's your cousin. Your cousin, Marvin. You know that new sound you've been looking for? Well listen to this...

 

[WalterSobchak]

Yeah, irregardless still isn't a word and you're still an idiot. The word is "regardless."

In all reality, you're both right.

It is considered "non-standard" and there is debate as to whether the use of the word is "wrong". It is a technically word...but its use is considered improper...kinda like the contraction "ain't"

I'm not ragging on either one of you. It is used in daily speech...it's technically a word...just improper English. And thanks for the defense back there, PCL. Much appreciated.

ir·re·gard·less
[Origin: 1910–15; ir-2 (prob. after irrespective) + regardless

]

—Usage note Irregardless is considered nonstandard because of the two negative elements ir- and -less. It was probably formed on the analogy of such words as irrespective, irrelevant, and irreparable. Those who use it, including on occasion educated speakers, may do so from a desire to add emphasis. Irregardless first appeared in the early 20th century and was perhaps popularized by its use in a comic radio program of the 1930s.

Irregardless - Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage in formal style, when in fact it is used chiefly in nonstandard speech or casual writing.

But then, why should anyone look up any facts to support their claims, lamesauce? It's a good thing this isn't the New Yorker. We'd all be boned for our messed up usage of the English language mayhaps.

If you want to sound like a moron, then continue to use the word. Those of us with more than a dozen brain cells will enjoy laughing at you.
