Something FUNNY about UAL

[Mugs]

Why wouldn't I have that (typical as you call it) reaction? Am I supposed to read the weekly UAL bashing threads here as cheerleading from fellow pilots? As I said, I think distant and recent history in this industry points to what I was saying. I don't have any problem with someone having an opinion that UAL is done for. That is certainly a possibility and we know it. On this board, however, very rarely does anyone provide a well researched argument to support that opinion. I doubt many of us here (myself included) are well versed in the financial and legal complexities involved in formulating a truly insightful opinion on UAL's future one way or the other. Therefore, mud slinging tends to be the debate tactic of choice here.

I'm sorry you have had problems in the past with UAL pilots on the jumpseat to the extent that you think that we all must be that way (hence the typical reaction from their pilot group comment). When I was making meager wages, I jumped on UAL all the time since they were one of the few majors that would let our pilots ride. The reason we could ride was because the UAL pilot group had pushed for and developed a very liberal jumpseat policy back then. I was never treated poorly and don't recall any horror stories from my co-workers that also commuted regularly.

Remember the 777 Captain that made the news for squawking to the company about not having nuts on his crew meal cheescake last year? Yep, we have a few nuts like that. So do other carriers. Sorry you probably met him. The rest of us shake our heads with you.

Ty Webb, isn't there anything better to do on your days off than to make hundreds of internet postings???

No, I'm just a pathetic lamer with nothing else to do . . . actually, I have been posing to this board in one form or another for over five years, so I guess I am a senior lamer.

I also have a DSL connection and a wireless house. That means that am always on-line, so whether I am feeding the baby, checking a stock, trying to trade for a different (better) trip or reasearching a new car . . . I always have about five windows open at a given time, and one of them is usually flightinfo.com .

I enjoy bantering, reading, lurking, or posting here . . . and I am not embarassed about it. I also have a super little laptop that I take on the road, so many times when I am posting, I am killing time on the road, preferably after a workout, and with a single-malt scotch nearby. I don;t watch much TV, I'd rather trade insults with clowns like you . . . . but thanks for your concern.


And yes, we're all so very impressed with your desire to beat up a passenger on one of your flights.

Great. actually, if you were on board, I would probably wouldn;t have to deal with you, I am sure the back-end crew would be very happy to meet your needs . . . . in fact, I'll bet you would love to be disciplined by one of our burlier F/a's . . . I seem to detect that about you in your posts . . . but, hey, your secret is safe with me, OK?

You'll make a GREAT captain one day, just hope I won't be a paying passenger with you at the controls

Geez, I don;t know what to say. I am so hurt. I am sure all the VVIP's that I used to fly around are so relieved that I'm not hauling their butts around anymore . . . . from former Secretary of State to Olympic gold medalist, the world is truly a safer place with me sequestered away in the right seat, where I can do no harm . . . unfortunately, though, I am less than two months away from upgrade ., . . . do you think they should issue the NOTAM now, or wait until I finish IOE?

Please, your opinion means so much to me, I can't possibly bear to await your response.

Ty:

Don't be feeding the kid any of that single-malt scotch you are keeping nearby.

 

[Ty Webb]

Are you kidding?

What a waste that would be . . . . kids can't tell a blend from a single-malt, why waste the good stuff?

Next thing you know, you'll be trying to get me to leave them a good cigar, instead of those Swisher Sweets I usually give 'em. You know, at Halloween, those cherry-flavored ones are really poplular, and they can gnaw on the tips all they want. I think it probably sharpens their little teeth.

this debate will be a non issue soon enough. if you go to untied's site and check estimated earnings for the rest of the year, it doesn't bode well for UAL

Be happy for yourself. This is probably the happiest you will ever be in your sorry existance, so go with it. Insult as many people as you possibly can. Revel in it.. . . . . Tomorrow, you may be bagging mulch.

I sure hope so . . . I always hope that my mulch is bagged by thoughtful, considerate people just like you, sir.

I haven't insulted half as many people as you have on this board, carry on, the internet is the place for people like you to express themselves.

Enjoy "playing" pilot, let us professionals get back to work.
