Southwest Airlines schedules its first flights in Memphis

[General Lee]

My God man ! What's next ...... window licking ?

The AMS hotel allows guests to take bikes out and ride them around the country side. Very relaxing, almost like when you guys ride the mechanical bulls at the bar in Midland.....wait, I guess it's not really the same...

You forgot Islip and Boise. I bet Boise is nice some of the year, though. And, I won't seek help, I'll just bid trips to places I really want to go. Thanks anyway.

General,

I'm glad you bid where you want to go. I have NO obsession with that. Unfortunately, you appearantly you do. Why obsess about it? Who really cares? Other than you...

This is truely bizarre.

Choice is bizarre? Having a choice to fly INTL or Domestic trips? Why is that bizarre? Only you guys get defensive. All I say is I enjoy long haul flying and my layovers. Canyonblue almost had a heart attack! He thinks you should ONLY think about family, even though as pilots we all go on layovers generally (unless you only do turns). If the family can't understand that, well, that sucks. I like having a choice, to fly different places, and I enjoy it. I am glad you enjoy your trips too, but our flying is different than yours mostly, and people may want to know about that before applying to airlines coming up here. No biggie.

You mean the AMS hotel that was converted from an insane asylum? In a mostly Arab, Turkish neighborhood. At least the Thai place is good.

Defensive? I could care less where you overnight. Enjoy it....wherever it is.

I'll do the same on my end. You still going to be talking about your overnights in a year. In two years? I still won't care.

Yes, its bizarre that you have this obesession with where you overnight vs others. I'd say most on here would agree. Probably even most the DL guys too.

It was a hospital, the van driver said. (The one that takes you to the other hotel near the train station). I've never had any problems walking through there, and I usually go to the ferry, take it to the train station, and then go to a few great Rib places. The Thai place is good if the weather is bad.

You know, you sound miserable flying INTL. You complain about Venice, even though less than 1% of US pilots get to go there. (Only DL and USair go nonstop). Then you trash Paris, even though everyone has a favorite restaurant there, and even though traffic sucks, the exit from the plane to hotel is great.

Please bid domestic again and do transcons until you miss the layovers again. You need a change, you are complaining and many, many people on this site would LOVE to have the chance to go to Venice or Paris. At least you have the CHOICE to bid domestic or INTL, but you need a change.

Ummm, people who do care about layovers obviously have choices. If you don't care, that makes bidding easy. If so, good for you.

Looking at the majority of your posts, I tend to think you didn't graduate. But, nowadays you can do it online. Good luck!

Ummmmmmmm, private lee, you claim to be off during the week to spend time with your "family" and fly weekends to Europe and yet you have posted 56 times (most multi paragraph posts) the past 3 days. Your "family" must be proud.

Wait, I was with your MOM.......

Also, I tend to have WEEKENDS off, and I can use my smartphone anywhere, even in EUROPE. Do you still have a RadioShack phone? Get a new one, you can use it anywhere with Wifi. Also, I can fly 2 INTL trips back to back (I usually fly 12 days a month), and as long as you have a 3 man crew, you can fly well over 30 in 7, or 32 in 7. I sometimes do a 6 day trip, sometimes even longer to Asia (mainly last Summer, the ATL 7ER doesn't have as many, those type trips are now mainly LA, SEA, and MSP). Lately though, I have been bidding 3 day Europe trips.

Variety is awesome, and so are smart phones. Invest in one. Good luck.

Well, it was nice while it lasted. GL, did your prescription run out, or is there simply no cure for SPS?

Do you cut and paste these responses from a pre typed document or do you just retype these responses every time?

It has to get boring and tiresome to keep typing the SAME ridiculous arguments, over and over again. It certainly is for the majority of FI users.

You must have not seen Scoreboard II's initial slam on page one? I didn't start this at all. And, when people describe options in trips, it may help pilots looking for future job opportunties. I think both airlines are FANTASTIC, and a job at either would be "Hot Dog Awesome."

I agree - let's get back to more facts and less 7th grade in-fighting and taunting please... It gets lame real quick.............

You are one sensitive individual.

Are you talking about me? Hey, if you want to "lure" me back in to adding comments on trips and obvious differences between our two airlines, I am obviously happy to do it. I'd rather not, but comments like your initial one are easy to pick up on. I don't mind stopping right now, but you started it. Sensitive? Nah...... "Don't get me started....."

The Internet, Uncle Steve, and a serious case of Aspbergers is what drives him. You guys are arguing with a basement living troll with massive mantitties. Treating him like he is actually a pilot only feeds his dysfunctional fantasies.

Speaking of fantasies, did "Uncle" Steve tell you his? Maybe he will of you don't pick up so many trips. You are the busiest Brasilia FO out there!

A little truth hits home for you and you lose the ability to complete a coherent sentence. Kind of funny. You and Bill meet in Special Ed class?
