Southwest changing it's "stance" in ATL. HMMMMMM

[waveflyer]

Arrogance? How about DIFFERENCE? You can't stand it. You guys offer very productive trips, no doubt about it. Some people, want to take a nap for 3 hours (while being paid) and eating a sundae on the way to a nice city for a 24 hour layover, that is worth about the same as one of your 10 leg 2 day trips. Arrogance? No, the truth.


Bye Bye---General Lee

You realize that you can't make that widebody envy argument without pissing on the thousands of dalpa pilots who don't fly widebodies?
Our domestic pairings are way better than delta's domestic pairings on average. - so if you piss on us for not having 3 hour naps, and 24 hour layovers, what does that say about how you feel about your own domestic fleet and pilots?

 

[waveflyer]

You don't care? WHAT??? And you will find something to do..... Do you sing the line from that Metallica song "Where ever I may ROAM.....YEAH! Where ever I may wander, wander......where ever I may ROAM!!" And you only want to be in a plane for 2 hours or LESS? So, you will do 10 legs to equal the same amount of time that I go 2 legs to Venice and back from ATL.....OHHHHHH-kay. But, I get to go to Venice and eat REAL pizza at St Marks Square.(aka Piazza San Marco) You can eat Dominos at the airport Marriot in Buffalo.... But.... You don't care... Good for you bud, good for you. Keep doing that.

Honestly, if you don't really care where you go, you may be burned out, and 20 leg 4 day trips can do that to you. But if you enjoy that, good for you.


Bye Bye---General Lee

To some of us, it's about WHO you're with, a lot more than WHERE you are.
I'll take midland with a great crew, over FLL with slam clicker grumps any day.
Especially on the job-
Again, GL, we get that you like your gig-
Good.
But it's not for everyone, just like swa's not for everyone-
For me, once I realized I liked domestic short trips, and being home often, same time zone, SWA was the spot to go. - that's not everybody's ideal. Doesn't have to be. Get it?

I like to fly. I like the 9 leg 3 day with steady sleep patterns. That gives me 1 or 2 landings a day, occasionally 3. But I like to fly. I like the terminal area-
I also came up flying a lot harder schedules, so I find it crazy ridiculous imagining how two major airline pilots at good companies debating who's job is better must look like to the 24 year old version of me slugging it out 7 legs a day in 1900's in an east coast weather system.
That guys is calling me a pu$$y for engaging you at all.

But keep on doing you GL, since we all know you will, and keep chasing that carrot. Or f^cking that chicken. however you want to term it. Maybe one day you'll even be a widebody captain(!) wow...

To the rest- don't get widebody envy. It's incredibly damaging to the profession.

Respect all flyers making their living with an airplane. ALL has its challenges, and every last job flying in aviation has earned respect.

 

[waveflyer]

Well..........you have the CHOICE to go to a bigger plane, and if you don't, well, that is your choice. That's better than not having a choice. If you previously flew to places like Africa and South America, it may have been an ACMI cargo carrier (?), and that's not exactly like a legacy. Have fun.



Bye Bye---General Lee

So again GL, this is fun. You discredit everybody who has done your type of flying. Regional "international" doesnt count if you dont .,, cross an ocean. ACMI doesn't count. Legacy doesn't count if you're junior.
So it really only counts if you're a line holder at a legacy, senior enough to hold nice city layovers-, is that it?

How is that NOT the rat race?

Wonder why dalpa tends to sell out: maybe bc no experience counts unless you're relatively senior on a widebody.

General, actually...stop f^cking" the chicken. You've f^cked it to death. It clucks no longer man.

Way too much work.
I'll take the 2 day JFK-LAX if I can't do international.
1 leg out, one leg back.
Every time you take off/land you're increasing your odds for something to go wrong. And the way you guys taxi, those are pretty bad odds.

Fu(k man, I can't believe you're a pilot. Grow a pair, flying isn't that scary if you're a capable pilot. Stick to being an F/O, the responsibility is waaay too much for your fragile azz.

 

[StopNTSing]

You guys just need to stop feeding the trolls. Their appetites are insatiable.

GL-

For the love of God, let these guys keep doing the coveted Houston-LaButtocks-LaGarbage-Midway-Tulsa stuff, they earned it.

Don't worry, we AirTran Epsilons will take care of that awful International flying . . . . . Even though the legs are long, they talk funny over there, and their McDonald's don't even have Quarter-Pounders!

Btw, I think I accidentally ate goat once, although it might have been lamb. :laugh:

Ty,

Thank Gawd you guys are there to show them the way. I hope the transition goes well for you, and hopefully you don't get too many multiple 5 leg day trips. Hey, they will be productive, no doubt!

No Wave, wrong again. Long haul is different that your jaunt down to San Juan, multiple crew with rest breaks and longer layovers. And, ACMI is great, but again that's not really the same. Yes, they do long haul flights, but most of them are ad hoc and they don't always know if they will adhere to their schedules. Sometimes they have set runs, and sometimes they don't. (go read the threads for Connie and Southern) FedEx and UPS tend to have set trips, and they don't run 17 days usually either, as many ACMI carriers do. I'm just saying there is a difference, and people should look into that before they apply. You know that. And, as far as what you do with farm animals when you get back to your farm in San Angelo, I don't really want to know.

You, sir, obviously have no international experience . . .

. . . . Goat is MUCH gamier than cat.

 

[canyonblue]

Somebody please go start a Delta thread so this moron has another place to go. A thread with the word "Southwest" draws this idiot like a moth to a lightbulb. Honestly, I have never seen a person so obsessed by an airline in my life. Yet another reason I believe this person to be a fraud. More likely a person set up to argue with us just to increase the number of hits on this website. There is no way that an airline pilot would act or talk the way that he does, I've shown his post to Delta pilots and they deny that he works there. Either that, or they wouldn't want to believe it. Way too embarrassing.

 

[madjack]

I am glad DL is doing well, now improve the contract! Then we all get swept up in the rising tide. Just like the good old days...a LCC like SWA should not be the industry leader in pilot compensation for over a decade...something is wrong with this industry...
