"Southwest would NEVER do that......"

[HA25]

And yet more examples of why aviation is not viewed as a true profession. Just take :30 minutes to read some of the stuff on FI.com... "My airline is better than your airline!" Or "Haha your stuck in that plane...ewwww."

I wonder if Doctors at the Mayo Clinic are in turf wars with Doctors at John Hopkins?

Or if lawyers write, under anonymous names, trash about lawyers at another firm.... Probably not, they are all hanging out after work at some bar in Manhattan.

VERY well put... It's the same as when I see guys wearing tattered uniforms, no hat (yes, it's what the public thinks a well paid pilot should look like), and worn out scuffed shoes.. If you want to get paid $250,000/year .. look and ACT the part.

The Hat, if worn properly, should never be worn indoors. Running up 16,000 posts on a forum, primarily whining like a schoolgirl most of the time, also does not look or ACT the part.

Bye Bye---General Lee

Thanks for the gate info Lee. I will log 1.3 hours today with a 5 hour duty day and earn over 1500 bucks flying to AMA today. Not only did I have breakfast with my kids (who I will hold a bit tighter this evening) this morning before school, I will have dinner with them also. The FO I am flying with is only earning 1000 bucks for the same. I will buy him and the crew coffee and with our family like spirit that five hours will only seem like a social hour.

Moral of the story Mr. Lee, to each their own. I love my life and you spend a good part of yours making certain that everybody is convinced that you love your life more than others and I am sincerely happy you do. Our world looks like it would have larger problems if you didn't.

Please give this a rest. Pretty please!!!

Great, you get to go to AMA for $1500. I did an awesome troop charter to Germany that had me dead head in First Class over, get a nice hotel, take troops somewhere I can't tell you, dead head back to Germany, and then another DH home, all for about $4500. Yeah, one leg, two great layovers with great German food and beer, and three first class dead heads. It was awesome, and it sure beat AMA, guaranteed!

I know you guys have a good deal, and you are paid well. My point mainly is that your group in general still doesn't treat the AT guys well, the pay disparity is ridiculous, and SWAPA should do something about that.

The reason I posted this thread is because of that fat Captain on those commercials, and how he used that line "We would NEVER do that." Well, never say never, right? This industry is changing fast, and just when you think your airline has a good thing going, things can change.

No, that's not the case. I just like to point out the differnces between airlines, since most of them think that we would all LUV to do exactly what they do. The high pay is nice, but multiple leg days for 30 years, nah. It's good to have variety when flying. But tell them that, and you get an eye full on the screen. It's humorous.

Where is that portly SWA Captain in those "People's Court" commercials? He is probably huffing and puffing, running between gates during his 25 min turns. Someone that old should be enjoying his later years of flying by doing one leg a day to Hawaii, or somewhere interesting like Sydney. Oh well....

He's in Lubbock eating TexMex. You know you want some...

It's easy to get a rise out of the Corndogs

The question many have on this board is Why do you have this over powering need inside to try and annoy some people? What kind of satisfaction do you get by taking precious moments out of your life to do something so useless to anyone? Why do you live to act like this? Why do you lower yourself to such a low level? Do you ever read what you say and regret it after the fact? Some People absolutely loath you on this board. Why doesn't that bother you? Do you think that hiding behind a mask protects your character? Do you really think you are doing anything constructive with such embarrassing behavior? Would your family really be proud of your words on this forum? And actions?

Mine certainly wouldn't.
