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

[HA25]

Just another legacy carrier

something the matter with that? Just means we've been around longer than you or your father, and likely his....

A special shout out to the SWA FO that sat in the bar at the LAX hotel, in full uniform for two hours eating dinner. Tie on, balding head gleaming, smiling graciously at the other customers.

Where the f***k do you guys find these people ?

 

[FurloughedAgain]

Hey, hey, go easy on the "balding head" comments. Those of us who are "follically challenged" are not that way by choice!

 

[freightdogfred]

I will disagree with that statement. SWA knew exactly what they were doing when it came to the 717 deal. Now as far as the AT deal......that is a different story.

There were both part of the same deal, Vern

Agreed. He could have had a golden mane that even the Bee Gees would have envied - He'd still have been a Maroon.

Was he wearing a "One Luv" lanyard?

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.

My hat always made me look like a Russian Sailor, it was huge on me. When I walked through the terminal passengers were scattering because they thought the Russian Navy was invading PHX Sky Harbor. So I'm glad I don't have to wear it. Maybe thats why I make far less than $250K. It does look good on some people, and looks awful on others. Other than the hat, I do ACT like an Airline Pilot very well. But in reality I'm just a house wife that does a killer load of laundry and I am very punctual when it comes to chauffeuring the kids to dance class and swim practice. Reserve life is good.

After Thanksgiving, it's a great time to non-rev anywhere...on anyone.

Hey! You can't complain about the flight being wide open when your trying to nonrev with your wife. Unless you were hoping you didn't have to sit together ;-) Thanks for the props. It is a slow time of year and it's our latest city with little brand recognition on the west coast. I have gotten great feedback from our pax out of SNA and thats encouraging. Your CSR people there are great. There is another new low cost mexican airline that got approved for the service too. Have to do something about that!

No. He was wearing a SWAPA lanyard. Really..

We have Swapa lanyards? I don't recall ever seeing one.

Although I really don't need a replacement for my "I hate Bloviators" Lanyard.

 

[Time Served]

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."

Word!
