Steenland on Today show

[Frank Lorenzo]

He is as much a snake as Lorenzo or any of the other airline executives. What a filthy and corrupt business.

I resemble that statement!

I felt sorry for Doug during the interview. When he shared his very sad story of how he was in the bottom 10% of Fortune 500 CEO's, I shed a tear.

No executive should have to scrape by on 26 million per year. What a cruel industry!

 

[Schwanker]

If NWALPA had any balls, .....

I assume you don't mean the pair that's resting on their chin!

[mesaba13]

I wish she would have asked him how his pay is justified when NWA is last in customer satisfaction!

 

[Diesel-9]

Not defending him but his $26 mil is over 4 years. 6.5 a year bonus if he is on property. Annual salary just over $500,000.

 

[PCL_128]

I zeroed in on that too, but I think she said that as an attempt to bait him. She later got him to admit it's not a pilot problem.

Yeah, I saw that later in the interview. I paused the video as soon as she said it and posted because it made me so mad. Guess she's actually on our side, though. Nice for once.

 

[XJPilot547]

I thought it was well done. I especially liked the email from Will G. I threw up a lil bit when Steenland said the pilots thank him for sticking around.

 

[captain dad]

"next!"

Sooner or later, every rat sucks the pipe. Steenland, you're on deck.

He flat out lied right to that reporters face and then reprimanded her on "getting the facts straight". I hope all that money can fill that hole in your soul Dougy

I am so glad I don't work for such unethical, evil, vile creatures.

 

[COpilot]

Hi LIED !!! Right in front of us all...

B.S. !!! I am so pissed at the people who run these companies, any of them GM, CO, IBM. This guy lied to every pilot at NWA.

If you people say thanks to him when he comes into your cockpit you deserve what you get. Ocams Razor was that you who talks so fond of him?

 

[Diesel]

How does he move around? Does he airline on NWA into JFK or does he fly on a private jet? I can't imagine him flying on any nwa flight without him having some problems.

 

[The Victors]

Not defending him but his $26 mil is over 4 years. 6.5 a year bonus if he is on property. Annual salary just over $500,000.

sweet. what bonus did everyone else get?

 

[The Victors]

meaning you and the rest of the hammered employees?

 

[capt. megadeth]

I threw up a lil bit when Steenland said the pilots thank him for sticking around.

I believe that about as much as I believe anyone in management "sacrificed" anything. Fuking liar.

 

[BOOZENEWS]

If ALPA and its member pilots really had any balls they would massively strike and do time in jail if they had to for not obeying the "go back to work" order following the strike.

It is high time we paralize the entire airline industry for all the incompetence and grand scale embezzlement schemes of its CEO's and the abrogated pension obligations, the massively cut pay scales etc. etc.

Can I get an amen! THat is what is needed to send a message to the crooks! Imagine having a girlfriend that cheats on you left and right then rationalizes it and tells you how sweet you are while telling you how sorry she is, then goes out and cheats again. Rinse and repeat. When are pilots going to have the conviction to stand as one and launch a nationwide SOS?

God it F*#ing scares me that if these same girly man pri&#cks tried to fight off the British during the revolutionary war I would not be this now. Ditto on WW2.

BE A MAN AND STAND UP!

Its not that we can't change this. Its that they have no spine to stand up and do it!!

PUS#$ies

One of our guys got bumped off of a NWA jumpseat by him a couple months ago.....in DCA.

How does he get to jumpseat? Is he a pilot? Too bad the captain didn't kick him off.

One of our guys kicked our airline president off the jumpseat....TWICE!!! :laugh: The guy is my hero!!!
