Stop the divisive SWA AAI stuff

[Flyer1015]

IIRC a moderator proved GL was posting from a Utah location that was then proved to be from Skywest HQs. Skywest employees have access to DeltaNet which would explain his knowledge of Delta. You can access flight ops pages and see seniority lists, schedules, bid packets, etc.

You are not a Delta pilot so stop faking it.

Combined with the consistent time periods he would post going years back that certainly did not reflect his time being in Europe.

GL is not a Delta pilot and likely not a pilot at all.

General,
If you could post a picture of you're wife then I'm sure everyone would agree that long haul is the best escape for you ( or her), grow up and keep doing your day job, you're like the small fat bully in the play ground always whining

Absolutely false, and that person retracted her initial statement. First of all, the moderators can see "where" the posts are, but not a name or web address. That is the truth, as stated by the Webmaster himself (and other mods I know on another board.

There is NO way you can retrace any posts. Nope. Have I been through SLC? You bet, many airlines fly there and layover there.

Sorry 1015, but that is ridiculous. Good try though!

Dublin,

Funny stuff. You obviously know you can't debate anything I post, and instead resort to the above. It doesn't bother me though, primarily because you are a complainer and probably a virgin with bad halitosis and flatulence.

Uhhhhhhhhh, a 767 at any of the three big airlines goes all over, including domestic, Europe, Asia, and South America. The big 3 don't do the intra Texas krap you guys LUV to do. Your argument lacks any intelligence, kinda like you yourself.

[General Lee]

Why are you so jealous of SWA?

Uhhhhhh, what? Never said that or even thought that. I'm sure that your airline was great prior to the merger stuff, and it pays well, but my deal here is to give basic differences so prospective new hires can start to investigate on their own. I think all of the big 3 airlines are better choices than being at the stagnate Corndog. It's called an opinion, backed by facts. 15,000 total retirements at the big 3 combined with billions in profits can't be wrong. Bye now.

General,

You know you try to argue out of both sides of your mouth, right?

Your rail on SW with words like Lubbock, Midland, Multiple Legs, NUTS, LUV, Fonz jackets, Stagnation, AirTran integration issues, One type of AC, No Choice, etc, etc.

Did I miss anything? Then you come on here and say you aren't anti-SW and just giving advice about choice between DL and SW? Please.

It just makes you look like a idiot. Pick a line and stick with it. You only flip and flop when you're called out.

Your anti-SW anger really comes from Delta being crushed into Bankruptcy while SW continued to prosper. You know it and everyone here knows it.

Get over it.

Wow, I figured out where you are based, DEN. (You obviously smoke a lot of weed)

All of those things I mention are TRUE. LBB, stagnation, multiple legs, one aircraft type, quick turns, etc. All of those things need to be considered by potential new hires. Thanks for reminding everyone. But, that isn't anti-Corndog, but rather descriptive of the job. You may think those are slams, but instead those are likely things any new hire there will experience.

And all of the legacies were hurt by your airline after 9-11, especially with those fuel hedges back then. Well, a lot has changed, and BK was used and not fun for any legacy employee. Now the big 3 are stronger, make 4 times the profit of your airline, giving out twice the profit sharing, and retiring thousands which creates unbelievable upward movement. Those are facts you try not to bring up. Better pay, profit sharing, retirement plan (15% DC), 5000 retirements at each legacy in the next 10 years. You just can't compete with that. Then throw in "choice" of flying and fleets, and you're not even in the same league. The big 3 are leaving you in the West Texas dust.

Ahhh, SWA (vs poor business models and unsustainable contracts) caused the BKs and furloughs...now we see why the lack of LUV from the general....

Careful, you sound like you're on dope too. It certainly wasn't the pilots fault. There were some huge mistakes made, but don't blame employees. The pay and benefits are almost back to pre BK or getting closer, but that doesn't mean everything will then fall apart. I'd say better management at all of the legacies now (although Smizek needs to be watched).

Notice since the BKs and recent consolidation, your own "family" attitude has been strained due to the merger and SLI. Then GK added interesting banter in the media about trimming costs to get back to LCC status. Lots of things have changed since the BK days, including HUGE profits now at your competition. Get used to it.

Very true, but please don't blame SWA for the legacy's decade of BK and concessions....

I never did.(I said SWA hurt the legacies) SWA had great hedges and beat the Legacies then. That was then. Now Consolidation has changed the game, along with bag fees and change fees that add billions to the coffers, and pax don't seem to mind. The big 3 will only get bigger and more profitable. And don't forget your high pay rates were directly tied to a certain ATL based Legacy. Remember that too.

My my, I think Jenni is gonna hit 20,000 posts tonight, just on this thread alone with all her irrelevant and tired arse posts. Really, 20,000 posts from some big building in Utah, really Jenni?

 

[madjack]

I hope the legacy mgmt teams have learned from their horrendous decade...not blaming the pilots, would still never trust any legacy to not furlough or bk again..make all the LBB comments you can, legacy pilot (if that what u are) pride and confidence mean the industry is doing well and the bar will hopefully be raised....

Extra Billions of $ of profits and 5,000 retirements probably means a very small chance of furlough. And, if you really are a Corndog pilot, hopefully you guys will keep the bar up too.

We know one thing though, Freeturd will probably stay an XJT pilot or move back to Nam to fly the big jets.

Good luck to you both.

Well putz, at least I'm a real pilot at an airline unlike you sitting in some cubicle in Utah, on the internet, picking your boogers & eating them while you gulp down BBQ chips and Mountain Dews. 'Looser'! Really now, 20,000 posts, are you kidding me!

Yeah, okay Cheesecake. Keep telling yourself that nonsense. Most of my posts over the last 14-15 years have been to prove guys like you wrong on a multitude of subjects. It's actually been a pleasure, and so darn easy.

I think most Regional pilots will have a chance to make it to a Legacy (15,000 retirements coming). The only question is when they make the jump. Joining at the end of a huge hiring wave would not be as good, subjecting oneself to better possibilities of downgrades or even furloughs. Timing is a big deal now.

But, there are some people who just won't be able to make the jump. They might have this entitlement issue, that includes "I've been flying mainline pax at the Regionals, so I deserve to be blended in as a Capt..." That type of attitude will keep them where they are.

I think Regional Captains with a decade or more in the left seat could have some issues. Freeturd, otoh, had many years as an SIC in an RJ in Vietnam, and he hasn't been able to make the jump as of yet. I have given free advice to some on the Regional side, to head to a LCC first and then try for the Legacies.

Hopefully that will be a better path for him.
