SWA/FL Codeshare

[General Lee]

It was well after you came along in 2002. For those who were not here before 9/11 this was a very informative and popular message board for those preparing for interviews at ALL of the Major Airlines. It was a place where interviewees could get the latest gouge, as well as the latest hiring information.

Then came 9/11.

This once popular message board became an unpopular bitch board, with the primary target aimed at the one airline still hiring after 9/11, SWA. From the bowels of the internet it spawned a message board anti-christ known as General Lee. From day one he utilized his space on here to hate on anything Southwest. Perhaps he was furloughed, or at best, saw his seniority fall as Delta let go of a large amount of it's pilot force. Maybe this was how he could get his anger out, his own therapy for his misplaced rage. Misplaced as many would be angry at their own management, but not him, Delta could never do anything wrong. Soon after, AirTran would get the joy of his childish rants, as they soon grew much too big in Atlanta for his Delta to comprehend. Ironically, he now seems to act as if he FEELS for the AirTran pilot. If you get a chance to look over that link I posted, check out how many had the join date of 11-25-2001 and look at when they last posted. Many grew too tired of the direction this message board took and left forever.

It is pretty sad, that a once civil popular message board, has fallen to this.

What a crazy diatribe. I am an equal opportunity debater. Some people take that the wrong way, and decide to start slamming, usually because they can't debate. The Corndog Mafia really didn't like it when I just stated that I would not want to do what they do, fly where they fly. That started the biggest hissyfit I've ever seen. "HOW DARE I NOT WANT TO BE A CORNDOG." That lasted for at least a couple of years, and was highlighted with one of their own becoming a very strict moderator, which eventually ended. I have had run-ins with other personalities on this board, like Ty Webb (we're now civil, especially because of AT's current situation), some Comair characters, a few SkyWest characters, etc. I enjoy the debate, and I enjoy the gossip and rumors. The key thing here is that there is an ignore function, if somebody doesn't agree with someone else.

I actually get a lot of good feedback from junior pilots and get a lot of PMs from people with advice questions. I don't mind giving my advice, and maybe someday I can have my own section on here "Ask General Lee", where I will dole out career advice, relationship advice, and advice for JonJuan on how to deal with his cellmate, "Uncle" Sal.

I still think this board is great, and it can rise again. If people don't like people on here, use the ignore function.


Bye Bye---General Lee

Don't hurt that arm patting yourself on the back.

Your issue isnt complaining about everything SWA.

It's about 16,000 posts complaining about SWA.

There are others who do yeomans work at that, Dan Roman for one, but they are normal compared to your warlord trolling.

Thanks for elevating me to "warlord" status. Not all of my 16K posts have been about SWA, but the elevation of the cockiness level of the Corndogs on this board since the legacy BKs has helped raise the post count considerably. I used to post that I thought SWA was a great company, who treated you guys well and paid you well. I just never wanted to fly 5 legs a day on a single aircraft type forever, all with 25 min turns. Then the AT aquisition happened, and a lot of the praise I heaped on your company in general went away. Then the Corndog attitudes on this board towards the AT pilots made it even worse. So, you can see my reason for adding extra comments and opinions about certain members of your group as of late. Had a fairly smooth merger occurred, I probably wouldn't have spent much time or effort on the topic. Unfortunately, that hasn't been the case.

As far as Dan Roman goes, he obviously likes his situation and likes to tell others about it. That is GOOD. But, he also calls it like he sees it, and can see through a lot of your BS and can give an honest opinion that hits close to the mark. I aspire to act like that too, but even I am not perfect. That is what makes FI interesting.

Umm......Yes. It is conclusive.

A narcissist at psychotic levels.

Unbelievable.

I think you would be the first one to ask for advice. Probably on how to finally be "cool." I would say, "Sorry, no chance that will ever happen, off to Midland you go...."



Btw, if you didn't see the part after the "Ask General Lee" comment, about giving out "relationship advice", and didn't think it was a joke, you really are a no personality jerk. Probably spot on.

You really do act on a 3rd grade level.

 

[Skyboy722]

General, you are out of your effing mind.

 

[scoreboardII]

swadude, equating anything GL says as third grade does an injustice to third graders everywhere.

 

[General Lee]

This is an anonymous board for rumors and industry advice. You need to not take it too seriously. You probably are a big ZERO.

Who are you again? Oh, that's right, I don't effing care...

Unbelievable.

At his family alcoholic intervention, he calls everyone else crazy and unstable. Lee, why the anger and defensiveness? Were you breastfed by your sister?

It was your sister, last night..... Hey, how is "Uncle Sal" doing? You don't know? Roll over and ask him. He's your bottom bunk guy in your cell.

The funny part is that you think we all care who you are.

Oh-Kay? Say what? First off, who are you again? Second, I really don't care what "you all" think. Treat your AT brothers and sisters better, m-Kay?

General,

This thread goes to show how idiotic your post have become over all the years. Your last 2-3,000 post look something like this...

1- All SW pilots fly 8 legs a day.
2- LBB and AMA suck and SW pilots overnight there every night.
3- Southwest pilots treat AAI pilots like crap. Huh?
4- Telling regional guys that they suck and are flying your flying.

Etc, etc. Rinse and repeat everyday. The amount of good accurate info that you add to this site has dwindled to nothing (see above).

You tried to switch to another screen name with OYS. The writing style was exactly the same. You wanted to get off those 16 thousand GL post by starting a new persona and it didn't work. People saw right through it.

Oh, I forgot about the earth shattering Rihanna post. That was one of your top 10's.

What's so funny is you talk about debating people, but the reality is you don't. You just go right back to your same old BS every post. When you get painted in a corner, you start talking about Lubbock or how we treat AAI. Is that debating? It's not even close. It's laughable.
