Teamster joke

[pilotpat]

That's because they should stick to driving trucks and stay out of the aviation business.

'Ya know Bofart, Borat...whatever - you are probably one of the biggest trolls on this board. You contribute nothing to the forums, except to chime in once, maybe twice a month to say how "ELITE" your company is or to bash NJ/Union Pilots when able. While I'm not one of them (at this time), you could never hold your hand to God and swear that 1108 has done nothing for the advancement of the fractional industry. If you think so, then you live in a very small, delusional world. You, kid, are nothing more than a jealous little punk who I would enjoy seeing in a dark parking lot at the FBO.

Hey pilotFAT, you're a loser that can't even get a job at a fractional. As for meeting me in a dark FBO parking lot, sorry Kid, I'm just not into the freaky things with other guys that you are obviously interested in. You have something on your chin, Kid.

Alright already, let's just lighten up. Here's one.

How can you tell if a pilot is at a party?

He'll tell you.

I didn't come up with that, I'm not clever enough, but I think it's funny as hell. Maybe we shouldn't take ourselves so seriously. We all have a fun job. We all choose to do it despite the obvious sacrificies, and we have all gotten here, at some level, despite the many who didn't make it. We're lucky! It's a sunny day. I'm going for a walk, then I'm going to work. 'Bye.

"Hey pilotFAT, you're the loser that can't even get a job at a fractional. As for meeting me in a dark FBO parking, I'll beat you down no matter where it may be. Get a life, Kid."

Hmmm, I dunno which response is better suited, Bogart.....I kinda liked your first one (quoted above" better, suits your screen name more, y'know?

Q:How many managers does it take to change a light bulb?

A:Zero! Managers don't actually do any work. They just have endless meetings with overpriced catered lunches, to b....h about how much they had to pay you to do it!

Nice to see you posting, HSF!

Bogart, what makes you say that PP can't get a job at a fractional? He only said he's not an 1108 pilot. Maybe he's at another frac company?

PilotPat, I wasn't interested in the dark parking lot... but I do appreciate that you gave credit to 1108 for their efforts to raise the bar in the industry. During their contract battle that was often listed as one of the goals, and I know that some of the NJ pilots (and this wife) hope that the IBB proposal will have a ripple effect.

Doh.... I think the Options group, especially, will appreciate that one.

I heard that joke on NPR (National Proletariat Radio) discussing the writers strike. It was the second joke. The first joke was:
How many producers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?



Answer Does it have to be a lightbulb?
Maybe I should have told them both together. And I tell you as a flops pilot there are times when I wish we could be MORE like the Teamsters of old.
Office you are in big trouble!

The joke was funny. I can just hear nomore’s faux Bronx accent while he’s telling it.

The joke was dated however. The 2007 version goes like this.

How many teamsters does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Answer: 50% plus 1

Funny thing Bugeye, I just talked to Derinda the other day to let her know I would not be taking the interview since I got a new gig on a Part 91 Gulfstream. She said she'd hold my app in queue 'til 9/08 since I'd make a good fit with the company. As for not being able to get a job at a frac...well, NJA is the only one I'd even consider going to. And I don't re-edit my posts after thinking of something new, kid. What would be on your chin is my f'ng boot, son.

NJW - you gave me a good laugh about the parking lot, but I know you're married and I am, as well. And credit is due to those who fought for what they have, and still have coming to them - that would be the Teamsters. Plain and simple.

Turbo...now that was funny.
