I want to thank Capt. ********** of AirTran flight 682 ICT-ATL sat. 10/28. I have never heard a more enthusiastic PA announcement. Playing the harmonica and singing his welcome, he really awakened everyone at 7am. It's nice to see someone enjoying their job. Keep it up!

Yeah, he's been doing that for a looonnnnnngggg time. Well before I ever even thought about joining up.

Don't know if a harmonica wakeup call at 0700 is what passengers want (I think most would prefer to go back to sleep), but you're right, it's nice to have positive, happy people at work.

Surprisingly enough, the majority of people here are like that. Generally happy about their company and their job, despite crappy negotiating tactics and a few blatant contract violations. Overall the morale here is pretty good, which makes it nice to go to work! :)

Come on out and fly with us any time!
 
I would hear his announcement when I worked there and thought it was quite embarrassing until I heard this Continental capt. blow his whistle and pretend he was boarding a train.... maybe its me, just seemed to be a bit corny.

Duuude, I like yooosed to like do like freaking toot toons and stuff on da PA, yknow like name dat freaking toon and stuff, but like dat one time after like dat ole Taco Bell, it gots too messy an smellie, so like I like let ole Ty Guy be like da in charge o dat and stuff.

AWWWW YYEAAAAHHH!!!!!!!!
 
Its better than being an FO for a micromanaging captain who has no sense of humour and a biatch to work with.
 
Or the "Hat Police" or the "Galley Police" . . . . oh, wait.


Nevermind . . .

Hick/SCAB

I have experienced that hick do that digraceful annoucement several times, it was never cool once. I don't expect much from a EAL SCAB and airtran puke however. I'm sure the airtan pax eat it up though, typical.

Man it didnt take long for this post to turn south. Why do you do that? What possible joy can you get from coming in and insulting Airtran and its pilots? Nobody attacked you. But yet you felt the need to come in and make that post. I will never understand flightinfo. :confused:

"AirTran Puke", huh?

Sounds like someone got canned.

Either that, or you are being incredibly disrespectful to those who have either extended you the courtesy of a ride, or worked alongside you.

Either way, next time your own carrier dumps you on the street, or can't get you where you need to go, make sure you don't ask us "AirTran Pukes" for anything other than a kick in the arse, which you clearly need.

This board is so predictable. I love it!!!!!! Pukes!!!!!
 
once again I'll say that if anyone has the balls to spew this crap to my or anyone elses face DO IT and quit hiding behind the computer. Hiding behind the computer only verifies that your nothing but a coward. Say it to my face. If you want I'll post my schedule for the month and we can meet up on an overnite.

What's predictable is that someone who was here for four years and left to go somewhere else didn't make it through upgrade here.

What is also predictable is said loser, still smarting from the failure, even though he has supposedly "moved on to bigger and better" spends his time trolling AirTran posts . . .

That says more about you than anything you write.

Good luck this time around. Hope CAL has a mentor program.

That's nice and all, but does anyone really want to be wide awake at 7am after they just boarded a flight. As for me... shade down, ear plugs in... nighty nite (especially since I had to get up at 4am to be at the airport by 5:30am). I don't need the Capt to sing me songs to get the ole blood flowing right before I hit the sack.

*********** is one of the best pilots I have met. I think it's cool what he does on the PA. Passengers love ****** and that's all that matters. Customer comment cards verify that. We should try to find some ways to have a little fun with our pax instead of hiding in the cockpit. Good work ********** keep it up.

Coach and LB think he's way cool.
 
I think the harmonica playing is a little corny as well but the man saved all our jobs about 7 years ago so he can do whatever he wants.

Most of our pilots hate the fact that we don't officially have unlimited jumpseats right now . . . . but clowns like you who ignore what we do offer (one off line jumpseater per installed jumpseat) and simply focus on the walk-up pass the company will sell you IF THE JUMPSEAT IS TAKEN by ANOTHER OFF-LINE PILOT makes me think we should drop the pass program altogether, and just offer one OAL jumpseater per installed jumpseat, period.

That way, no freaking brain-dead nebbish like yourself will ever be on this board again, crying about the fact that a pass is availbale to him for $25. and ignoring that we offer the same jumpseat policy as most other airlines.


Incidentally, there is a pending grievance about the change from the unlimited jumpseat policy we used to have, and many gate agents don't charge for the pass, anyway. In your case, though, please make sure to tell us how you feel as you are welcomed aboard, instead of hypocritically smiling, greeting us, getting the ride home, and then b!tching on this board once you're safely home. We need your sorry @ss on-board like a snake needs a pair of shoes.

Hmmm, I guess you wont be getting my $25
 
Hearing ******** song every leg does get old. However, most of the pax genuinely love it.

********* is also a Vietnam combat veteran who flew some incredibly hairy missions for the US Army as a chopper pilot. For a brief period he was also a POW after being shot down. He was able to escape shortly after he was captured. His dedicated service to his nation along with his willingness to truly put his life on the line for his nation, in my opinion, covers a multitude of sins.
