The ASA Dulles Deal

[dojetdriver]

So far no furloughs coming back. Oh yeah, SH said that INC was ready to spend money to make all this work. Inc seems to be under the impression that if they make this work, they stand to become the super regional carrier. He didn't come out and say it, but he hinted that Inc may even loan UAL some big bucks if that's what it takes to make it work.

Regionals using the pay to play method, awesome!

Isn't Chautauqua supposed to be done with United sometime soon too?

Funny how United is worried about our performance...United is lucky to still be around just hope "they" make it!

Don't take it personally, but the Atlanta gentlemen you speak of give everyone dirty looks. It's one of the most unfriendly pilot groups I've run into. We don't even acknowledge each other in the concourses.

Yeah it's like NY. If you look at someone you might get SHOT!

Why should it be expected of me to acknowledge someone I don't even know? Wow!! You're a pilot!! HI!! Who gives a rat's ___?

What ever happened to professional courtesy or heck, just being professional and looking someone in the eye if they say hello to you? You don't have to buy them coffee or ask them how their trip is going, but returning a hello? Grow up.

That's a lesson the Delta pilots could really learn. You could ride the escalator with them or be next to them waiting for the train, and they'll ignore you up until the moment they find out they have to ask you for the jumpseat for them to get home.

Generation Me is better at socializing through Facebook, Texting and Twittering. Looking them in the eye freaks them out.

Or it could just be that Atlanta is the world's busiest airport.

Seriously, in ATL if I said hi to every pilot I passed I'd lose my voice by the end of a 4 day. Do people really get offended if someone doesnt acknowledge their presence? Go look in a mirror- that guy will say hello and wave back until your heart's content.

I at least look at nearly every pilot I see. Are you sure you're not confusing ASA pilots with Delta pilots? ASA pilots are the ones with silver signature items know know...

In all seriousness, SH stated that we would not bring back any furloughs and PBS will surely keep our furloughs on the street.

Why? When you're non-reving in civies do you say "Hi" to every other passenger you see? Why should every "pilot" have to say "Hi" to every "pilot" they see in uniform? I'm a far cry from "Generation Me". I think it's more that the young kids think its "cool" that they're pilots and have to tell everyone, whereas the older generation could give a crap less.

Oooh!!! I'm a police officer!! Hi!!

Plus, all the darkies in the airport puts everyone in a bad mood.

Wow! Winner for best flame?

When I based in LGA, BOS, and LAX flying DelCon they DAL guys were always friendly. Maybe it has to do with the natural culture that goes along with smaller bases.

When I based in CVG, it seemed a bit more anonymous and akin to what you reference above. Not a slam on the CVG guys, just an observation.

No-

We just don't acknowledge YOU...

We high-five and bump kuckles all over the place, but your mom dresses you funny, and you smell strange (not to mention that "fashion-forward" "bowl-cut" you are sporting these days,) so we just pretend YOU don't exist....

-Nothing personal-but you're just a huge dork!

Answer me this. Can it be flame if it's true?
