UA to charge UAX employees per segment

[Ops check good]

Spoken like a true management troll, "shut up and fly the f-ing plane" how 'bout, no.....fly it yourself chimp.

I think I could figure out how to fly it, not well but I think I could get it airborne. It would be that whole landing thing that would get me! Ive watched you guys do it..... looks hard.

 

[Ops check good]

Settle down over there! What if you had to fly all over the country , begging for a ride, just to get to your crappy job.Then they charge you on top of it. Lighten up Frances!

I was crabby so I went into total A-hole mode. It does suck that flight benefits continue a downward spiral.

It's easy, spend 65k to get to Commercial Multi Engine, figger out how to get 1250 hours more, then figger out how you will feed your family on 75 hour guarantee times $23.00 per hour, living in some of the highest cost housing areas in the country. Spend 5-6 years at poverty wages(wife and kids), waiting patiently for the elusive upgrade, only to go back to being a 19 year old SGU schedulers personal chew toy. You think it's easy, come on down.
Sorry, some of the pinheads on here think what we do is a walk in the park, try operating in and out of ORD on a deicing day, times 4. Most mainline guys will do one pass, us regional pukes will do 4 days right in the middle of it.
So if I sound intolerant, it's because I am, we do some of the most technically challenging flying in the business. Try an 18 leg 4 day in and out of ORD with APUs deferred and multiple DMIs to boot. We earn our keep, period, and I do this week after week without Chief Pilot intervention.

Who is this being addressed to? You do realize a majority of LCC/Legacy pilots are ex-regional and have gone through what you are describing?

So, who do you hold responsible for your career path? This crap is nothing new, you act like you are the first poor fool to run into these problems. Go preach your problems to those guys who have been furloughed and praying for the opportunity to just fly again..I'm sure they will feel bad for you.

I am.
When a dill hole tells me to "just fly the f-in plane" that reeks of pilot pushing, and coming from a DXer, it's inappropriate.

I am. I paid my dues and continue to do so every flight hour, I have been careful in choosing my path.

If dispatchers are so worthless and not needed, then why are you so worried what a dispatcher would have to say?

Guess the question is, why are you still stuck at the regional level? Who or what is keeping you out of the majors? Or are you one of those guys that will always bitch about being at the regional level, with no intentions to really leave? Just curious, how many years have you "paid your dues" at the regional level?

 

[OCP]

This turned into another pilot vs dispatcher fight? Why are these popping up all over these days? I thought we all worked for the same crappy industry.

I am not worried about anything a dikskratcher has to say, if you think "just fly the f-en plane is appropriate" get to a position where you can just fly the f-en plane yourself. If you had followed this industry, at all, you would have noticed that except for a very few positions they have actually been furloughing. With the last furloughs coming back(yay) there will be some movement. And yes after 15+ years I will willingly leave Skyw without a moments hesitation. Skyw and all the other regionals will be scrambling for pilots, good luck, hope you have something to dispatch.....

Newsflash, if you are a LLC/Legacy pilot you probably have a Commercial Multi Engine ticket, and have paid said dues, whereas some of the dikscratchers who think they can come here and post krap probably don't have the certificates listed above, do the math....

Let me know if you need help packing.

You and chimp will be the last to know.

 

[PBRstreetgang]

My resignation will occur at 2:01 prior to departure, as per the PPM.

I am gathering by this post you are claiming I am a dispatcher, am I getting this right?

I thought you were the fat buck toothed kid.....that would make you a dispatcher, right? That's what all they look like.

I'm very offended by your use of the "M" word. You know it's just as bad as the "N" word right!?

You didn't go??? I would have so been there. That had the potential of being an awesome overnight.

Absolutely terrified.....
Whatever, 3rd Irish coffee, down, switchin' to beer, planning on a carafe of martinis for lunch, wanna be face down in the bushes by 3 PM. You? Sitting in your cubicle drinking SGU berry flavored Kool Aid, digitizing a keyboard.
Sure glad I am me and not you!

 

[PBRstreetgang]

"can seek out targets from the ground by infiltrating radio broadcasts between aircraft and air traffic control, and then use a second communication system to send malicious messages to that could "take full control of the plane" or indirectly affect the pilot's behavior"

This wouldn't even interrupt the USA Today reading....

You best be listening to the Doors "well I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer" :beer:
Ahh day drinking. Always seems like a great idea until mid to late afternoon when you become a worthless pile of garbage. haha. Enjoy your day off (atleast I hope this is your day off)

Getting it in the air is the hard part. It'll come down on its own.
