United buys 40 EMB175s

[General Lee]

Horton is but one man, what happened to his particular bonus is hardly a game-changer.

As for scope bumps, I've said numerous times that I would love for you to be right about that, I don't want to be stuck at the regionals for life, even though it's starting to look that way for me, scope or no scope. I'm already 38, and all I have to show for it is seven years of yanking gear on some flavor of a regional jet.

Ike,

I had 47 year olds in my class in 96. They are almost retiring now. In a few years there will be tons of retirements at all 3 legacies. I have no doubt you will have choices coming up here. Hang in there.

Which one are you General?

Uhhhhhhhhh.......hmmmmm.......did I say tomorrow, or Tues? There, I doubled it. And, there are 2 FOs per flight.

Looking at the bid packet, there are flights to Zurich, Brussels, Milan Malapensa, Venice (48 hour layover---I like that one), London Heathrow (late flight), Paris, Dusseldorf, Amsterdam, and Stuttgart. How many did you say again?


Bye Bye---General Lee

Why would I tell anyone? Flyer1015 was wrong about the number of trips leaving ATL for Europe, and I am correct. There is a great chance I will be on one of those, either Mon or Tues. I usually do 3 on 4 off, unless there is a very nice longer layover that I am interested in. I try to mix it up layover wise, and swap trips now and then to see different cities. It's great, and I really enjoy it.

I've been hearing this "in a few years" business since 1999. Not that I won't hang in there either way, it's not like I have any other skills.

 

[PBRstreetgang]

HAHAHAHAA. Ok, Gramps....... Go apply your underarm Low T treatment and sit in your rocker.... If you disagree with ANYTHING I have to say, then prove me wrong. You can't, and it's obvious. As you can see, I am pro-airline (mine), and that makes some people mad. Oh well. Disagree and prove it, or just keep rockin in the chair.....Bye Gramps!


Bye Bye---General Lee

Pretty expert on the Low-T thing, right down to the application.
Great, that explains your constipated know it all drivel, you are 6'4", 170 with 3" of pharmaceutical driven pink steel. Bet you abuse that blow up doll like a monkey on a football. Kind of like your mad MS flt sim skills.

'96 newhire with 47 year olds in your class, if that were true shouldn't be hard to narrow down who you are, 6'4" 170lbs and 3" of low t pink steel. There is a rare profile.

There were 100 newhires per month for years starting in 96, but you are right, not too many guys had the "Learch" look like I did. So, why is it that you are still an FO on the E120 when you were hired back on the Navajo in the mid 80s? Did you get a DUI or bust multiple FAA rides to become unmarketable to any other carrier? No college? "Uncle" Steve's grip too tight on you? It's gotta be one of those. So, what will your airline do when 15,000 slots open at the 3 legacies over the next decade? That plus new hiring minimums will make staffing a challenge. It will be interesting, but at least we know you and "Uncle" Steve will be there in TWF, ready to keep the planes flying, from the right seat anyway....

There ya go again with the just plain juvenile mean, I will ask again what is exactly wrong with being an EMB120 F/O? You aren't even a pilot so that EMB F/O has something you will never have, 121 time in their logbook. So sorry to burst your fantasy, nope no DUI, more college than I care to remember, and the ability to pass every FAA ride, including multiple types without muss nor fuss, so no drunks, flunks or any of your other fantasies.
I will move on when the right airline calls, taking my time and choosing wisely, unlike you, until airlines get desperate enough to hire zit encrusted, basement dwelling, booger eating, goobers, with the writing skills equilavent to an 8th grader, you will remain living in you moms basement, and pounding on the plastic blow up doll you call your wife, and working on getting to 35,000 posts.
Your homoerotic statements tell more about your personality than you will ever know, bring it up with your therapist, maybe after you get those fluttering hands under control, you can work on your latent homosexual tendencies, and come out of the closet, or in your case the basement. It's OK, be all that you can be, if you are gay that's OK, being yourself is what matters.

For the record, General, I, for one, have never busted so much as a stage check (knock on wood), never had a DUI, my last traffic ticket of any kind was last century, never been disciplined at ANY employer (once again, knock on wood), yet, I don't appear to be terribly marketable either.

Genny isn't a real pilot, any real pilot including one at DAL, would know about the current hiring process, but when one lives in his moms basement and spends all their time either at the therapist or scouring the Internet for details on their fantasy job, they miss much about what goes on in the real world. 17,000 posts and the writing skills of an 8th grader, say that he is not what he purports to be.

This from a career FO on the Brasilia! I don't think you got past high school, and you have no ambition to continue on and get even an online degree, because your special friend "Uncle" Steve told you NO.....

Yeah, I've often been told that I need to be nicer to the staving pygmies of New Guinea.

Genny, Genny, Genny,
Those that have read your previous posts are familiar with your mom, the Mrs Wolowitz of the south. While she is preparing the brisket you so dearly love, she takes time wile cooking, to service Uncle Steve, your mentor and fanboy crush.
Uncle Steve is a DGS ramper with a chubbie chaser fetish. It is understandable that you have a hero fantasy relationship with the man who makes your mom squeal like she is riding a roller coaster.
So while you sit in front of your computer spending hundreds of hours scouring the Internet with your Bing searches, and listening to Justin Beiber on the headphones( to drown out your moms squeals), you slowly inch towards 18,000 posts on F/I and will soon have another milestone behind you(18k).
Don't worry, your fixation with Uncle Steve, and homoerotic projections are OK, I am sure your therapist will be able to help you become more comfortable with your tendencies.
You get those fluttering hands under control, work real hard, and you will achieve all you can achieve!

There were 100 newhires per month for years starting in 96,


Bye Bye---General Lee

Wrong junior! There were exactly 117 new hires at Delta in 1996 starting with the first class on October 2, 1996. The last class of new hires before the furloughs was in January of 1992!
You're a fraud!

Ummmm, yeah.... I was hired in late 96 and until the furloughs I had almost 3200 hired behind me. When hiring STARTED in 96 (didn't say the month) then there was about 100 hired per month shortly there after. I think 97 and 98 opened the flood gates, then it slowed to 10 a month in mid 98, then kicked back up in mid 99 until 9-11. Again, you are the one confused. Not surprising Gramps! Are you close to 65? You're acting like it! Go take a nap....

Here's what you said, EXACTLY from YOUR QUOTE:

Fact. There were 117 hired between October 96 and December 1996. Now I know know you have your boyfriend believing that this [----------------] is six inches, but you're "facts," are wrong, again! Then, In January of 1997 there were 85 pilots hired. Still shy of your famous 100 per month you claim! Wrong again, junior!

You base your postings off, "I think." Stop claiming fact when you "think." You're working without the proper tools, dickhead!
You're a fraud! It's that simple!
Let's take another famous genital lee quote:

If you disagree with ANYTHING I have to say, then prove me wrong.

I've proven you wrong several times now. How about a nice big cup of STFU! You need it bad! And gramps? Hardly, at 48. But keep trying. Your insults are as dull as your facts, JUNIOR!

What? PROVEN ME WRONG SEVERAL TIMES? I said I was hired in 96, and there were 100 or more pilots hired behind me, starting in late October, but then they took Xmas off and slowed it down around then. I guess you worked Xmas, but I had a few days off. A late OCT class (almost NOV), then more in NOV, and not as many in Dec for the holidays, that is what I remember. Were you down at the training center watching people in the evac pool? I bet you were.

Wait, you're 48? Prove that. I think you are 63. This is an anonymous board, and you write like you are a cranky old man. I am pretty sure you are 63. Retire already...

I state "I think" because this is an anonymous board! You don't KNOW, especially YOU.

Look here old man, you need to go back to lurk mode. You are old and cranky, and need to move on. You thought you had a Sherlock Holmes moment, and you forgot that XMAS slowed everything down, and then afterwards, 100 per month, just as I stated. Again, I have proven you wrong. Good night old man.
