United - Profit!

[Uppercrust]

LMAO!! sorry to dissapoint you 32, but I never told anyone who I fly for, I'll just let you keep guessing. But I see any airline that puts a hurtin on old YO nited (which is ANY airline)is a POS in your eyes. When I talk with scabs like you its often the above rhetoric I hear. i know, you crossed the line because of this and that....All scabs say the same, and they all have the same thing in common...They are a worthless POS like yourself!
I see that you fly the 744, nice to know you are flying for less than 737 wages....Thanks for bringing our wages down!


Make sure this mail in bride doesn't leave you at the alter! Keep flying those heavies at narrow body pay rates.

That is alright. good ol'Walmart with wings is the competition and we must all adapt......

Walmart with wings? I didn't know Wal-mart management treated their employees so well...like wiping out millions$$ in employee pensions while their bosses leap out the window with their golden parachutes.

I understand you being ashamed of flying for a no name airline like Valujettran. I would not admit it either. In fact I bet you get tired of having to explain to people who you actually fly for.

As for retirement I appreciate your concern. But just so you don't have to worry. I have a 6 digit B-plan that is edging toward 7 with a little 200K being paid to me in the next couple of weeks. Combined with previous investments I think retirement is going to be ok. Speaking of defined plans, how much does Valujettran pay in DB's? Yep, the same amount I suppose.

Again, I understand you not wanting to admit you fly at that airline. With Forlift Joe and all the other questionable charachters working there you must have to pass a stingent test to make the cut. I won't ask if you don't tell.

You are a shame to all United pilots.

Please read Bosley's comments regarding my company. I am only defending MY company and our future. If someone from Valujettran wishes to trash my company they better be willing to accept similar in return. Just like one of the original post in this thread said, this is just good rivalry. With the case of Valujettran it is a fun battle. A company that has been shuttered by the Feds for impropriety and various violations with a history in the dark corners of aviation claiming greatness is laughable at best. A company that was founded on the use of EAL scabs and scab labor with Pay for Training for its pilots.

There are so many good Valujet jokes, but I am afraid poor old bosley would not be able to handle them. He knows them just does not want to hear them.

 

[DH2WN]

If you have a problem with one dude then fine but don't go pissin all over the company just because you don't get along with someone on a message board. But if you really think UAL is a "nuisance to the industry" FU. Oh, and good luck of course. I like SWA although I've never worked for them. I know one person doesn't represent the attitude of a whole company but seriously, a lot of SWA guys on this board seem to be di*kheads. Too many of you guys love to talk sh*t about other company's and throw your success in everyones face. I'm happy for you guys. You're lucky you were hired by a company that hasn't had the hardships that most companys in the industry have had.
But, you a-holes don't have to go pissing on everyone else to show love for your own company.

Of the many years I was unfortunate to work with UAL people I met maybe 2 who weren't complete and udder jack asses. Treating Express people like annoyances. Uh, hello we were carrying UAL passengers. No wonder you failed.

Karma. You pissed on us and got it back in your face.

See you back in IAD at Indy's former gates. Ahhhh, sweet revenge on UAL scum.

I've noticed that far too many former DH employees had a persecution complex toward the 'ol lazy U's employees. I never saw ACA's employees treated differently by UAL employees; too many of you suffered from little man complexes.

So you'll be back in IAD's A gates? Cool. Which United Express flight will you be on?

"I wonder how many TWA pilots are at AA after the merger? "

Again I ask, why do you put this at the end of your postings?

I flew for TWA for many years.

You know what they say, if you can't figure out who the A-hole is in the first five minutes....IT"S probably YOU.
Ever wonder if YOU were the "udder jack ass"?

Man do you have a SERIOUS CHIP on that little shoulder of yours, get over it.
Would you care to share with us some examples of how EVERYONE except two employee's at UAL put you down?
Or is simply because of your transparent inferiority complex.....You know they have a twelve step program you can enroll in now that will help you out with that little problem of yours you know.

BTW...."We" failed, including you as our express "partner" but what did you care... right? You got your fee for departure .....You got paid regardless of the level of service you provided....As long as you took off.
But hey blame it all your woe's on those mainline guy's out to crap on you at every opportunity. Heck that's all we talk about in the cockpit, how to annoy our express partners.......In your world only, putz

fellow annoyer

LOL!

Reminds me of the USAirways Express pilot who was trying to jumpseat with us during the UAL/U 'merger.' He was worried that the Captain was going to deny him the jumpseat because he was associated with USAirways. I told that it didn't matter if he was U express or mainline; he'd get a ride.
I also remember nonreving ORD-DCA (as a furloughee) when UAL's computers went down; CSRs couldn't check the database to see if jumpseaters were on the list and couldn't print out jumpseat passes. There was an Indy Air pilot trying to get back to DC; I told him that I was a furloughee and I'd talk to the Captain to see what he could do. I went up to the cockpit explained the problem, and sure enough he got a seat with us in F. I don't know if he thanked the CSR or Captain, but he didn't thank me for helping grease the skids to get him on the flight. Was I hurt or offended by his lack of acknowledgement? No. Do I consider all former Indy air crews rude? No.

I'm still trying to figure out DH2WN's karma reference; DH went ch 7 and the lazy U's still here with ownership of DH's old A gates.

HA!! HA!!! Little man complexes? Whatever... If you think UAL employees aren't the laziest people in the industry then you need to jumpseat offline and see the real world that has put your feeble airline in it's place.

I cannot count how many times in DTW there were 15-20 mechanics sitting around picking their noses instead of marshalling us out like they were overpaid to do. Sometimes we waited 30 minutes so they can walk 8 feet and wave us off. Or the UAL ramp in PIT who would never put the carryons on the plane then would bitch when we did it ourselves because it's, "For the Union, man!!" Yep, great airline you have there.

Don't worry the government may lift the minimum wage level so you just might get a raise.

I LUV it when you UAL guys prove my point for me with your udder lack of understanding. LUV IT!!!

Imagine we actually cared about doing a good job for our passengers. Crazy isn't it. I know that is a stretch for you because you are still wondering if you make more than the Delta guys. But try real hard to imagine that you would want to do a good job. Close your eyes and do your best to imagine . Getting through to you? Probably not.

Sure makes the loss of pensions, wages, and QOL all seem so clear.

 

[D-Bo]

I'll make sure to wave to you in my red bellied UAL killer as we push you out of IAD and DEN.

I bet you said that exact same thing while at your last employer. Get over your fantasy of a world without UAL. You couldn't even kill AWA out of PHX and you've had a decade to do it and now you think the flights out of IAD and DEN are going to kill UAL? DF! I'm not saying that UAL can't go away but if they ever did, it da*n sure wouldn't be because of SWA flights out of those two places. Better set your sights on Frontier out of DEN and I don't even know if you'd succeed at that. I guess you can't just be satisfied with making money as long as UAL is around. Keep on hating us for the rest of your career. I certainly don't hate SWA.

 

[D-Bo]

Hey DH2WN,

I guess I quoted your UAL killer comment before you went back and edited it out on post #73. Why the change of heart?

 

[DH2WN]

Get over your fantasy of a world without UAL.

Yeah, as long as we have a government that flips the bill for loser companies I'll have to live with it.

 

[DH2WN]

Hey DH2WN,

I guess I quoted your UAL killer comment before you went back and edited it out on post #73. Why the change of hart?

Yep. Thanks for sticking it back in.

 

[D-Bo]

I even went back to spell heart correctly. So , why do you really hate UAL so much?

 

[D-Bo]

Yep. Thanks for sticking it back in.

Hope you don't say that to all the guys. You can go back to hating UAL now.

I'm amazed at how you got thru the interview process at SWA's. You obviously know how to hide your venom and true personality during an interview.
Wishing some one's job away speaks volumes on your apparent lack of professionalism and character.

Enjoy your career at SWA, it's a great company with an abundance of good folks, sadly you are not one of them.

Sonny, I've jumpseated on many different carriers. My favorite was TWA. Prior to being hired at United, I'd either try for TWA or United, because they treated me great. I found myself treated worse as a jumpseater at United AFTER I was hired there; still OK, but not as well as when I flew for another company.
I've never had any problems jumpseating on any other carrier, but some (AMR stands out) would send me back to coach when there were open seats in First. Not always, but enough for me to avoid them. And while they were usually friendly, I avoided LUV like the plague; only when they were my last option would I take them, but I'm not real big on cattle cars.

As for DTW, that's not a hub city for UAL, so the pushback mechanics were likely contract workers.

I must say that it looks like WN's interview process is letting a few too many dirtbags on property; between you, SWA/FO, and a few others, I'd say that WN needs to review the process.

[SWA/FO]

I must say that it looks like WN's interview process is letting a few too many dirtbags on property; between you, SWA/FO, and a few others, I'd say that WN needs to review the process.

Why you bring me into this? I love UAL. I hope UAL does well. I really don't care to much for Southwest Airlines.... all they do is pay my wages. I hope UAL does better then SWA, God knows they need all the help they can get, cus they have sucked for years.

The process at Southwest involves at least 1000 hours of PIC. A lot of folks hired at UAL in the late 90's didn't meet this requirement. I have a friend at UAL that has been there 10 years..... he doesn't even qualify to apply here at Southwest now. So that old question: Do you have what it takes to be a United Pilot? - makes me laugh.

You guys are victims of your own managemant, bad timing and WEAK union (I'm not claiming SWAPA is any better). Probably more of management and timing. Southwest is Southwest... our clients are still the same, last minute, vacation types. All your first class folks ran over to Flexjet/NetJets... my God they have over 500 airplanes at NetJets. Why don't you give them $hit? Nobody has figured this out, except the SWA/FO.

I remember how the UAL guys treated me when I was on the outside looking in. I have never treated anybody like that. Calling me a dirtbag, from a UAL stand point... that sounds good to me. I'd rather be a SWA dirtbag then a pilot for UAL, anyday. This is something I caught onto in the late 90's thankgod.

 

[Bosley]

I understand you being ashamed of flying for a no name airline like Valujettran. I would not admit it either. In fact I bet you get tired of having to explain to people who you actually fly for.

Sorry to dissapoint you madam 32, but I am not an Air Tran pilot! I do know several good folks working over there, and as far as "they're concerned," UAL is a laughing stock of the industry! I would be jealous too if I was making less than a 737 pilot flying a 747

As for retirement I appreciate your concern. But just so you don't have to worry. I have a 6 digit B-plan that is edging toward 7 with a little 200K being paid to me in the next couple of weeks. Combined with previous investments I think retirement is going to be ok. Speaking of defined plans, how much does Valujettran pay in DB's? Yep, the same amount I suppose.

Again, I don't know what Air Tran pays in DB's. I don't work there

Again, I understand you not wanting to admit you fly at that airline. With Forlift Joe and all the other questionable charachters working there you must have to pass a stingent test to make the cut. I won't ask if you don't tell.

And Goodwin has done such wonders huh? How about Wolfe? You crack me up! Keep taking your cheap shots. Its attitudes like your that is making the demise of your pathetic EEOC POS airline!
It just kills you that airlines can make money while yo nited can't. Not a bad job though, first profit for unicef inc. in 7 years. Who hoo! You girls rock! Hey 32, its ok, when UAL goes out of business, we'll see if we can get you a job driving the lav truck!

 

[Bosley]

Please read Bosley's comments regarding my company. I am only defending MY company and our future.

Is that what you call it when you attack the nice folks at Jet Blue and try to degrade their airline? Oh yeah, its just good rivalry. That's why for the last 5 years they have made money while Yo Nited has lost $$. Keep giving back concessions so your pathetic management team can collect their bonuses. If you keep working for your pathetic wages, nobody will ever be able to get a raise! Unicef Airlines, lowering the bar, one concession at a time!

If someone from Valujettran wishes to trash my company they better be willing to accept similar in return. Just like one of the original post in this thread said, this is just good rivalry. With the case of Valujettran it is a fun battle. A company that has been shuttered by the Feds for impropriety and various violations with a history in the dark corners of aviation claiming greatness is laughable at best. A company that was founded on the use of EAL scabs and scab labor with Pay for Training for its pilots.

And a company that today, has less scabs flying for it than "Yo Nited." I figured it out that you are one of them. Either that or a 300 hour wonder intern hired because of his daddy's pull!
How about those minimums to get hired at unicef inc? 300 hours, and a pulse. no wonder your company has had the privilege of hiring so many gifted aviators such as yourself! Lemme guess, you got hired with a shade over 500 hours! You are a pathetic ass!

There are so many good Valujet jokes, but I am afraid poor old bosley would not be able to handle them. He knows them just does not want to hear them.

Joke away intern boy! i don't work for Air Tran. But I guarentee, there aren't nearly as many as Unicef/Yo nited inc!

It's 1300 now my brother!

I wouldn't use a message board to base my overall opinion of a pilot group at any airline. I would however use the Terminal as a gauge, and prior to working at Southwest I noticed that they were one of the only pilot groups where the pilots would say hi or nod as you walked by. Even now it is sad how some other airline pilots don't acknowledge another pilot, and that is without any preconceived feelings. Pretty sad bunch of fellow pilots out there.
