US Airways Calls

[Roomwithaview]

unless

everyone puts him on their ignore list the pain will continue. which tells me tons of posters like to fight with general lee. which brings up a question whatever happened to on your six??

 

[General Lee]

That's it...I can't take it. General, shut up! This is F'ing ridiculous. I hesitated for the longest time about chiming in with a post unrelated to US Airways calls, but in all reality I am very tuned to THIS very thread because it directly affects me, so I felt the need to say something OFF topic so that we could get back ON topic. PBR, this isn't really focused at you...I don't think you're an annoyance to this forum by any means, and I'm sorry to see you get tangled up in a word war with the General. GL on the other hand...there is no telling how many participants of this website are annoyed by you on a regular basis, and the worst part is you continue to laugh off our frustration, turn your nose up to us and belittle anyone that isn't as "educated" or obsessed with airline transactions, mergers, contracts or unions as your are. I don't care if you you're unemployed, employed, living in a basement, or flying for Delta as it has been rumored. With that said, as the proud son of a very successful Delta Captain/LCA/Instructor-Retired, I hope to God above that you're not filling the same flight deck that he once did with your know-it-all attitude! Now you may reply and claim that you do not in fact know it all...but your 17,000+ posts says otherwise.
And so my problem here (along with others I'm sure) is this: You simply cannot resist butting into a thread of any kind, regardless of its RELEVANCE to you, your job, your airline, your ANYTHING. You see a topic and say to yourself "I"m gonna put my 2 cents worth into this," even after we beg and plead for you to take it somewhere else. Its really quite simple to illustrate the point here, and it goes like this:

Genny, are you employed by any other airline (even Delta)?
If yes, get out of this thread.

If you are unemployed and searching for an airline, do you have an app in with Airways? If no, get out of this thread.

If you have no interest in actually applying with, interviewing, and flying for US Airways /American, then get out of this thread.

...Which would also mean there is absolutely NO reason your phone will ever ring with an employee from US Airways on the other end, so shut up about anything related to a thread called US AIRWAYS CALLS!!!!!!

Me personally...I AM quietly and patiently waiting for a call. I've hit this company with everything I've got and have good people on this inside going to bat for me as we speak. I have reason to believe that I'm so close to getting a call, my heart stops every time my cellphone rings. So yes, this thread means a great deal to me, and it'd be nice if we could read it without hearing YOUR take on the Easties vs. Westies and USAPA and any other sh** Airways related that you have absolutely no involvement with of any kind!
Thats it I'm done. before I throw my laptop.

First of all, great meltdown. I hope you don't spaz like this in a cockpit or any future interviews. You have to look at your options and act on them. You always have the IGNORE function, and I don't mind at all you using it for my posts. If you don't want to see the light, then fine.

I actually think getting on at USAir right now, before the merger and expected huge retirement numbers is a great idea. Hopefully the East and West will get get the SLI straight using the NIC award, and then an eventual SLI with AA will lead to a great career. Hiring on early at any legacy will do wonders for QOL and eventual upgrades, etc.

So, throw me on ignore, and move on with your life. Just tone it down a bit and stay calm during any interview and during probation. Your above post shows you can fly off the handle. This is an anonymous web board, don't freak out too much! Good luck.


Bye Bye---General Lee

Seriously, I added him to my ignore list about 2 weeks ago. He adds nothing of value and my experience here has been improved. As they say on other forums IL+1

It is becoming very obvious to most on FI that the General is damaged goods. For the life of me I can not understand why anybody engages with him (Myself included). I think PBR may actually have hit the nail on the head. I am starting to believe he is one of Gods "SPECIAL PEOPLE". If that's the case then General I am truly sorry for your lot in life. I would respectively submit that you might want to get some help. I try my best to be an open minded person, I figure that all sides of a discussion should be heard. I don't have to agree with what is said but it is still in my best interest to hear differing opinions. In the past I have read the General's post with that philosophy in mind. You would think with 17k+ post there would be something useful in there. Well evidently I may need to ride the short bus as well because I have just now figured out that some peoples opinions are truly irrelevant. It only took me six years to figure it out but that irrelevant person is you General. Congratulations you are the first and only member of FI to make my ignore list.

No, it sounds like you're an Eastie who doesn't want the NIC award to happen, and wants to keep brushing it under the table. Look, everyone knows what happened, and everyone knows what integrity is. You guys blew it. Correct it by accepting what happened, and move on with the next SLI, which will be closely watched by the APA. Talk about defensive, you guys attack and call people "special" when you can't debate the issues. PBR knows he can't leave his shrinking regional, and you guys can't escape the Nic award. Quit slamming, and accept your fate. Bye!

Damaged goods? GL is spot on most of the time. I find him insightful and even entertaining at times. Nobody seems to know more about Delta than GL (and he has opinions about all airlines ). But he can also be a bit harsh and direct - so, it does not surprise me that people react negatively.

But hey - this is an internet chat board - so who really cares? You guys take things waaaaaaay too seriously on these boards. Who really cares what GL says? Are you gonna cry when he says something you disagree with? So, you don't have the discipline to turn off your computer or look at another thread? This is an anonymous chat board full of opinions and a few facts, so people should take it all with a big grain of salt...

I did find OState's meltdown hilarious though - give me a break! Go get a beer and chill out and quit acting like a complete crybaby (especially before your interviews). I like the line, "before I throw my laptop." Seriously??? OState sounds like my 15 year old son...:crying::crying::laugh:

Let's hope USAirways does not ask him any stressful questions - like are you morally ok with stepping on the legally-binding rights of employees who saved your own airline?

 

[Holy Shiite]

Glad to see more folks are figuring out that private lee is a message board terrorist. Obviously he is not an Airline Pilot and probably a scumbag lawyer that posts thousands upon thousands of posts from his cubicle. He seems to have quite a good handle on legal issues, much more so than any Pilot I have ever flown with....... This guy is a poser with an anti-pilot agenda trying to create dissention among the Pilot groups. Why FI has not banned this parasite is a mystery........

Now back to Airways, are they going to relax the ground school within 5 year rule? HS

Well Heavy, nice to see you backing up and supporting Private Lee's arguement?
Alter ego???? HS

You should have said something earlier... Ya know like if you have a dam, you have to let the water trickle out before it all breaks. :lol:

yeah, me too. He is a nice guy and gives great advice. Also take a look at what he is saying-yes its heavily slanted towards Delta-but he is a Delta Employee and Delta treats their employees pretty well. He is a person who knows the industry and does his research on his posts so open your eyes and think about what he types.

Hey all Airways folks, any MSP commuters out there? I just got hired and am wondering what is the best A/C or Base for a pilot who lives in MSP. Thanks for the help, OTC

 

[LaGarbage Man]

Well it looks like the CLT offers the best commute option. 4 flights a day on mainline and they are all Airbus ( 2 319's, a 320 and a 321) PHL has 4 flts also but 3 are mainline E190 and 1 Bus. DCA only has 3 flts a day and all are Republic 175's. As for the equipment to choose from. That's a matter of personal choice. Movement will still probably be faster on the 190 but you are stuck with PHL for the commute. If it was me I would try to go Bus in CLT but if all you got is PHL then 190 so at least you may get a better sched and operate a few MSP overnights. I don't think you want anything to do with DCA if you get a choice. Just my 2 cents. Welcome aboard and best of luck with the commute. My wife and I use to live down in Egan in a past life.

Go to CLT and bid the 737 (the only place you'll be able to get on it) - get the type and some time in it - once it is gone it's gone (AMR merger not taken into account).

By the end of the year we will be down to less than 20 -400's (300's were gone back in oct/nov 2012) and are being replaced by A321s. We have 32 737's right now. You will be bumped then take the 320 in either clt, phl or dca or the 190 in phl.

 

[PBRstreetgang]

Wait, people want to go to Twin Falls to visit? Why? Not to see you and Uncle Steve cohabitate. The problem here is your insane jealousy in not making it out of your Regional. You got 3 DUIs or no college, or something that binds you to your current shrinking airline. You can see it happening, your once booming industry is now shrinking due to high oil costs and people just figuring out that the majority of your fleet, the 50 seaters, are just uncomfortable. Soon, they will be gone, and mainline 717s will push other RJs away and force them to compete with your airline for any feed, which lowers your bargaining power.

To top it off, you are lonely like Ted Kasinski, but atleast you have Steve. Good for you guys. Maybe Weasel Lips can join you guys for a drink sometime.

Ahhhaaa,
Success, the Genny's had a meltdown! I guess I gothim/it to use all of his medication. Did your mom go to Walmart and get you a new script? The really funny stuff is when you melt down and rant, that tells more about your personality and its subsequent defects. You are no closer to being an airline pilot than John Travolta is, you have to fly the line and actually be qualified on something besides a Dell computer and MS flt sim. So the truth is, while your mom and Uncle Steve are making the 2 headed beast, you read his DAL newsletter and scan the Internet for supporting info, which you regurgitate back on to this board. News flash, your Social Security disability check, may buy you a new keyboard and lots of jelly beans it really isn't the same as being a pilot and actually flying the line.
There have been multiple requests for some supporting evidence to prove the claim that you are really a verifiable DAL pilot, like posting something from a crew room, but you repeatedly fail to provide anything except vitriol and vile at the requested poster.
You hurl your rants at me because I have uncovered your secret, and based on more than a few years reading said rants and lunatic raving, call you out. You could easily ignore me as you suggest others do to you, but the simple truth is you can't. You are a pathetic basement bound goober, that barely writes at the high school level, but that coupled with your keyboard rage illustrates just who you really are.
Do you really hate the people of Twin Falls as much as you profess? Oddly enough, I actually feel sorry for you, your life must be really sad, if you feel the need to pretend to be a pilot for DAL.
You are outed!

Debating issues? Your true damage level continues to be exposed!

Ask him to get you an interview, or better yet a referral!
Let us know how that works.

 

[LaGarbage Man]

I was enjoying my short lived time away from the General until you quoted him PBR. Oh well I will survive. As for you General, for someone who is so proud of their perceived ability to research and debate the facts you have failed miserably. I guess I should not be surprised that you go to your usual script of insults. A little bit of fact checking would have prevented you from proving that you don't know as much as you think. I have proven in the past that I will engage in discussion with people who are relevant. I have engaged with folks who I do not agree with but I still found what they had to say relevant. You are not relevant to anything that concerns me. You have your fans, Hey good for you fella but after 6 years I have had my fill of you. Like I said "Welcome to my ignore list" Sorry it is only a list of one so you may get a little lonely. Of course if you want to fire up a few new alter ego's I will be happy to add them to the list.

 

[xjhawk]

I dont want to go to Delta. I want to go to US Airways. I will not get involved in your squabbles.
