USAirways..is this for real??!

Bradford is the Same D-Bag that is telling everybody, "remember, we're in negotiations...be good UNION pilots"

He told them to waste gas, they did, and now they got busted. He's an incompetent fool and so is anyone who follows his advice.

Becket,

I would really like to know where you get your information about what Bradford is telling everyone to do. You should put up or shutup because you sound like you and Susie are talking out of you A$$. If you don't work for the west or east you should keep your mouth SHUT.

This is misleading (sigh). They're being "singled out" for running the apu across the atlantic, taxiing on all engines, etc.

This is not about planning, its about blatantly wasting gas so they can show the company who's boss.

USAPA is spinning this, just as ALPA would've, to be about Captain's authority. In reality they are operating the plane in direct violation of company policy. The worst part is that they are only helping put fellow pilots, east and west, on the street by wasting thousands of dollars in fuel.

USAPA will defend them, and they should, but they should also tell them to knock it off as well.

So.......

its 95 degree's outside. You are waiting in line in Charlotte or Phoenix.....

You are saying No to turning on the APU and helping keep your passengers stay comfortable?????

No I believe he said "for running the apu across the atlantic,"

 

[Tejas-Jet]

In other *(unrelated?) news, Bradford says we are in "full negotiation mode". Read: Burn lots of fuel and show the company what could happen if they don't play ball.

Coincidence? You be the judge.

Could you please post where that exact quote and "meaning" came from?

not that I don't trust you...but this is FI.com after all.

If there were pilots running the APU across the Atlantic, the company would have known that immediately. The airbus have a real time live data link to occ and mtc. The airplane doesn't lie.

The airplane doesn't lie.

Ha! You've obviously never watched it do a profile descent.
