Virgin

[Ralph Cramden]

Did any of you VX guys pad your paycheck with open time while your fellow pilots were furloughed?

We've never furloughed. We are hiring right now. How's things at your company?

 

[Ralph Cramden]

That's about what I would expect from a VXer. The idea that the only thing a woman is good for is a layover romp. How Bransonesque.

Perhaps I just appreciate them for their performance in the airplane. Did you ever consider that?

Guess not...

Wow, that's quite an inference on your part. Try again.

Dude....relax...that was pointed at FUBI and Alaska....read between the lines and try not to be such a yank.

Hey Fubi why are you always on this board if you do not want to go to Virgin and you are not a virgin pilot? I do think its jealousy....wait its like the kid who punches a girl and makes fun of her and says he hates her but secretly has a crush on her-but in reality does not have a chance at dating her? SO what you are saying is that a Virgin pilot would not have a chance at being hired anywhere else? Oh wait, airlines like Delta were hiring guys with little or no PIC because it is HR now days that make most of the hiring decisions at companies. Not some bitter pilot who does not know how to treat other kids on the playground. Why dont you go back to your own boards....where is that anyways?

Oh any virgin pilots on here know where your Jr base is?

SFO and LAX

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Now that's funny! I guess if you're a 6000 hr. Saab CA, Virgin looks good. Fly an A320 for the same money.

Now that's smart.

I have looked at the pay rates and you are wrong on everything you say. like I asked...why are you here? get a life. I am a crj captain and after 3 years I would have a better QOL and pay than I have now-and at a company which is a lot better than Pinnacle. Second year pay at VX is better than Saab Captain pay but unless you are talking UPS/SWA/FedEx everwhere has bad first year pay. like I said, get a life. Oh and unless you know what has happened with our merger here at Mesaba-how a group of us lost 1/2 or more of our seniority and all of our QOL and career expectations-shut up and do not tell me what is best for me.

Fubi reminds me of Cliff Claven from "Cheers" - in his own mind he knows everything and feels it his obligation to share. Sadly, just like Cliff, while he thinks he is sounding smart and being taken seriously, everyone else is laughing and thinking to themselves "what a bafoon".

Hey, Ace, an insult is more effective if you spell the insult word correctly!
(Unless, of course, you were clever enough to make a hybrid insult, combining baboon and buffoon.) :smash:
On second thought................ :laugh:

Yep, misspelled on my part. Of course I don't spend a whole lot of time perfecting my spelling of insults. Perhaps if my goal in life was to earn the respect of morons on FI I'd spend more time on perfecting my spelling of little used insult words.

Of course you know that the criticizing of spelling is the last resort of the feeble minded because they lack the mental capacity to criticize on the merits of the statement.

Awww, NOW you've gone and hurt my feelings....:bawling:

Post reported and copied just in case you realize how classless and out of line you are and decide to delete it.

I could ask if you refer to your mother, wife, girlfriend, sister or daughters that way, but I think I know the answer.

lol!!!

Seriously,

Just ignore them. Everytime you respond to fubi and the rest you just make it harder for people looking for real, factual information about Virgin to dig through all of the B.S. If they want to be children let them start there own thread for that purpose. Stay off the ones where people are just trying to be educated. And no false slander and claims of making the pariah list is not real or helpful.

False? Just watch in the terminal for a bit and see how many people avoid the black shirts like the plague.

Well that is sort of the point of responding, to correct the false information being spread. For example some claim that most of the guys going to Virgin are RJ drivers looking for a career shortcut and quick upgrade. The fact is the majority of the pilots hired by Virgin are former ATA, Aloha, Midwest, TWA, DHL, Abex, Netjets, USAirways/America West, USA3000 pilots. We have guys still on furlough from AA and United. Claiming that they are guys just looking for quick upgrades and career short cuts is a totally inaccurate, classless and insulting accusation to guys who have dedicated much of their career to well respected airlines.

Another inaccurate statement - that we are avoided like the plaque by other pilots. Seems to me every time I fly a SEA-SFO, SFO-SAN, LAX-SEA leg we have multiple jumpseaters from America, United and Delta trying to catch a ride on us and telling us how much they love us. I ride American, USAirways, Southwest and Continental on a quite regular basis and am well treated on all of them. Other Virgin guys report great treatment as well.

In other words FI has a lot of morons, who due to their own feelings of inadequacy, feel it necessary to spread false information in a vain attempt to improve their self esteem. If a person is searching for accurate information, then someone needs to be here to speak the truth.
