Hey, here at Wallmart we dont mind doing that, it saves a LOT of money and enhances shareholder value, which keeps our department strong.

We view it as team-building. No long post-flight debriefs in the FBO - we save it for when we are all in our jammies and comfy in bed!

Sorry it didn't work out, your extensive experience would have been an asset to us.

Read through some of the more popular posts here.....like most Fortune xx departments, we really see the value in Regional Airline pilots.

Flamebait

13000 hours and still flying an Embrear120 for ASA...... Boy you showed them! :rolleyes:

Being that you are unable to even spell Walmart correctly, it leads me to believe that in all likelihood you were turned down for a job there as a greeter when you last got furloughed. With your skills, they might be able to use you as a night stocker. A word of caution though; you will be drug tested.

Lastly, thanks for the flamebait. It never gets old listening to a flamer like you.:nuts:

Not talking about shareholder value, but sharing rooms.

regarding the winglet pic, found it on the web...can't tell what aircraft it is just from the pic..

YGTBSM!!!

I knew they did this years ago, but I thought they'd outgrown it by now!

The little 135 operator I used to fly for didn't even do that! I've just spent the past 6-8+ hours working with you (not you personally, in general), much of it sitting less than a foot away. I'll have a beer in the bar, go out to dinner, maybe watch a movie or do some sightseeing with you if it's a long enough layover. At some point, enough is enough! I also want the ability to have some time to myself for my sanity. If you're really depending on sharing a room for "team building," things are in pretty sad shape. Shareholder value? Do the execs share rooms too? Better yet, do they share rooms with the hired help? That would be closer to real team building.

Put down the the Cool-Aid, in the words of Slim Pickens, "I think you boys have had enough!"

Yes! - even the execs share rooms here at Wallmart!

Its really part of our corporate culture. I too was unsure at first but after a few week-long trips I really saw the value in staying together. We learned to function as a team, and also to support each other. I think this is an area where many flight crews lack.

It saves our department many thousands of dollars a month and that's the Wallmart Way! - shareholders we all are. If one cant wrap themselves around this idea, one may not fit in on our dynamic, happy team.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :laugh:
You are the funniest MF'er I know!!!!!!!! Now get back to work for a change and start adding to my shareholder value dammit!!!!
 
While I personally think Walmart is the Spawn of Satan, and I think their lowering of the bar with shared rooms is ridiculous, PLEASE watch the language as kids do read this forum and the advertisers don't like it when they see bad words. Thanks

But I can't believe I just read from Gulfstream 200 that he doesn't mind sharing rooms??

Company makes billions on the backs of the working stiffs and then this? /sign
 
Rice and I find it so funny because if you are on this board at all, then you know G-200 not only does not fly for Walmart, he would NEVER approve of such behavior!

He responded to a flamebait thread with the same, and he fell for it hook, line and sinker. The drag on the reel is now screaming and G-200 is sitting in the fighting chair with a cold one in his hand and a smile on his face!

Well played!

Even if it is true, that is very funny! What was your starting wage? They could have paid for their own rooms and made more than you did. :laugh:

Well then count me duped! ;-)

But to be honest, after I re-read his post I had a doubt in the back of my mind as I am certain even IF their pilots shared rooms, their executives certainly don't!

Actually, the pilots don't share rooms but executives do, according to a news report. I saw it on TV in an interview with the CEO.

After shotgunning resumes in every direction, I was called by Walmart within a month of my "surplus" status coming to a close at "T" (total joke that is). Anyway, I was on a shuttle flight from KSAT-KDAL-KSAT. I had 7 or so hours in DAL and the company gave me my own room at the Marriot. I had a brief phone interview by a nice gentleman who said they were filling a few positions. He mentioned pay (mid 50's to start) and guarenteed low 70's by year 3. Total fooking joke of a package for the caliber of pilot they were looking for, even in this environment.
Facing certain unemployment, I politely declined the interview.

Cheers- Rum

G200 continues to entertain on FI!!
 
Well everyone, if you shop at Wal-Mart, then you are guilty of lowering the bar. I personally don't shop there. Some family members gave us a gift card and I cringed at stepping in and buying a present for my boy.

If everyone shops there because its a little cheaper, then it puts pressure on other stores to copy their business model, and the bar gets lower for everyone--again which is why I don't shop there, even if it could save me a few bucks.

As far as sharing a room--if its true--I think is ridiculous. To be proud of sharing a room and listening to some other guy fart an snore all night is beyond me.

While we don't have a WalMart very close, I have NO problem shopping there for things that are far cheaper than other places. I certainly dont go out of my way to go there, as the experience is usually poor.

BUT...if it saves me money and time under one roof, that's all I care. More money saved on everyday crap means more in my savings or fun budget.

Mom and Pop stores can adapt, compete, or shut down...ironically none around me seem to be affected by Walmart, Target, etc. If I need something special or quality - I dont go to big box stores like Walmart as most of their stuff is JUNK....but I'm not supporting the little guy by paying more for toilet paper, toothpaste, diapers, or prescriptions.

Welfare didn't work for Detroit, and it never will in retail either.
 
Well I for one never shop there. In general when possible I also avoid made in china but that is getting harder and harder to do.

One reason not to shop at walmart: www.peopleofwalmart.com

Well, if you want to shop there, fine, that's capitalism. But when Wal-Mart shifts their healthcare plan costs on to my state, that's called socialism.

If you're not willing to pay for a higher standard, then don't complain about accepting a lower one: like sharing a room.

Wal-Mart isn't the only corporation chomping at the BIT to make that a reality...
