Will Skybus' callsign be "Shame Train?"

[Rook]

Shame train lyrics

People all over the world...join in...fly the Shame train...Shame train...(2X)

Alllll of you pilots, over at Pinnacle...
Tell all the folks at Eagle, and Piedmont too...
Don't you know its time to get your resume...
and join this startup, join this startup airline that's new....

Chorus (2X)

Staaaart all your trips out of the C-bus...
You won't believe all the places that you just flew...
You'll get to see the beauty that is the Quad cities...
You might see Lansing, Akron/Canton or Kalamazooooooo...

Why are we even talking about this dog and pony show? This dumb Skybus idea will be over before it starts.

Unfortunately, they've got enough financing to survive at least a couple of years. They aren't going to be a flash in the pan.

$160 Mil is going to take a while to burn through.

Thanks for showing your age dude. Skybus (AKA Shame Train) will bring pilot wage averages down. Perhaps you have a trust fund and just don't care....

These Captains don't mind flying advanced airplanes for peanuts - what does that say about our profession? $65K for a captain of an A319? Are you serious? The pilots who have signed on for this are fully aware of the implications for our profession - that's the problem. So, do you want to work hard your entire career and progress upwards to a PIC slot and then get $65K for your efforts? Really? Think about it...

instructordude...i will leave the bashing to the others for what you say, but i will comment on one thing i noticed.

Please don't be "that guy." You know, the one who loves himself so much that he has to take pictures of himself in an airplane and post them for everyone to see as his avatar...it's really GAY!!!!!

Ok, rant over...everyone continue about their day now...thank you.

$4 says he has a bumper sticker on his car saying "My other car is a JET!!"

I like the idea of referring to Skybus aircraft as "shame train" going forward. You can say, "I've got the Shame Train 319 in sight." That would work.

Motion seconded. All in favor say "Aye."

Nothing except thinking you're a hot shot pilot with food stamp wages.
