Yeager, Hoover etc..flying the line @ Comair

[N813CA]

This is so stupid. First of all Management put those signs up. I guess that is all I need to say. Believe it or not, it wasn't put up by the pilot union. Oh I am sorry some of you guys out there don't know what a union is.

It wouldn't be a big deal if you there wasn't this God's gift to aviation atitude. I have even seen a more than one of these "finest pilots" who in some alternate reality pretend like they are Notre Dame ("Play Like a Champion Today!" is their sign) and hit the sign everytime they are going to get into their fine CRJ for a little good luck. All that can be said is WOW!

I may be late on this but I nearly fainted from laughter as a friend confirmed the "writing on the wall" that sits outside the ComAir crew room--ON A PLAQUE--in CVG:

"THROUGH THESE DOORS WALK THE FINEST PILOTS IN THE WORLD"

Did I miss the point when Chuck Yeager and Bob Hoover were in newhire class together? How many WWII aces do you have over at Comair??? Any Apollo Astronauts in the ranks? Doolittle raiders?? National Aerobatic Champions?


Putting this outside the door of ANY regional airline is akin to putting the medical version outside a walk-in-clinic.
"THORUGH THESE DOORS WALK THE FINEST SURGEONS..."

What gives guys??

Part of being the "finest" aviator is realizing that you will never be the "best" aviator.

This is a complete fabrication, and bold-faced lie.

In over 7 years at Comair, I can honestly say this has never happened. (except before the strike when they were throwing things at it).
The signs (pilots and fa's) have been there for years, and them bing there was the decision of non-pilot management.

The truth just isn't exciting enough for there to be a thread, so I guess lies are the only way to gain attention.

How gay is it to have that sign in your crew room. I'd be embarassed to work there!

 

[skyslug]

Couldn't you guys come up with anything better to start a thread with? This is it? The best you could do?

You have enough things to be embarrassed about, don't you.

... Like flying a mainline airplane for MAC D rates... douche

 

[FlamingFUPA]

MAC D? is that the Scottish food chain?

A 70 seat jet is a mainline airplane? Whoops, better tell Comair, ASA, AWAC, Mesaba, PSA, Eagle, Horizon, etc that they are flying a mainline airplane. Better yet, tell the mainline MECs that allowed that flying to be outsourced!

The "E170 is a mainline airplane" is an old and busted argument.

You should be embarassed(ashamed, disgusted) for flying a jet for $22-1st yr or $29-2nd yr an hour.

Not as embarassed as the rest of us are having you ponce around and play airline pilot for a monkey's paycheck. PEANUTS

That comment coming from a Flight Attendant? HAHA!! I enjoy the irony that Mr. Guppy provides. Now get me some coffee!!

Oh wait, so Comairs $23/hr for for both the 50 and 70 first year is something to be proud of??

SOME of you guys really do have this holier than thou attitude...and the pay argument has been getting old for 3 years now.

The funny thing is some of you had no clue Management put that sign up and thought it was erected by your union/pilot group because you truly are the finest. How pathetic!

Dude... What do you think Continental pays their first year FOs??

Sounds to me like you got turned down by CMR and you're the one who thinks he's holier than thou...

He's just smart enough to know that anyone with common sense wouldn't want to sit on reserve for 2 years and in the right seat for 10 years at a regional. Especially one that will most likely be sold to Mesa.

How can a sign cause so much controversy. It is nothing but company pride. If you can't figure that out then you need help.

There rarely seems to be any real controversy here; it's just people pretending to hate each other to get a rise out of someone else.

Flightinfo regional forum: the world's leading site for pilot mental masturbation, insult-slinging, and once in a while, amusing flame-bait.

So, show me the love: Who hates me?

Traumahawk: please get laid buddy
Chperplt: change your avatar, it's starting to worry me
Standaman: what is that?
