Not that any of the details matter at this point, but when you post something so stupid and easily verified it makes the rest of us think you're the village idiot. Either that or you're too lazy to get the facts and too arrogant to think you can come on here set us straight.

You were 11 years old during the summer of love. Don't tell those of us who were flying the line that year what happened. And don't tell us what was wrong with our airline. You don't have a clue.

Dude, wise up. You're so far out in left field that we need binoculars to see you.

James can't believe some of what he reads on this forum. While there used to be a certain amount of high school bravado and uninformed management wannabe's present, now we need to read from the Candyland crowd as well.

Lucky for the AA guy the Capt. was strolling up to the gate..You cant list OMC online. maybe mainline guys can... Also as a commuter, and a UAX pilot (XJT) I feel the pain with the boarding priorities. I am used to boarding after retirees,non-accompanied pass riders and anyone else other then offline folks.. It would be nice, since we provide lift for ua to have a little bit of priority when commuting to/from work. But that's the agreement our management teams put together for us.
So where do you see yourself fitting in? Priority for commuting to work?

yet I do not hear senior guys at AA complain. It is the most fair. It requires everyone to choice what they want to do 24 hours out. Not this changing plans/changing listings last second, or listing yourself and 10 kids 3 hours prior to departure because you have been here 30 years.

Its easy to plan and the most fair.

Glad to know you still have a sense of humor, most of you are in so much pain from your back pain after sitting on those fat wallets that you are dead as door knobs. You must be the 777 CA exception!

On an actual serious note, and not troll note, UAL guys the entire industry is hoping to god you get a grasp on scope. Please do.

What happens if I happen to be airborne at work 24 hours prior? Some United Express guy should get my seat just because he happened to be by the keyboard?

Quite frankly, I don't care what you think and what works best for you as a 23 year old Eagle FO. I don't even care what 30 year AMR Captains think. We are a seniority driven company in a seniority driven industry. And I'm not that senior!! What I find totally galling is getting bumped off a United Express RJ on a route that we used to fly by a 6 month FO. Why? Because my company bought the seats!! When the 49ers charter an airplane, should I be allowed on it as a non-rev? No, because they bought the jet from us for the day.

You are rather quick to sling the mud around here regarding who bought who because who's house was a mess and who caused what with the summer of love. For starters, your assessments have been mostly flat out wrong. For enders, I'd start worrying much more about what is going on at your own house. The poo is just starting to flow downhill at AMR. USAirways is knocking on the door, and THAT is going to be a total s-storm.

I was 23 at a regional once. Having the time of my life, and wondering what all the grouching was about. Back then we didn't have the internet to play around on, which is a good and bad thing. I didn't have a CLUE how much I didn't know, so I understand where you are coming from. A little unsolicited advice which you can choose to ignore if you want - it makes no difference to me. There are a TON of guys who have been through a LOT in this profession that have a wealth of knowledge that you can learn from. My advice? Less typing. More reading.

Who do you think he works for, SWA? Our 777 rates are a total joke. He is so underpaid it should be criminal.

As far as scope.... Again, less typing more reading.

I don't really think he's talking about the regional partner employee bumping a mainline employee on a mainline flight. As you said, L-UAL is a seniority driven company, AA is not as far as non-rev pass travel goes.

True, as part as during the BK goes, especially round two. But before that, come on man. I've read PLENTY of your posts where possibly more consideration should have been given when it came down to the vote. Either in the midterm ESOP/HJS/Heavy jets for RJ's, or on the big fat paycheck of 2000 for the relaxation.
