[QUOTE=Skyward;2649706]Say you own a Ferrari and every time you leave the house to go for a drive you announce, I’m taking my Ferrari for a drive instead of simply saying I’m taking the car for a ride. Using “the jet” vs the aircraft or the plane is pompous.

Except the top payrate at United is $338/hour (777,787,767-400). Not to mention 757-300 and 767-300 pay $282/hour. And the junior pilot flying a 787 is about 3,000 on the UAL list and the junior 756 Captain about 8,000.
Also that $264 currently at United is close to being our “old payrates” since we are in Section 6 negotiations right now. Would not be surprised to see $300/hour Airbus Captains in the new contract.

What relevance does this have? Sorry but what are YOUR pay rates and overrides? Who cares what bigger or different equipment other people fly? What do you have and what did YOU negotiate to fly there? That’s all that matters. Oh, and how are your ticket sales and cargo both ways? Pretty sure all the equipment you mentioned are all larger and already have those networks established.

Oh good lord..... seriously? THIS??!! This is a discussion worth having? I could care less... honestly. As far as I’m concerned you can say.... “I have the Poptart.” Or ... “my thingamajig...” whatever.
Bigger fish to fry. Priorities.

Saying "the jet" is the equivalent of saying "the car" in terms of meaning. It's like saying "the car" or "the truck" if you have one of each vs saying "the automobile." Your analogy didn't mean what you thought it meant...

let me shed some light on this moronic conversation. It is a history lesson for you wounded children. At Alaska “The Jet”is a term coined by the people of the small towns and villages across Alaska. ie.. Has the Jet landed yet or are you taking the Jet to town or the Jet didnt make it in or a hundred other examples used daily. Picked up by pilots and fa’s and used in daily conversations. Of course the term found its way into the training department 30 years ago and has been handed down unintentionally over the years. The SEA base with and excess of tool bags(as one might expect) seems to over-use the term. the end
