Interesting is that we've asked him that a few times and he won't answer.

I do think life is too short to be that miserable though. Good for him for taking the leave and looking for something else. Hopefully he'll keep us posted on the job search....I'd like to know what he comes up with.

 

ROTFLMAO! I remember that.

 

While sitting in the dentist's chair the other day, there on the wall was a large plaque with 50 or so very clever statements. Stuff like "don't forget to call your mother on Mothers Day" and "drink champagne for no special reason" as well as "feed someone else's parking meter." And right there in the middle of all these sayings was this one "Avoid Negative People". Each and every saying made sense, especially the last one I listed. In this profession, I'd prefer guys who are psychologically "under the weather" to just call in sick. If a pilot can't remain positive, they can't in my opinion, do a professional job. If that's the case, they should either get their head on right, or leave the profession to those of us who, under the same or similar strains, can still focus on getting the job done. Just my opinion.

They would if you brought them some водка...

PS. I've actually flown on Aeroflot both in their pre- and post-communist days and today it's a pretty nice outfit... Still like to make fun of them though...

 

I agree 100%

 

Perhaps a short musical interlude to sooth those frayed nerves? Just remember, I'm smart enough, I'm good enough and gosh darn it,people just like me!

Yeah, I remember Freightpuppy before the sex change operation, or as he called it - "the permanent deferral of unwanted body parts"...

At the time he went by 'FreightDaddy' and believe me when I say he was was some short, or vertically challenged, ugly dude...

I won't even mention his man-boobs... ooops, I just did...

Anyways, fortunately he cleaned up very nicely when he got in touch with his feminine side!

 

he's not going anywhere.

 

What a great song...while Keith Richards may look like an 85 yr old career alcoholic/heroin addict, he can sure lay down a riff. Thank you for that Jungle. Awesome choice!

Now back to our regularly scheduled program featuring Debbie Downer's commentary on why UPS sucks a fat man's a$$.

 

While I may not agree with his point of view on this job, UPSMISTAKE is correct on several fronts. Yes, UPS is chipping away at our contract and yes, this has not turned out to be the job they promised during the interview process and basic indoc. I for one wish him well in his job search. If and when he does leave UPS, I hope he tells them exactly why this job isn't what they promised. Will they care? Maybe not but hopefully someone will take notice. While the economy has shredded many jobs in this industry, our benevolent employer has contributed to the disruption of careers as well.
