What's your point? I mean, you probably just made the one statement that everyone agrees with. But, you gotta know the history of the thing ... In 1069, Lord Carolus Magnus, having just been defeated by Cossacks in the Battle of the Third Punic War, called his military councilors to discuss new military strategies and doctrine. After thirty hours of heated deliberation and enthusiastic discussion, the council started to get sidetracked, talking about boobs and poon and other topics which had no place in a professional military context. Fearing that letting this go on any longer would have the council completely out of control, the Lord's senior executive officer, Baron Manfred von Richthofen, summoned the butler who delivered four and twenty flagons of beer. An hour later, the council (who were Irish) was back on topic, with all members inebriated, shouting, passing out at the table, and there was much grab-ass, and it was good. As the clock struck midnight, Richthofen, himself subjected to the intoxicating beer, thought it a good idea to strap-on a cape and leap from the tower of the castle into a snowbank. They found him the next day, still intoxicated, lying in a ditch, uniform stained with his own vomit, and thus the fighter pilot was born. In honor of this momentous occasion, he commissioned the sacred beverage: Jeremiah Weed. The game of CRUD was also invented on this night.

Naval Aviators.
It was in the year 1241 that the Kingdom of Phu Khen made war on the Empire of Japan. In a bold move the Phu Khen king placed Phu Khen AV-8er's aboard warships and invaded Japan by sea. This was the first use of NAVAL AV-8ers in history. the Naval AV-8ers roamed the length and breath of Japan, burning many Japanese cities to ashes. the defeated Japanese surrendered in Tokyo Bay in 1245. The secret society Phu Khen Naval Aviators exists today. Their secret ensignia are wings of gold.

As Johnny Carson used to say ... "I did not know that."

Lol. Didn't think of it like that but you're right.

I would agree except I am not sure why Navy guys don't use rudder or aileron into the wind, EVER!!

:D

They weren't used to being treated that way in their echo chamber.

They no longer find it fun to post here for free, knowing that every word will be scrutinized and they'd be held to account. That's why they're not here anymore...not because of the nonsense theorized by RonRicco etal.

I suspect that due to "Contract Improvements" as provided by in C2012 that these aforementioned individuals have had the opportunity to work more and be more productive to the company; therefore flying ALV+15 every month in a base/seat that they were displaced/stagnated into has left them very little time to visit and/or post on this here website.

My "close the thread" was not because of your post. :D

It was due to Bar's.

Wait. I'm not sure I've ever flown a Air Force or Navy pilot at Delta Air Lines.

Yup. It used to be fun. But many people are turned off by the insults and non stop bickering. A lot of people(besides slow, sailing, alfa, and PG)have stopped posting or left.

More of the issue is that nothing has happened... stagnation, no hiring, and just kicking the can down the street (the good bid is always next bid!). It will get better as the floodgates hopefully finally open up.

And notice that slow and alfa almost completely stopped posting after they lost their positions in DALPA...
