All the good stuff about hiring is buried in the first 10000 posts of this thread. Serious. The info was invaluable. The rest of the posts are just fluff.

DH,

That is brilliant...and pretty much spot on. You forgot Jesse, underboob, Auburn and cheerleaders. And the occasional we hate SWA post. Other than that, you nailed it!!

Buzz

 

Flying into LAX last night and it was really busy. Lots of traffic. I kept thinking "where are the Koreans?"

Too soon?

 

Asiana Representative We Su Yu announced litigation against the San Fran TV Station who reported crew names from an intern, Ollie Tabooger, for damaging Asiana's reputation (which is real news BTW) ... meanwhile in Asia, the Taiwanese news animators make the most over the top racist, hit every Korean stereotype there has ever been, with violence, whuut the .... video in the history of humankind.

Folks, don't click unless your skin is tougher than a retread on a 737 doing a no flap takeoff from SLC at MTOW, you were warned:

Never mind ... I'll get banned from APC ... if you must, search

"Youtube, Taiwanese Animation, Asiana, KTVU

The crew dancing on the airplane Gangham Style is gif worthy...

 

I disagree with your view of why I voted for this TA but I do agree that we have different agendas. I think DALPA is doing an ok job, there is always room for improvement, you think they're a failure. We
are close to the top of the US airline industry and the only ones better might be SW but SWAPA has used constructive engagement for almost 40 years so maybe burn the house down isn't a good approach. Your apology is accepted.

 

That was 100% worthy of the search.... if only I knew how to make a gif... WOW!

 

That is actually one of my greatest fears if the DPA gets put in... which the time for the election process may be upon us shortly (slowplay and alfa can pat themselves on the back for assisting in convincing many to put in DPA cards). I think our constructive engagement at this point is too much in mgmts favor... however, it's a VERY fine line to balance. It probably always will be a bit toward mgmt's favor by the nature of the beast.

I'm afraid if DPA gets voted in, they will go hardline and here we are with UPS/NWA/AA type adversarial relationship. That's the polar opposite with worse results. Granted, UPS guys make freaking craptons of money, but that's because the company prints money year after year. I'm truly amazed at how absolutely miserable their pilot group is. I can deal with making a bit less but having an enjoyable work environment.

 

hahahahah.

dude, home run.

 

Love it. You missed the short 2010 hiring cycle, the first underboob, and then underboob being banned by admins.
