Dang! I knew it would catch up to me!

Nah....its BARF!!!!! Bank, Airspeed, Radar, Fuel........

When I get to cruise in an 88 I always BARF

:):)

I wore a blue pin stripped suit, burgundy belt and shoes, and a tie that was blue, grey, and dark purple. I stood out like a pilot strolling through the mall on a layover. I guess I didn't read the part of the gouge that stated you must wear an FBI uniform to the interview, but still made it for some crazy reason.

Did you wear one like that for your first day of class as well?

We all thought that was strange. Neither one was hired. True story.

Similar episode for my DAL interview. 30+ clones and one US Army fixed-wing guy in a slate blue, three-piece suit and brown Earth shoes. :rolleyes:

This was NOT a Delta flight, but given that this stuff just keeps happening at the "vendors" you'd think it would be relevant to our outsourcing discussions.

IMHO, airlines should stop assuming "Safety is a given"

And what point do you stop aiding the company for cutting corners elsewhere to rely on your professionalism? I'm all for doing the best job I can, not making up for the deliberate failure to perform of others.

By our very nature that is what we do and how we are wired.

I do not know at what point you stop, I guess it depends on the environment.

ACL,

You are right - we are wired that way but we have to fight it. I ruined a shirt trying to correct a totally jacked up air conditioning hose. I know better and should have just started the APU - I am now through with that. If the company hires personnel and does not train them properly or they don't care because they make $9/hour and plan on quitting at the next major holiday that is not my problem.

Scoop

Too funny. :D

I know a guy who worked part time for UPS at an airport off loading freighters, he was there for 7 years. Duing his tenure with UPS he had health care, vacations and when he retired a pension!

What is this "pension" thing some of you keep bringing up. I'm not familiar with the term. ;) Does it have something to do with a clock spring? Hmm, no that would be "tension." Pension, hmmmm, nope, still not coming to me. :D
