I suspect those f/os never took the gumption to learn anything, from anybody. Why should they?

The people I knew would understand the post-did. The people I suspected would continue to "out" themselves-also rose to the occasion. You are part of the 1%. Congrats.

See you in another month or so to throw some levity onto the fire.
Whatever. It was a strong and very critical statement, but not one I wouldn't put past a guy who thinks his ____ don't stink and anyone that came after him, well, they wouldn't have made it back in the day. Do these people exist? Yes. Is it possible they would post what you did?

Part of the 1%? Your ability to assess from a post is very impressive.

I am not sure about princesses but anyone who reads even a few of the Delta forum on here is going to come to the conclusion that the average Delta pilot is one giant whiner!

I don't. There's no reason to. That why I wrote that I don't get bent out of shape. Who p***** is your Wheaties this morning?

Can you elaborate as to the standard quota of walk arounds that constitute a "share"?
On my equipment, at my station, the norm is 50/50. Thus, 50% is the "share."

This thread is starting to turn into a first officer entitlement gripe fest--when it's not operating as the commuting pilot gripe fest. It seems indicative of the people we have hired since 9/11.
Your post really has me scratching my head. I basically wrote that most guys are a pleasure to fly with and you went ballistic.

They will get us to bargain for a status quo or even a shrinking fleet/headcount just for fleet replacement with smaller jets. I'm actually suprised they didn't come seeking concessions for the big 737-900ER order.
The company will ask for 737 rates even though the -900 is a 757 replacement.

Alright, alright. Everybody just chill out. I don't need to come on here to hear a bunch of complaining. Calm down. Leave the sniping and whining to the usual suspects.

Here's a clip of some dude at his SWA interview. Laugh...haha...we're all happy again.

I flew the T-37 so I never blame the airplane for my screw ups. I jumped with a 320 North crew who were a couple of the funniest guys I've encountered in a while. The F/O said he does all the walk arounds because when he becomes a Captain he's not doing any! I flew the C-5 so I never had to do one walk around in 6 years. I was excited when I got to the 88 to actually see the outside of an airplane again.

Seriously as I type this Animal House is playing on the satellite and Kevin Bacon was saying "Thank You Sir, May I have another!"

Jughead's right.

where is the peace pipe?

now let's leave the 88's butt alone and review what RA said.

and go back and take a second look at what the oracle said.
