You are still 1.5-2 years away from upgrade and about 1600 out of 1900ish.

No, I was comparing eaglefly's overall actions to have a similar psychological profile as was found the in the case of these two individuals. You see, someone can have a psychosis and not be a murder, just as a murder may not necessarily have a psychological abnormality. You attempt to simplify the matter into a simple difference of opinion, whereas the entire point of that post is that this "difference of opinion" goes much deeper than a simple single dimensional comparison.

Try to stay with me here. Psychologists found that McVeigh, despite whatever vale of justification of his actions as an act of justice, his true deeply imbedded motivation was anger and his desire to lash out due to that anger. My implication was that despite eaglefly's claim that he is just a realistic guy taking time out of his day to perform a community service that in reality, he is bitterly anger that his career and life did not turn out as he expected and he blames Eagle and Letter 3 for his unhappiness. The idea that some young pilot could come to envoy today and be at AA in 6 years infuriates him and he does whatever he can to derail that.

When you take a close look at his posts, he repeatedly shouts the message that there is no guarantee but refuses to acknowledge that no job at a regional is a guarantee in the current marketplace. As if envoy is the only company whose business plan and upgrades are dependent on new hires. He repeatedly claims that Parker will stop the flow if his regional staffing becomes critical but fails to offer a basis for his claim or rebuttal for substantiated claims otherwise.

Just as McVeigh's solution to his unresolved issues was to execute an indiscriminate weapon on destruction on individuals who were not associated with the cause of his frustration. Likewise, eaglefly vendetta against envoy, its pilots and the management teams of his former and current employer shows the same indiscriminate destruction against individuals that he should empathize with rather than detest.

What is truly embarrassing is that you failed to look beyond a simple direction correlation and that my post had to be explained to you. Perhaps you would be better to spend your time with activities better suited to your intellectual capabilities. Maybe you can bring your Legos and coloring books over to eaglefly's house and play. Don't worry about coloring inside the lines, all that matters is you try. You will be rewarded and praised either way.

Medical- depends on the plan.

For Employee +1 about:

$185/mo PPO2500

$235/mo PPO1500

$339/mo PPO750 (Lowest deductable, lowest out of pocket costs)


Dental is about $17/mo for Employee +1

No idea. Probably not too long with the movement, lots of DFW FO's continue going to the 175, it should open up slots on the 145 eventually. Unless you get the CRJ. Then it is ORD only. You would have to wait for a displacement to get out of that aircraft. We have been having one or two or so a year lately, but they are completely unpredictable as to if/when.

12 in last class. All ORD I think.

Correct, I think it actually is exactly. My wife and I are on our own separate insurance plans. She gets really good coverage at her work but it is only single or family - no +1 option. So putting me on her better coverage is about 3 times (since it assumes family of 4). Putting her on mine would give her less coverage.

Now I don't care who you are, this right here is damn funny. You made my evening, Joyce Brothers.

Do you even know what a jihad is? What does my assessment of your motivation for a smear campaign against envoy have to do with waging a holy war on infidels? You know if you didn't spend so much time stewing over how your life turned out, you could learn about this stuff.

Maybe if certain individuals stopped obsessing over places they don't work anymore this conversation would be more worthwhile.
