anybody else notice the AE 700 on the homepage today. Either an intern screwed up and doesn't know a 200 from a 700 or something else might be going on. I hope we don't take these planes.

 

I also saw that, looks like they just fixed it to one of our 200's

 

That's what the 6 upgrades are for... getting 16 CR7s in September. [/cynicism]

 

Are you one of those people that do the whole my generation is so much better then your "entitlement" generation...? I laugh so hard when i hear you fools. Mind you, while your generation is bankrupting the country, selling bad loans that force us into a terrible recession, and generally only caring about yourselves, you tell us that we should be happy for the ****ed up hand we have been dealt. Yet the generation before us, likely "your generation", screwed the **** out of my generation and the upcoming ones. I'm sorry we have to pay off all of the debts your generation took. I'm sorry we got screwed by the economic collapse your generation created. I'm sorry my friends have been getting shot at in the wars your generation created. I'm sorry your generation created the hell known as the regional airlines. I'm truly sorry for all of it.

 

That would actually be 31% you then.

 

I don't know you, haven't kept up with what you might have posted before... but right here, right now, I like you.

hah...

Nononononono, I pay my dues (literally, the 1.9% or whatever), I vote when votes come up, I listen to what ALPA has to say... that being said, I don't like ALPA, if a chance to vote them out came up, I probably would. I was not part of ALPA when the set-up to this cluster F&#$ was being carried out. The 1% me is the time when I decided to take a chance on this failing carrier (back before it was failing) in 2007.

 

Why yes, I've spoken to many of them. Actually, my late uncle was one of the TWA folks who took it in the shorts from American. I've seen the ugly side of this industry for a long time, and now I have the distinct displeasure of living it out. What I refuse to do is just accept the fact that this career is a "crap shoot", as you say. We are charged with people's lives, in multi million dollar machines, with hundreds of millions of dollars of liability on our shoulders. If you think poverty level wages, and deplorable working conditions are acceptabe, then I have no words for you sir.

Judging by your remarks, I'll bet my per diem you are one of the ones responsible for creation this abomination of an industry since you're "too good to fly a little jet".

 

Same reason DFW or IAD CR7 CA has been an option on the standing bid sheet since forever?

 

That's pretty awesome...you have managed to find someone else to blame for everything but global warming and your own stupid looking haircut...


and your assumptions about me are, of course, wrong.

 

The career is a crap shoot, the profession is not....are ALL your turns ninety degrees?
