We don't need people like you in the biz. I found this link at one of the more popular airline pilot forums. Your pic is making the rounds. If anyone knows you, you are so ...... .

You post stuff like this and yet you shut down the thread on "Mainline Pay for regional Aircraft" because of pointless bashing. Unreal.

If this makes you really mad enough to make it your life's goal to have him fired you have issues.

Well I certainly hope that mom wasn't, for Dad's sake. That would be one heck of a kick to the jimmy on Father's day.

My step sister is 20yo ... so this wouldn't surprise me.

That or the "Like it or go to the unemployment office" stuff. So I guess all the furloughed Midwest Capts. should be grateful that $37 an hour F/O job at the bottom of the seniority list.

Hasn't this guy ever heard of F/As?

Actually it is. Several Alaska employees have been fired for stuff they put on Facebook and Myspace. Some because they were wearing their unis, but some just because they identified themselves as employees.

Folks, I understand the sentiment for limited ridicule of this guy, but you're making a mountain out of a mole hill.

I called him; he hung up on me. I then left him a message and told him that i thought he should delete his ad.

Sending him messages, actually calling him....man, you guys have way too much time on your hands! (makes me think that your harder up than he is). I'm sure he has had plenty of people dipping into his business and it is obvious that he isn't following your advice because the ad is still up.

so jeez, just leave well enough alone, leave him alone and mind your own business. You guys remind me of a Jerry Springer audience.....making fun of him just to make yourselves feel better. I'm sure you have plenty of your own issues.

Now back to the original topic...

There are plenty of profiles on social networking sites with folks wearing a uniform in a respectful manner. It's not like he was making pilots look bad by the photo with him in uniform drinking beer or partially clothed. If you think he was making us look bad, you're over thinking and you should relax.

I am glad that you were polite. However, his ad didn't make the profession look bad.
