His logic is garbage. It's like saying don't pass anti-smoking laws because people will go out to eat more and get fatter. The simple truth is that the regionals got away with hiring low time kids for years and now reality is setting in. People will either have to pay more for air travel so airlines can pay their pilots reasonable wages, or they will lose some service. He, of course, wants to entice kids to go to his school to learn how to fly, so he's running around acting like the sky is falling.

Reminds me of the time I accidentally walked into an obgyn office and the conversations going on in there were just priceless to say the least.:o

I have waited a long time for this individual's name to be brought up on this thread.

During one of my classes, while discussing airline labor relations, he discussed his role in the Continental strike of 1983 and how he crossed the picket line. When asked if he regretted his actions, he bragged to the class "I'm proud to be a scab!" Even in those early days of my career I understood the implications of crossing a picket line and my jaw just about hit the floor.

He went on to describe how all his Navy friends at Continental had turned their backs on him because of his actions. During the strike, he would antagonize and provoke the picketers and then call the police on them when they reacted in anger. His justification for crossing the picket line: he believed the strike was illegal and that he was helping save the company.

Very much a tool of the day!

PS He wears his Continental uniform to class including his ALPA lanyard...oh the irony.

Where does one begin dissecting that?

A) Nice long sleeve shirt,

B) He retired and wears his uniform around,

C) He is retired and a CAL super scab and wears his ALPA laynard,

D) He wears his uniform in an ATC class,

E) So he, I take it, was on a rest break flying across the gulf of mexico eating a first class meal, wearing his gun on his hip (internationally?) and wearing cowboy boots...

There are no adequate words to tell you how much this SCAB disgusts me. I wonder if UVU knows his history.

Holy moley... Tool of the year already in February! I cringed the entire way through that video!

Look at this tools email address! Seriously, why do dbag pilots all have stupid email addresses that start off "captain747xxx" or similar? Are they so narcissistic they need to be reminded all the time?

I go "retard retard" every time I look in the mirror.

Apparantly, the answer is, Yes!

He probably wears his unifom to bed too!

But...Where's his HAT?!

Everyone knows you're not a real Captain without the Hat! :D;)

You forgot... he's a cool pilot, so he doesn't wear his hat. :) (the absolute most gigantic tool I've flown with at DL was a guy that "hasn't worn his hat since 1997")
