Captain Green was a MD-80 Captain in Houston?

I am sure they were attempting my "conversion".

and L-UAL pilots wonder why L-CAL guys don't wan't their personal phone numbers and addresses published...

Just wait a minute. This guy is Tool of Infinity if that is true.

Be sure to show up on a checkride or IOE with that attitude in tow... then come back here and tell us all just how right you are....

+717.


The crashpad is vacant today for a change... :D

Show me a fork lift operator that has a folder containing a liability insurance coverage statement equal or more than my piece of equipment.

Mine is $1,000,000,000

That's right, one Billion.

One more thing. Try carrying yourself like a fork lift operator instead of a leader around a crew of 10 Flight Attendants, 3 Gate Agents, 2 Mechanics, 1 Crew Chief, a company hack Dispatcher and station manager, a pilot pushing Chief Pilot, 200+ passengers, all pushing their own agenda. Let me know how it works out.

I've been the FO for leadership voids like the above situation. It degenerates real quickly into public school class with a weak substitute teacher.

Runner up Tool? Yup.

There is a story out there that the first time the Eastern MEC Chairmen met Frank Borman he addressed him as Mister Borman. Borman then asked to be called "Col. Borman". The MEC Chairman than pulled out his military ID and said "Fine, you can call me General". Don't know if it is true but I hope so

Agreed. Wholeheartedly.

I wouldn't advocate that... it might discourage others from being tools. Then what would we do for laughs? Those laughs and to check and see if I'm on here, is the only reason I still come around to this forum. Let's just let the disgrace of his scabbing (and his obvious toolishness) become what he is remembered for.
