He's so proud of what he did he claims it on his Linkedin page, Jim Green | LinkedIn "Worked with the COB of Texas Air Corp. and the CEO of Continental Airlines, suggesting a course of action that turned our operation from a failing one into one that became the best & largest airline in the world." What a tool...

So, in addition to being a scab and a scumbag, he's also claiming he works for the new American?

Dalad and Razor, thanks for your awesome posts. Its pilots like you who will help incoming new hires and fence sitters understand the history of our profession, and just how detrimental these people who crossed picket lines were to the industry. What you guys do goes a long way for educating those who may not realize whats at stake in their careers. Cheers to you

That's nice of you to say it, ghilis but I'm still new to this industry and trying to understand it all myself. I was career military so being a union labor guy is new to me! I do believe though, as others here have posted, that now while the cotton is tall is the time to get your financial house in order. Don't be the guy in debt up to your eyeballs that gets the call from the CEO trying to convince you it's okay to cross that picket line. It's a decision that will color what you do every day for the rest of your life. Don't do it. Decide now to be the guy that's proud when he looks in the mirror.

American Airlines isn't/won't be the largest until Single Operating Cert. (SOC) with US Air.

Pretty dumb sparky. Read up on antispam laws and you just might sleep for a while. But don't worry I'm sure APC won't give you up.

All 777 "Experts"
 
Just laughed my a%$ off at the self proclaimed 777 pilot/sim tech that CNN has had on all week.

First off you're on national television. Shave the scent saver and put on something nicer than blue jeans and a tee shirt.

Second. When you go to demonstrate the stopping capabilities of the 777 on a 4000' strip on nation television.... make sure you use reverse thrust. Even the anchor and the retired 777 (real) pilot had a hard time from busting up when they started to see dirt, grass and trees go by!

Smooth move buddy.......:D

Did you see when he did the "emergency decent" a few days ago? He nosed over but didn't touch the thrust or the speed brakes....cruise thrust and no spoilers all the way down. Where did they find that guy? It's really frustrating.

TOTD: The Cptn I recently flew with who would always help the FAs on turns to clean the cabin. It was rather embarrassing and infuriating to watch as pax deplaned and Cptn Douchebag was saying "goodbye" to them all while wearing white latex gloves from the galley and stuffing trash from the rows of seats into a little white trash bag.

Way to protect the respect for our profession (what little there is left of it in this country). Emirates, Lufthansa, ANA, or any other pilots from countries where our profession is still respected, do you guys make it habit of cleaning aircraft cabins especially in front of the general public? Nevermind.....I already know the answer.

Having watched this tool in action for three days, I KNOW he'd scab. No doubt in my mind. Of course, he fit the typical SW pilot flying background. Gee, what a surprise.
