But the point she makes is that the people who pay your salaries DO care about that. You don't think so, but Joe Businessman wants a professional at the controls, and Joe Six pack wants a professional at the controls so his family arrives alive in Disney World. I know you don't think it is important. But you are wrong.

Amen, brother. You hit the nail on the head.

Sorry for the rant. sort of.

Which one is ftb? :cool:

No problem, I agree with you.

I'd say Hadji, cause he's playing with something small and furry, but I see him more as Johnny.

Your perspective is solely from the cockpit. Locked in the vault from block out to block in. She sees those that pay YOUR salary from boarding thru deplaning. I think her input on how our customers view us is way more valid than yours. You have the gall to paint with broad brush and refer to her as a cat rancher, when you know nothing about her. That is really sad that you have so little respect for your co workers that you would say something like that behind an invisible internet wall. Why don't you post your picture and let's all see what kind of Race Bannon you really are. (You probably don't even get that reference) Let's see those six pack abs that hot women will pay extra for in order to fly on your airplanes. Or is having only strippers and cheerleader Flight Attendants important to a successful airline? If that is the case, you are way overpaid. Prove me wrong stud.

Dammm Brother. I've crossed the Atlantic w/ you a dozen times...ain't never seen you on a roll like that! Cheers H...

Some things just get under my saddleblanket, and badmouthing fellow employees like he was doing is one of them. It's one thing when we pilots do it to one another on the forums. We're a bunch of childish boys that are just beating each other up, but to me his statements were just somehow different.

And thanks iceman.

I love me some mature professional gentlemen! :) I'm sure you're both a pleasure to work with and your FAs appreciate it.

I think tsquare is trying to get some action from LNL76. It's not like him to be concerned about anyone not named tsquare.

Nah, he just needs somebody to help him with his laundry... separate the whities now.

I'm gonna try to green-slip your red eye...all of them!

Way back in residency, I used to use a backpack for all my stuff coming to and from the hospital. One day one of the older docs scolded me and said I shouldn't use a backpack. I was like "why??" and the next day I looked around -- I realized I was the only person who was still using a backpack. I haven't used one since.

Backpacks are comfy (and probably better for your back than side cases) but as LNL said they are viewed as unprofessional by many.
