The Einsten who doesn't know the difference between a PM and visitor message and posted some somewhat disparaging comments for all to see. Jackass. :eek:

I am told with profit sharing we had over 50 guys break 400k last year. Know your contract and use it well!

It's not just CNN. I heard it on local news radio station here in Dallas.

And how many of those were LCA's flying 120hrs. a month, before the new FAR's kicked in? :rolleyes:

I've been hearing lots of crying from some of the senior F/O's as well, who are now limited to 'only' flying 100hrs. in 28 days.

"I took a 40 hour per month pay cut!!" :eek:

(20 hrs. but all at GS rates)

You know, now that they mention it, I could hear the tension in Capt. Sum Ting Wong's voice once ATC cleared him for that visual;

"Ho Lee Fuk!":eek:

"Yes Captain?" :D

One of my favorite scenes from Bruce All Mighty... Your basic voice activated robot you'll find on CNN and FOX?

First post in this thread but I think about it everytime I hear this guy on the radio. Usually over Washington or New York center I'll hear him check in "CIIIIIIIIIIITTTTAATTTIONNNNNN something something three alpha delta level three four oh GRAAAAAAATTTTTEEEE DAAAYYYYY"

This has happened a couple times in the last few weeks and I'm assuming that happens every check in call.
