Because we had planned it for over 6 months and I couldn't get the week off at my crappy regional, I called in sick. So he can't "in good conscience" recommend anyone who would abuse sick policy. THAT is where the term "douchbag" originates from Should he write a note to DAL HR mentioning your name and sick leave abuse... that would take DAL off the table for you. Call me Capt Obvious |

May I point out the obvious? So far you've just lost an outdated LOR, BUT by calling your neighbor a "douchbag" on a public website that he may very well frequent.... well, now you've possibly cost yourself a job at DAL.

Those who step on one another climbing the ladder will usually see those they stepped on when they fall down. What goes around comes around...
A long time ago, a weak pilot from my military squadron couldn't get a job anywhere despite massive hiring at the majors. The resume looked very good but multiple pilots who knew this pilot had called their respective HR. Nobody wanted to see him/her at their shop. Still happens and HR is always accepting input. (No, I didn't call on him/her) You are absolutely correct in saying what goes around comes around. It does indeed. Don't **** people off. |

Crap. He's back. It was getting so pleasant without Dr. Troll's presence for a short time there.

This dude (the Delta neighbor) is a complete tool if the story told is true and complete (see possible snorkeling incident). Seriously though, this forum seems to be getting more and more about trolling and/or pi##ing on guys. I don't know... might be time for an extended hiatus. |

Either way...that's a pretty messed up thing to do for a friend. What's up with the "holier than though" attitude? |

No doubt a 35%er. Probably wails about all the money he lost by our TA being voted down.
