Yes, he sounds like a tool. But more importantly, the pay gap is fiction. If women really were 70-80 cents on the dollar to men, every corporation would be knocking down doors to hire as many females as possible. It's a solution in search of a problem, IMO.

Glad that you know precisely how many times you've failed to comply with a restriction.

Perhaps he was implying "uhh second time, we have already slowed."

Not saying this is the case here, but i was based in IAH for a long time and they always seemed to be the worst with dumping you in on a short approach and then "Acey, I show a 60 knot overtake on traffic ahead, slow to your final approach speed." Reeeallly? So that 737 ahead is doing 80 knots? Or is it possible your radar hasn't updated yet from your last request that I come falling out of the sky from 7000 feet?

The Harmonica thing is kinda funny. But in a typical AirTran style schedule of 4-5 flights/day on a 4 day trip would get real old real quick.

Both Cptn Star Wars & Cptn Harmonica are scabs.

I didn't look up the Star Wars tool but I figured as much. Based on his age and that it was an AirTran flight, an obvious assumption is EAL scab via the critter.

Good catch!

AirTran actually didn't have that many scabs especially by the end. Of the 1735 pilots on property when SWA showed up, I'd guess we had about 30-50 scabs left, but yes...these two are part of that number. They're both since retired.

I was at AirTran from '05-'07. If you could avoid the scabs then the rest of the crews were great. My fondest memories of 121 flying were at DaTranny.:)
