Apparently I work hard so I can tip him more while having to listen to him complain how cheap I am.

I just didn't understand the logic.
Yes! Got let go by some bank. I figured it was some guilt inducing scam to get me to ante up more. There was one guy that was trying to shake us down to drop us off at B terminal. Always wanted to make us walk from C to avoid the traffic. Even the Q runner tried to do that once. Uh, no.

The logic is to make you feel guilty and tip more.

Hard to make me feel guilty when I already couldn't care less before his mouth even starts moving. Shut up and drive.

So who ever thought it was a good idea to cancel all the JFK flights but instead operate to SWF needs to be fired. Please look at the loads between mvy-swf and back and the pwm turns. Had a buddy text me he flew 1 passenger today.

I'll take you up on this one, since you just lost all credibility of knowing ANYTHING you're talking about...

But hey, let's make it easy for you To understand,

Doing stand up PA's is cute and fun, you can do one, or you cannot do one, the cool part about it is it's NOT illegal to do one, nor is it to not do one.

Getting more technical, if ALPA says "do not do stand up PA's" let's say, via email or phone call or a letter posted in the cockpit; to the pilot group, then we are looking at an illegal job action.

Since the grass is growing green for you, and your money tree is in full bloom, ill make a deal for you, I'll take 300k for my. Mortgage.PM me for bank info.

It's been explained very well above. The illegal job action comes from ALPA telling us not to do something. Not the same as if I make a personal decision to not do one.

PM me your address I'll send you the bill.

They've done it a few times recently with the 190 operation when JFK gets all FUBAR'd. Bus passengers to/from JFK and SWF. Not everyone wants to go, especially connecting passengers in JFK coming in from an outstation so that leads to 5-10 passengers per flight.

Giant mess and more trouble than it's worth. Some 25 year old Brooklyn hipster intern at LSC got a good pat on the back for it, though.

They didn't bus anyone. Passengers had to pay their own way to get to/from

Clear and beautiful day, no weather or delays in any of the hubs. Already 18 cancelled flights and almost 100 delays. Summer, just one continuous IROP at JB.
