I used to read his posts on the CAL pilots forums (before he was thrown out of there) and he was exactly the same on there. I thought that he might be joking around and giving people a hard time on purpose, but then I met a guy that flew with him over in Europe or somewhere, and he said that this guy was totally off his rocker.

He also couldn't pass the psych test for FFDO, so you can be the judge of that. I feel sorry for his FOs.

He is by far the biggest nutjob on this site.

Scrappy,

Who are you kidding. We know that no airline has 7 hotties on intl flights. Seniority rules for FA's too and the hags like intl and can hold it. I'll give you one hottie and two maybees but not seven hotties. Let's not let our temper get the best of us.

Note: I didn't say you get 7 "hot" FA's on int'l...you get 7 total. However - I have seen more than two on quite a few occasions internationally that were very attractive. Of course there are also plenty of butterfaces as well. Hey, we are still hiring FA's like crazy. Obviously that wasn't the point of my post - it was his elevating SWA as a great airline based on the fact he had 3 hot FA's on one occasion and they happened to laugh on the flight deck during their 20 minute turn. GMAFB. SWA is a good company - but obviously not for those sophmoric reasons.

Scrapdog,
I agree with you on all counts. But save your breath. Some SWA faithful here (especially new hires, poolies and wanna-bees) take personal affront to the slightest perceived knock on the great and beneficent SWA...

Sure it's a great place for many people...but to some on this forum, it can do no wrong (much like the followers of another Texas cult in the news recently)...

I agree with Scrap too....such optimum rational!!

Sure SWA is a solid/strong company, that I do not refute. To draw this on the basis of getting paired with 3 hotties and getting to see a "rack" while doing it all on a 20 minute turn??? Easy there Spanky, I too remember my first beer too

You can keep all your Amarillo, Jackson, Birmingham, and Omaha overnights.....you need every bit of "your" 3 hotties on that road show.

I think I'll stick with the Rome, Athens, Paris, and Amersterdam

PS....your correct about one thing, the hat thing does suck!

PS - I bet you wear a hat, too.
Way more than 3 hotties in Kyiv. It's the land of the living Barbie doll.

Or how about just a basic decent thing to do for someone w/ a college education and a whole lot of experience like not making them wait 6 MONTHS to get HEALTH INSURANCE!!! That is just plain ridiculous! McDonalds treats their employees better.
So I would say that getting a type vs CAL not paying for insurance for 6 months is a wash if they leave.

Yet another one with the original response. Not even smart enough to read the several post about fuel hedges and how SWA uses them.
