Actually I've NEVER heard any conversation in an AA cockpit that even mentioned Eagle pilots. Once in a long while AE will be discussed about how scope needs to be tightened, but sorry to disappoint, but AE pilots themselves are a matter of indifference to a vast majority of AA pilots.
In the meantime, there's a few vociferous AE guys that blame the APA for everything from the zits on their ass to global warming.

 

I believe that is correct. MOST Eagle pilots aren't under any illusions about AA pilots themselves. I certainly don't have any problem with AA pilots with the exception of a psychotic fruitcake here, who went off the deep end years ago.

I WILL admit I'm not a fan of the APA.

A LOT of pilots here aren't fans of Eagle ALPA for that matter, but that doesn't mean they hate their own pilots per se. Re jumpseating, I cannot recall a bad experience in perhaps 20 times at AA over the last 5 years and have only had one issue with one AA pilot in mine out of perhaps 75 (no, I didn't deny him the seat).

Perception usually isn't reality.

 

Poor Phallus.

Hopelessly mired on the wrong side of his cockpit, saying "yes sir, no sir" for the next decade. Forever believeing the boogyman and Eagle pilots hide under his bed.

Pathetic.

All that's left for him is to chase ghosts that don't exist.

Demented and sad.......yet social.

 

As one of the junior eagle pilots I am saddened by all the name calling and insults being thrown around in this forum. Its realy sad to see that we as pilots can be devided over such small issues. No wunder the industry is the way it is.

I hope that APA can negotiate a fair and respectable contract but the fact remains that the RJ cat is out of the bag. The only thing left for APA to do is accept reality and get the best deal they can for themselves in todays world. Gone are the days of make 250,000 a year and working 12 days a month. I'm sure it was nice while it lasted. I for one just love getting paid to fly. Yes I want to make more money doing it but I can live within my means and have a darn fine life at Eagle, if it comes to that. There are worse jobs and positions to be in.

This job is a privilage and an honor at any level, I think its time people start remembering that. and move forward with the reality of TODAYS aviation industry not the PAST.

 

Locked due to continued name calling and bashing. Take it to PM's.
