Again, a bit sensitive here. I never said anything about being mad at Mesa, or any Mesa pilot, for that matter. I was merely pointing out that his/her post was equally as juvenile. Could he/she not have simply ignored the post, as everyone else seems to have done so far?
And, btw, in case you didn't notice, I never blamed you or any Mesa pilot for anything. I'm fully aware of the harm that Dougweiser and Jerry **ASS have, and would love to continue, to inflict upon OUR careers. If you can't see how ANY aircraft showing up at DFW with "American Eagle" painted on the side would upset an Envoy pilot, then I don't know what else to say to you. |

Wow. Talk about a tattletale. Is he wrong? Did that post slander you or any Mesa pilot in any way? A bit sensitive, aren't we? Hmm... I wonder, why? :rolleyes:

@Vagabond is this post consistent with your warnings?
Is this not the exact type of unwarranted, uncalled-for inflammatory behavior you were referring to a few posts back? Just saying--this guy just won't let his vendetta against Mesa go, and it's making it hard for the rest of us discuss Mesa and Mesa hiring. I don't see what is remotely inflammatory, uncalled for, or unwarranted in that post. Please PM me with any further concerns as to not disrupt the discussion. Thanks, facebiter |
To me this whole issue is kind of like when your girlfriend starts flirting with another dude and you proceed to summarily kick his @$$. Completely ignoring the fact that she enticed him.
Obviously this is a crushing blow to AE guys, to see their flying farmed out to the lowest bidder. The easy target for their warranted anger, is the Mesa pilot. But that anger is misplaced. It could be argued that the regular line pilot should know better and refuse to play. But how do you do that when you're several years into a list at a company? Bottom line, you fly what and where they tell you to. AE anger should be directed at their leaders, their parent company, ALPA, and the industry as a whole. i.e. the girl friend. But that isn't the easy thing to do, and I understand that. It takes clear thought and logic to follow the blame trail to it's true and proper place, and emotion is nearly always in conflict with logic. |

Agreed, so for those that do have the money to spend, how long is the training in Copenhagen? Did people volunteer or end up getting forced to go there? I assume hotel is paid for over there?

The airline you fly for has their airplanes purchased by their code share and maintained by the same while being shipped off to a foreign country for training.
What could go wrong? |

What could go wrong? Does Canada also count as a foreign country? |

I got a class date but cancelled. I have a buddy there is an 8 year cap and he is miserable. No way will I fly a jet for 20k a year.
