I guess his punishment for destroying the reputation of the ALPA magazine is having to work at Commutair. At least now the pilots of Commuteair will have a great role model to look up to, no doubt his experience of director of ops at a jet operator will maybe allow for Commutair to venture into jet flying as well.

Oh I got the point. I'm not a big fan of the sapa arrangement, I just wish there were other union options besides alpa. You are beyond oblivious, sticking up for alpa on a thread about TM.

In their own words, TM the aviation fraud of the century IS alpa! If you are an alpa nazi, now would be a good time to lay low.

Guys who think alpa is some sort of religion or brotherhood enable the perpetuation of everything that is wrong with the organization. Alpa is a business, which seems to reward it's management far better than it's shareholders. It would be great if we could have one national union, but alpa has spent decades phasing themselves out of that position.

If a few more people stood up and threw the BS flag maybe some things would get fixed.

Tim Martins joined the Mile High Club while scuba diving.

ChipChelios 09-04-2010 12:53 PM

I heard they designed the F22 around Tim Martins starting with a picture of him sitting in a bucket seat.

ChipChelios 09-04-2010 12:58 PM

I heard the Nevada gaming commission refused to give him a license to fight in the UFC because he "is just too powerful and might hurt someone".

Well now Ricky, I guess if you want to make it all personal....

.....try to not to be so pi$$y/bitter because YOU were too ignorant, stupid, or just flat out dumb to make a choice of where you went to work first. Remember, you (and others) can collectively thank the ALPA carriers that have negotiated/bargained for better pay and work rules that you know get to ride the coattails of.

That's about as nice as I can spell it out for you.

My post was meant as a joke. You missed the humor, you often do.

Tim Martins was the first knuckle dragger to walk up right.

pilotrob23 09-04-2010 01:01 PM

alpa is a business and they certainly have a monopoly.

ChipChelios 09-04-2010 01:08 PM

C'mon guys, put all that serious ALPA talk away. We are trying to have a good time here at someones expense.

I heard on his first flight lesson, TM did perfect lazy eights followed by a power off, soft field, short field landing that was such a greaser that an ant that he landed on later testified that he just had a slight headache after the encounter.

Chuck Norris had Tim Martins as his UPT instructor.

You may have gone too far with this one. I hope Mr. Norris doesn't frequent this board.:eek:

Jamers 09-04-2010 01:20 PM

Tim Martin's flight manual has no limitations section.

piperpilot12w 09-04-2010 01:25 PM

Surely the Majors would never hire this guy.
His punishment will be being a Lifer at Commutair;)

mmaviator 09-04-2010 01:53 PM

911 dispatchers call Tim Martins for their emergencies.

Tim Martins' toilet is the Fountain of Youth.

I'm not riding on anyone's coattails, nor am I advocating that approach. I voted yes, for the slightly lesser evil.

But that doesn't mean I'm going to shut up and enable the status-quo...alpa is jacked in many ways and TM should be a wake up call to all of blind-faith alpa acolytes.

That can be said for any organized labor group not just ALPA. UPS, Southwest, the IBT, FAPA, and all the rest who tell management to go kick rocks when the time comes.

So it's you that's singlehandedly negotiating for better pay and work rules and SkyWest?

You went to a place that's been doing it for years.

I'm sure Rick can fight his own battles, he doesn't need you to argue on his behalf. He wouldn't advocate that.

Oh I didn't realize it was just between you and Rick. I must have hacked into an account and read these PMs.

Since I'm here I might as well just clarify. ALPA is the only union that has pushed for better wages/work rules and you hold it against Rick for working at Mesa and leaving meanwhile you flourished over at indyair. Got it!

I'll never understand how someone at one regional feels far superior to someone at another... :rolleyes:

Wow, good come back dude :rolleyes:

How's that FO pay rate working out for you over there?

Tim Martins would of got a better rate out of the reverend, AND one listed everybody.

NEVER said nor implied that. You need to do a better job at reading comprehension and keep up. But yeah, keep fanning the flames. At least the Tim Martins jokes were funny.

Tim Martins is already Seniority Number 1 at Republic, Midwest, Lynx, and Frontier. When the SLI is done, he will move up 12 numbers to -11.

"try to not to be so pi$$y/bitter because YOU were too ignorant, stupid, or just flat out dumb to make a choice of where you went to work first."

^^^^What exactly were you getting at if you weren't talking about Rick working at Mesa? If you meant something else I apologize however proper grammar could have prevented it.

The FAA is replacing Vne with Vtim martins. You simply can't exceed Tim Martins.

Too many personal attacks against each other. The purpose of this thread has been met and it's ran it's course. Closed.
