I hope he's enjoying flying our "bent" airplanes now. LOL!!!
I will agree that the 700s with AE tail numbers are the worst ones that we have. For the most part, they have the most MELs and are bent and take a ton of trip on all axis to sort of fly straight.

Of course...because Jorge like to beat them on the ground like the ***** they are.

Also, they are not new like the shinny 900s.

Take your hands off the control and keep your feet of the rudders, that usually works. Besides AAG paxs deserve crap.

I choose to be realistic and plan for the worst. AA invested years ago with very little since. We're a "growing" airline with a shrinking pilot group. That's not exactly a plan for success. Even if they turned things around today, we are 4-6 months at the earliest from seeing the effects on the line.

More experience? I would gladly compare aircraft I've flown in the foreign countries and conditions I've flown against your record.

I have to get the helo stink off me. But I guess with your myopic view of the world, every military pilot was a fighter pilot.
Yep, like I said. I was in airline management when you were in Junior high. Let's see, never seen a "heavy" helo and never seen a helo file for the tracks so I guess I would put my experience up to yours. I appreciate your service to our country as I've said before. I also served and have been shot at but not in an aircraft.

4-6 months? Probably. No matter what PSA does, you won't be happy. That is for sure.

I'm pretty convinced that it's either going to get really good, or really bad. There isn't going to be any middle ground. I lean towards really good, but we'll see.

Me and you both. The quicker all 3 WO's struggle to the point where CCF starts to become an issue the quicker AAG will wake up and smell the coffee. Maybe...

In airline management during deregulation. In the business during the last hiring boom at the majors. Interesting.

I never said I ONLY flew helos, that's just where most of my time is. Sure you got me on "filing for the tracks" and I'm sure your filing compares with flying in foreign countries, landing in zero visibility brown out, aerobatics, midair refueling, formation flying, landing on a boat, etc.

I'm not sure where you got this me stuff as I've never demanded a pay raise, I've never demanded upgrade, I've never said I'm not happy doing my job. I have pointed out managements inability to even basically match what's going on in the rest of the industry. I have pointed out managements ability to create a shrinking airline and delay of aircraft delivery. I have pointed out their constant violation of the contract and theft from us. I guess if you're okay with all that than you must be on management here or so afraid to rock the boat in your last few years you're trying to eek out. Management here are complete bafoons. If you can't admit that, you are part of the problem.

Others complain about management but somehow I'm your chosen target. Go cry in you ensure, change your depends (if you're actually as old as you claim) and move on.
