By the way you active PDT LGA guys, at least one guy gave a rash of it to Captain America. Please remember there is at least one good apple who had enough guts to say it is wrong to this guy.

Does the "Captain America" legend live on? He's still hung on to that name?
Is this the guy who swaps out light bulbs in hotels and returns home with his overnight bag filled with hotel toilet paper?
And yet he has always picked up as much open time as possible. He was known for picking up FO open time too, back in the day. Can't imagine he would do that now, though.

I observed no swaps for any reason that actually decreased a pilots pay.
Again, there are many pilots at Piedmont Airlines that are straight picking up time while 15% of the total pilot group is furloughed.

He actually got fired for smearing a soft steamy one all over the walls of his hotel room to get back at the hotel for reporting him to the company.
I just said Capt. America as in just a nickname to use rather than using an expletive that the MODs would have warned me for or deleted my post.

hahaha crazy. Can't blame the FOs tho, with the amount we get paid.
Altho that it a joke and really going to extremes but really... the FOs i guess you can't really blame hehe... jking, and not jking at the same time. Even tho we're one of the "better paying" prop carriers.

"Better paying".... more like not paying me at all. I was on Reserve for over a year and a half, commuting to sit in base for a week without getting to fly, living below poverty level then getting kicked to the street. Living the dream....Living the dream.
