They're the same ones that scare me in the x-winds, man-handle the controls, fly an out-of-trim aircraft, and wonder why a lowly FO can fly circles around them...and these are guys twice my age

If you want to hand fly go find some /A IFR job. You're just making the poor CAs job that's done that flight about 1000 times more difficult.

I agree with your post, I have been on the ramp for ua for 16yrs..I also fly the rj. I make more on the ramp than i do flying. But I need both jobs now so I can keep my house. To say that the ramp agents can kiss your @#! is wrong. If your talking about ramp agents for ua, the company has cut so many, thats why your waiting all the time, not because of anything else. the other day I worked a 777 with 3 people!! thats it, and when I was flying last week I waited 15 min for a parker in iad, and they are not ua they are contract people! if I'm wrong plz do tell me thanks

Rather fly a "Barbie Jet" than a relic (DC9/MD80/82,83,88)
