lmao that's so true. We played this game in our ground school. It was ridiculously hilarious what people would come up with, lol.

Good Read

Perhaps a minute of everyone's time to read "The importance of pilot unity" on the this section of APF would be time well spent.

If that approach was adopted by all of us, a lot of the issues in this particular thread would become non-existent.

Just my two cents...devalued to $ .00012984 on Friday's close.

For now I've accepted the fact that my unity rests with my family, and the folks I personally fly with.

If this is what you have to complain about then either life's that good for you or you're a drama queen.

Wow!?, just lost all my respect for the Duck. Bad logic and poor professionalism.

I don't think thats even possible anymore. I do think that when you purchase a ticket you should be given the aircraft name instead of a strange code like 73G or CR9. A little truth in advertising.. Its should simply say "Delta Airlines Boeing 737-700" or "operated by Mesa Airlines Canadair 900". The affiliate airline should have a hyperlink to the corporate website.

I used Delta as an example...I don't mean anything by it.

Professionalism is a measure of self respect.

Pay is what you consider your skill set to be worth.

On a related topic, am I the only one who thinks it's completely unprofessional to have newspapers/magazines sitting below the center console in public view? So many pilots have zero awareness of public perception.
