also 'on the safe side'???, hes the captain and if he wants to deice then you deice, I don't understand why anyone has to think past that.

 

The captain is the final authority on deicing. It's in FM-1. I've got 14,000 hours PIC at Eagle, so I understand the concept. That's different from the opposite of not deicing when necessary.

I think it's time to run along son and hook up with the rest of the Katzenjammer kids and plan your next tanbark fight.

You're going nowhere with this baloney.

 

Eaglefly,

Like you I began at Eagle, however you really need to get over this superiority attitude. Changing from Eaglet wings and ID to AA brand doesn't make you God or better than anybody else.

I honestly hope they merge the two. That would solve all scope issues and rid AMR of up to 1/3rd of their operating cost. We're akready facing a new B scale for the A319; so make a C scale for all the small jets allowing AMR to keep that flying competitive and we keep it all in house.

However, constantly fighting and putting the Eagle guys down isn't going to make things any easier.

For Gods sake man, grow up. You sound like a schoolyard bully picking on the other kids, and it makes me embarrassed that you're wearing the same uniform.

 

I'm not putting all the Eagle guys down, only some of them. Let's face it, Wingtips enjoys picking a fight with me and who am I to deny his pleasures ? Expecting me to treat his baseless, infantile accusations with respect, isn't realistic either. Then again, you've spent plenty of time over the years taking your fair of potshots at me as well (especially when I was at Eagle), so this post isn't surprising. BTW, most of those at Eagle when I was there didn't care for the term "eaglet" as it implies inferiority. That's a sweeping negative generalization of ALL Eagle pilots as opposed to my criticism of only some.

Interesting you use that term, yet criticize me for claiming to have superiority over others, which isn't the case.

 

Only putting some Eagle guys down? Well as long as it is only some! That's ok. I was worried the whole lot was rotten. Apparently Eagle guys are hi- fiving at the chance to take flying away from AA. Reading these threads makes me wonder what type of pilots are writing these. If you want to enter the octagon and take down all Eagle pilots, remember that is exactly what management wants. Divide and conquer works well. There is not one pilot group out there that hasn't been screwed over by management via another pilot group. Alas you wanna help out and make a point stick with facts rather than opinion.

 

Evidently ALL the Tools hang out wherever he's seeing this because I'm not seeing it here, on TalkAirline, or in the crew rooms.

Just sayin.

 

Sarcasm! I assumed it was obvious !

 

No, the whole lot isn't rotten (that's kind of ridiculous). I hear plenty of criticism of AA pilots from those at Eagle and some of it is justified, but I don't take it personally. In fact, one just on this forum, but it seems that flies over the head of Eagle pilots (perhaps that's acceptable), but one bad word about SOME Eagle pilots and there's a horrific clamour with cries to the heavans.

FACTS only here.

I've heard this from Eagle pilots directly whom I know and THEY say they hear it from guys they fly with, in the crewrooms and on certain websites. Some of it is blatent and some of it is more veiled, but it's there. These are pilots who still want to come to AA, but are seeing too many of their Eagle brethren becoming increasingly intoxicated at the thought of E-190's and some are even saying they'd like the A319 orders slated for AA switched over to Eagle.

Interesting you talk about "divide and conquer", yet are in total denial of the sympathetic environment of enablers that you are in the midst of. It might be time to look around, TRULY open your eyes and see a critical part of the problem. You're either part of that problem or part of its solution. Right now, I don't see any solution there.

 

The guys I've talked too still there do. I've even overheard Eagle pilots in the terminal discussing it and not unfavorably. I think you see what you WANT to see.

 

I usually high-five my FO when we land the C7 in places like DEN,LAX,ABQ,ATL,IAH,PHX,SLC. We must be a happy crew!
