No kidding, I was thinking the same thing. One thing I like about APC is that most of the threads are productive and informative. This thread was pure flame bait and no one fell for it, but instead they took the moral high road and actually gave a solid and informative reply.

Doing a search on "grooinaviator" I found this thread from yesterday: http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/sh...077#post105077 I think posts 3 - 5 are interesting.

Another thing I like about APC is they protect the privacy of the forum users. Users on the other-hand have the option to share a home page in their profile. Again take "groovinaviator" for example, he put a link to his homepage: http://www.myspace.com/groovinaviator and says he's a pilot for Air Wisconsin named Andrew Payne.

Andrew also says:
Integrity and honesty are huge.
I guess this only applies when he's Andrew Payne, and not posting as the "goovinaviator". Most of what I've seen of his posts here are kinda shallow.

Air Middy does have some all white 1900's. These are all on the US Air side however. United only gets the ERJ and the CRJ 200/700.

Now why do you have to name groovin...... with his first name. You could have simple used his handle name on APC, The man can say whatever he wants without showing his true creditenials. I don't personally don't think United will dump Mesa but can exercise their right not to re-new their bid when it comes to an end. Groovinaviator has some of the best post on this forum and i'm sure revealing his name to the forum public is was not a smart move.

Why post someone's name? I personally think that's wrong and you should follow Groovin' example and apologize.

I flew for MESA 16 yrs ago and they are still doing the same old stuff. Still have some good friends there that never jumpship for one reason or another. Good old Larry was running the show back then and he always had a trick up his sleeve. Now JO was tought by Larry R. thats the reason Mesa operates and has been in business all these year. My favorite is the Casper, the WhiteGhost airplane we flew down in FL or out in FMN. Always had a spare airplane sitting somewhere to fill the hole. It was a b!tch back then, and you guys are still fighting into days market. Good luck and get those APPS out, things will change for the better. Try not to beatup on each other though,some pilots will be jerks, its hard I know, Stay professional and keep the faith for a better job out there waiting for you.

All these attempts to find out about my personal life are fair... I won't hide behind a nameless faceless forum like most who post on here. Lately I've made some posts that were not necesarily nice/productive and I apologize... It could be from the boredom i expereience day after day sitting in the crashpad as ORF FO's are never used on reserve (see most recent AWAC thread)... From what I can tell there are much more ridiculous people than I that post often on this thread, but that is no reason for me to sink to such level.

I feel I have owned up to my mistake, now we can all move on.

Can someone make a gif of a dead horse being flogged? I'd love to have one, it fits so often here....

You're flogging a dead horse, let him lie in peace. Find something productive to add, like where some cool jobs are hiding!
