But in the cockpit is a rare thing with your IT.

Really!?! Are you filling in for Douche Bag Machine? GMAFB!!

I paid ALPA dues for over 7 years. You are barking up the wrong tree, pal.

Umm, I wasn’t calling him a tool. I was responding to the earlier post and specifically stated he wasn’t a tool. 🙄🙄

Tools are people that judge other people on what they like to do with their free time.

You guys should try getting into the virtual airline world. It's a blast, you get the right PC and aircraft software then you said up your own personal parameters to get scheduled to fly.

Plenty of resources available for initial help. I programmed in 1000 hours of vacation time each year. Happiest airline experience I've ever had.
