I’m sorry but are you challenged or something? We can’t process or accept (impotent for all practical purposes either way) foreign currency years after taking over the international routes of the previously acquired carrier. SAD
I do fly the plane thank you very much. That doesn’t change the fact that our VNAV sucks and has for years. Yet the company can’t fix the software? SAD
No. Not every airline’s WiFi sucks. As a matter of fact....of those that I’ve used, all have been functional which is much more than can said for ours a large percentage of the time. It’s been YEARS now that it’s sucked and there seems to be no fix in sight. If I was a paying customer I’d be fuming. SAD
I’ll acknowledge the strengths of our airline but you and some others seem to have a difficult time acknowledging the weaknesses that have dragged on for years.

SW does a lot of things right and a couple things it needs to figure out but the only weakness SW has is you.

All this week they’re doing validation flights. They’ll keep doing it until the FAA is happy and then we’ll be certifiable.
LAX is opening in april so my money is revenue flights starting then. Gives the company March to advertise and sell tickets.

I hate scabs and their past actions just as much as everyone. That said, we had a lot smaller percentage of them than say Continental. Check your facts before you spew. Funny....you assume I’d defend what they did. I won’t. Not even close. Have been a strong unionist for the last two decades and worked as a committee chairman to promote and defend our profession.
I wrote you glorify the airline, not the individuals.
Everyone is tired of your juvenile blathering Whack. Take a hint.
Hawaii should start in March with Check Airman flying until the line guys start in April.

Just another opinion, I think you guys are being way too hard on Whack. It’s ok to love your job, or love your airline and still want them to improve their product for the customers or the employees. Complaining about the VNAV or the lack of in seat power doesn’t mean someone dislikes their job or the company - on the contrary it means they want the company to provide a better product. Knowing it can be better than it is today is ok. Looking critically at our competitors and seeing where we are lacking is ok. Whack is passionate about it, sure - but no moreso than the average line pilot grousing during a long leg. Call me crazy, but his posts don’t get under my skin the way it does some people.

I don’t get offended by anything on social media. He does seem more “negative” than most on this forum or on the line. No idea who he is so not sure if that’s just venting or if he’s one of the few Tranny guys who have nothing nice to say about anything...ever.
