I was trying to keep my eyes from rolling out of my head during her podcast appearance. If you’re gonna spend two hours throwing blame at the young whippersnappers and advocating for a higher retirement age, maybe don’t have a DUI in your recent history.

Speaking of influencing—I heard an influencer captain has influenced his way into impregnating a flight attendant and is now being influenced into divorce. Anyone hear that one?


hadn’t heard this one yet. Is this one of our own influencers or OAL?

A DUI is almost as good as a type rating. DWI Douggie had 3 or 4, and he was CEO.


True story.

Ours. Same one who’s kid balled up a Cirrus in SoCal recently. Of course, second hand info from a flight attendant so can’t confirm. I can confirm the crash, just not the pregnancy or divorce LOL.

Like others are pointing out , this place is lost with no real leadership and we have pilots that are focused on someone's hobby.

Elliott owns a big part of Starbucks now and replaced their CEO. They are ruthless. And the in store experience has gotten worse and worse since then.

Nothing good for SW will come from Elliot.

I don’t think anything good was coming without them.
