I can take ball busting as much as I can give it....and you're right...its fun when I'm bored. I don't want to actually p*ss anyone off or make myself sound like a pr*ck though. I can assume you, I am not.

I have a lot to learn still and value the more experienced guys info and advice on here. When the time comes, I may just take you up on that offer!

Sorry to OP for derailing the thread.

The littlest things like calling for push seem to be next to impossible for more than a few these days and it’s maddening.

Well probably because they dont call for push at ATP Flight School

You should start a thread at the website below...lol

I'd say 9 out of 10 guys I fly with don't check in with ground and/or approach with the ATIS letter, causing the controller to ask if we have it. Why is that so hard?

my favorite is when ATC asks what your Mach number is, The pilot tells them, then they add all this extra unnecessary chatter by asking what they need, as if ATC is going to keep it a secret from you…. Like why the F do you waste your breath?

I think a lot of pilots pick up a lot of "pilot lingo" over time on the radio and sometimes it gets worked into their own personal bank. I just hope "only a nibble" doesn't get worked in when describing bumps! Heard that one a few times.......uggh!

When people like me say things like that, it's because we are fighting for a better contract because this is our careers. We are not interested in chasing greener grass, we want to make our own yard better. For ourselves and the rest of you. So don't tell me to "Go back to my regional" (I can't) or "Go to Delta." Don't you want to make it better for yourselves here too?

Do you still actually believe that? With the benefit of hindsight do you still actually believe they wouldn’t have come back to the table with something better?

I promise not to turn this into a HAHA see I told you thing. It seems I don’t fly with that many yes voters, but the one who said he did vote yes straight up told me if he had it to do again he would have voted no… and I hadn’t even told him how I voted.

There’s still a chance something happens. Q1 report says that NEO engine issues and pilot attrition is big factor for our loss. Maybe they offer something else to help stem attrition? Who knows

No one is forcing you to stay here…. You’re free to leave and go back to your regional then. Enjoy!

Hey anyone know why we don’t do international flights out of ATL? Seem like we could do well against Delta.

If there are any grammar police here I’m sorry I’m kinda in a hurry and don’t have time to proof read. And yes my phone does autocorrect sometimes and it’s not always accurate. So please let me off with a warning this time.

hey that grammar police position isn’t to be taken lightly. Some people really do sleep better at night knowing they made a different in the anonymous online forums. However I can help, I’m happy to have him indulge me.
