Funny thing tho.

When you pull up your big boy pants and act the part, stuff gets done.

Strange how that works. 🤷‍♂️

No son, I just understand what my job title actually means.

Because “doing more with less” is literally all I’ve done my entire career.

Nice try tho. You get a gold star for the effort.

 

Not gonna lie tho.

It’s fascinating watching you all trip over yourselves coming up with every and any reason explaining away your deficiencies, rather than, ya know, simply putting your foot down and acting the part the company pays you to play.

Lemme guess… “it’s always been this way…” or “nothing ever changes…” or “I only get paid to move metal….” or “Flight Attendant problem not mine…”

Typical.

 

No Coffee?!? Flight Canceled

no APU?!? Flight Canceled, because it could become a safety issue if we loose a Gen/hydro/bleed in flight. That will show them to fix those things more often.

i’m going to cancel flights faster than liberals can cancel words in the English language.

 

Here I come to save the dayyyyyyyyyyyy

 

your probably one of the captains that completely blows gaskets over the smallest little things. Maybe it’s to make yourself feel important? 4th stripe make ya feel powerful?

 

Probably? Haha. Calling the CP to say he is “canceling” a flight over potable water, I think we are past “probably” and trending “definitely”.

It’s heartwarming to know that coming out of this meltdown we have guys trying to displace more passengers because they want to put their “big boy pants” on and show the man. Does he understand that a flight he tries to cancel in one city will domino to more flights? Such leadership.

 

I remember my RJ days, flying with the real senior dipsh*ts who went out of their way to do whatever they can to delay or cancel flights because “this will fix things”. Last flight of the day and there we are going back to the hotel past all the stranded passengers because a bonding strap on a gear door was “frayed” or something. A real champion of aviation these knuckleheads were. That same guy had no issues telling FA’s how the world worked or would cuss out rampers because they tapped on the side of the plane to get our attention for something. They’d spend the whole four day trip talking about how it’s not fair they never got that call from Delta.

When I got to Spirit it was like night and day the attitudes of the captains I flew with. 9 out of 10 people I flew with took reasonable and systematic approaches to handling difficult situations on the ground and in the air. The few outliers I ran into, it was gonna be a long trip. Sitting in that left seat now, I see the dumb stuff that goes on that I ignored on the right side. It absolutely is eye opening but never once did I think throwing a temper tantrum was going to solve a problem. Maybe cancelling a flight over water is an option when you just don’t try hard enough.

 

Is this a written policy or just something you're doing on your own? At my old.job, we had a minimum catering matrix for flights over a certain distance, but can't find anything in our manuals here.

 

yikes. Probably the same guy that puts his hand on the flap lever as PM whenever he wants the flaps moved
