After a well deserved vacation reading APC is amusing. It looks like some of you are less than pleased with Ackerman. (The dumb and dumber pic WAS funny)

Are any of you doing anything about it? Or are you just beotching on APC?

Is that before a redeye? Because you know, starting at 8pm, sitting in an airport and then flying to 8am is safer than starting at 1am and only being able to go to 9am.

The only thing good to come out of these rest rules is not being able to move our showtime. At least we run late so often we time out before it's an issue. With all this "weather" we've had.

No, scheduled for like a 2 hour and 40 minute break; but the inbound bird was running late.

Nope just whining and *****ing on APC about it. Still haven't heard what we got for tossing the contract in the toilet for a couple of days in June.

You said it's a good thing ours are getting it, I said something like another win for aviation security.
Totally agree.

Drops the phone (my add) and walks away with 145 open mouths.

Has anyone experienced this?

To his credit, the one thing that bothers everyone, generalizing here, is the AM visit to the lavatory after the coffee and the banana that people do.
If it's the same person, I thought he got his wee-wee smacked by management for doing this act a few months ago after a pax filmed his act and e-mailed it in to Spirit's complaint line. But he's been doing it for a while.

No...... You need to tell him. It's bad enough the zoo our customers have to put up with, only to be scolded when they've finally found their seats. It would not inspire much confidence in me to know the guy in charge of my life were such a fruit loop! How embarrassing to the rest of us! How these guys get through is a mystery.

Where is he based?

Why are FOs not telling this guy to stop messing with pax. Hopefully he gets ripped on relentlessly every time he sits down after one of those tirades. I know I'd be happy to let him know how I felt about it. What a knob!
