This was one of the comments replying to the news article.. I really hope this is sarcasm, but if this is serious.. Really?

Yes, that's all we do.. Bs on our phones the whole flight, take naps, then play on our laptops.. These planes just fly themselves these days.. Pilots play no role in safety.. I just somehow think this person is serious.. Thus making him/her a total moron..

How did the interviews go last Friday?

Good luck to those who interviewed! Let us know who made it.
I believe a new class started Monday, congrats to them!

Hey guys, I need help getting in contact with a Spirit pilot named T. Tuite. I flew with him years ago at Mesa and want to touch base with him. I will gladly send a pm with my contact info to anyone that can get it to him. Sorry for the thread drift.

And how is this related to NKS?

Whats the deal?? 9 Canceled flights today - roughly 50% on time? is this status quo or still reeling from the fuel debacle?

Asked a delta guy today about their fueling procedures. They dont require a crew member to be on board when fueling is in progress. Whats with the different set of rules the FAA is forcing us under.

I've worked for several different airlines over the course of my career and this is the only company (NKS) that requires a pilot on board during refueling (with pax on board). However none of the other companies had Airbus equipment.
Is this an Airbus thing?

Nope. We ****ed off the FAA, and this is the result. One of those "won the battle, lost the war" situations.
