Airbus A320: An advanced systems guide

Search for it in iBooks. He's got a website too.

Why not just get one that says "Dumb A$$" ? It sends the same message to passengers. Can I fly an OT trip to cover the cost?

I agree with ramrod.

At some point it stops being a joke and you start to believe it.

Even if you sport it ironically it's still as stupid as beanie when it's 90 degrees out.

Even if our management thinks we are low tier we need to be professionals. Dress for the job you want. This is as bad as the FO that carries his iPad in a string gym backpack or the pilot that carries his around in the back of his pants, or the guys that wear black sneakers, or the yellower than white shirt I saw today. Sure, maybe the public doesn't give a fukc but when we display ourselves as a bunch of idiots that don't know what the hell we're doing pretty hard to win hearts and minds while trying to get a 100% raise.

The lanyard says "not discount pilots". Let's not prove we are. Be a professional, act like a professional, work like a professional. If we go out late, go out late. If they can't cover flights, then they can't cover it. If they can't keep an airplane maintained to avoid a bunch of write ups on every leg for every little lite or placard or major discrepancy, then that's their problem. It's our job to hold them accountable because we are the professionals they hired to do that. That's why we demand to be paid like professionals.

Delta just ratified a nice contract. Their management didn't want to give it to them. Maybe it (the way they present themselves and operate in the cockpit) didn't help them at all, but do you think if they looked like a bunch of 36th street cargo hacks it would have?

Our CEO sees us that way. He wants to pay us that way. Let's not embrace it with a bag tag that goes past an inside joke and makes it a reality.

Yes, I was at Eagle when it was the real Eagle and no I am not joking. I seriously see a better path for at least the bottom half of your list at Envoy with the flow.
