Because that is at all relevant to the discussion? Nice attempt at a purse slap. The last two posters sound like whiney hurt feelings snowflake btches. Your boys f’d Up then made a REALLY stupid public statement to put a cherry on top. That is the part that everyone is talking about.

Not that it matters because pilots of all experience levels make mistakes, but here is one that’ll meet the recency requirements. I’m sure it’s up for debate on this forum, but in my opinion, the egregiousness of showing up work unfit for duty far exceeds a sloppy PIREP.

Are you 14yrs old or just trolling for chuckles?

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.

Good luck. Our great leadership just inked the CPA with Air Wisconsin a year ago this month. It runs though Feb 2023. "RJ" Kirby says we need more feed! Our CRJ200 count is increasing by 40 A/C year over year in 2018. The overall RJ count by 31 A/C.

A few years ago when I was instructing, I was doing a typical new-to-aviation-weather-products lesson with my wide eyed and innocent private pilot student. Upon opening aviationweather.gov, my eyes fell on a UUA for Severe Turbulence. "How strange!" I thought. In an instant my student's innocence was ripped from his head when I clicked on the link and beheld: TP 737 TURB SEV RMK GETTING BEAT DOWN LIKE A BLEEPING CIRCUS MONKEY.

Its relevant because the same hiring practices that put that guy in a United cockpit are still alive and well at UA, AA, and DL.

I don't understand why we are beating down ZW or each other for that matter.

I'm a visual type. I understand the visual of pax vomiting or pounding circus monkeys. Seat belt sign on crank temp down a bit.

Years ago a UAL flight did a pirep that they saw Elvis in the approach lights going into MEM at night. I confess that for months after it would be the F/Os leg going into MEM so I could get a better look and maybe spot him. Never did.

If you can't have fun or take a joke why did you even bother to get into this industry?
