The only way to tell for sure is to push a service cart under the parking arm, and see if it stays put.

Yeah, just install one-way tire slashers.

But that doesn't require nearly as many civil slackers to maintain and manage.

Never an excuse. We are responsible for OUR behavior, nobody else. I have a friend who has lost both parents and is going through his second divorce in 2 years. That’s essentially 4 deaths in a two year span. He is reflecting, working out, reading self help books and leaning into therapy. Frankly, I’m sick of the excuses or worse, virtue signaling to show others that we are good guys taking the high road. This behavior should be summarily dismissed as unprofessional and unbecoming of a United pilot.

Don’t know what’s worse axing the parking lot gate arm or inviting the news cameras into your house to flex about what anyone else would have done too…

I know I’m being judgmental asking this but WHY would you get married in the thick losing both your parents AND having already been divorced less than a year prior? WHY not focus on getting the help you need to heal first, and THEN when stable, consider that 2nd marriage. I’m trying to feel bad for the guy, but at the same time it’s hard to be sympathetic.

Where were his friends and family? Were they urging him to not remarry when his own life was upside down? Or were they derelict in not speaking up and guiding him?

With more than half of marriages going down in flames why do so many still think still something that must be accomplished.

If you were an instructor at TK, would you seriously sign off an initial newhire for the LOE if you felt there was a 50-60% chance they would fail it??

Of course you wouldn’t!

Especially since it can’t answer

Just make sure to tape it. If it ever gets out, she’ll put her marketing experience to work, do a whole mea culpa video, taking responsibility for her actions, you’ll NEVER be shown, and NO ONE will be the wiser.

Big serious question; after all this… Why in the world would you meet up at the bar with the pilot who just spent hours telling you their deepest/darkest personal problems?
Better yet, don’t meet up with the dude at the bar BECAUSE he’s on “the list”. I was (properly) taught to not drink with scabs.

Another thing, the cockpit ain’t a confessional. I’d recommend those folks keep it professional and simply show up ready to do the job. If you aren’t ‘fit’, then don’t come to work.
