it's not like pax pay our salaries or anything, or that one negative experience could drive their next buying decision, right?

but when one is a miserable antisocial human, the personal cost of smiling at someone whose $ permits this amazing avocation we all enjoy is just...too much...poor things! must be hard to go through life like that..cue "I'm perfectly happy ...I insist!" posts

 

he wrote "a lot of guys on here..."

some people on here haven't even left mom's basement, how do you read that as "United pilots ____"?!

 

I mean the entire point of this thread is a UA pilot-centric issue, so... The guy easily made an appointment, so in his mind the frustrations that exist all over - here, UA FB posts, MEC emails, etc - are due to everyone else being a lazy, boomer, POS. He's a high speed army aviator that knows it all now after a couple years, so $hit all over your own pilot group. I'm about as checked out as it gets and I, too, easily made an appointment, but that doesn't negate the fact that it's a $hit show.

Many have dealt with this in the military. Brand new LT shows up all excited to deploy. I'm looking at my sixth and will do anything (almost) not to deploy, so I'm a POS. No, I'm freaking tired and worn out. Almost universally, those gung ho types are the biggest whiners when $hit really gets hard. They just haven't experienced hard yet. This is the same. Dude gets hired at the best time in history, he hasn't seen really anything close to negative in the industry, so the veterans who have been through many and now say, "not my problem management", are labeled a lazy POS.

He's probably right for a small percentage, but he painted with a really big brush - kinda like I just did. But reading his comments just on this thread, he definitely fits a type that some of us have dealt with in our past.

 

See the funny thing is, plenty of people, yourself included, said that it was easy to get in and get seen with minimal effort. Anyone who didn't throw away the postcard or delete the message had plenty of appointments to choose from earlier in the summer. That was my original point. All the "not my problem" and bare minimum guys got really really mad at anyone who disagrees with their viewpoint.

That being said, as much as I appreciate your guys obsession with me over the topic, I'm curious what's next, especially for those who don't order the uniform or guess the size and have to return it and order again.

Seems like it will delay the rollout substantially.

 

So when I go to Indoc next week am I getting fitted for a Brooks Brothers Uniform or M&H?

 

I don’t know (maybe both?), but you won’t be getting a hat for a while, I can tell you that much.

 

Thats not good, was hoping to have one to conceal my receding hairline, lol

 

you’ll probably do both… M&H on day 1/2 and you’ll be responsible for either getting measured by BB at Denver or another showcase location (or self measure) before the Oct 31 deadline…

 

ok thanks……

 

But there are no appointments before 31 October so good luck….
