the "if we act they'll never fix it" applies to safety, too: "why address that? not MY job, i got plane here, next guy's problem not mine"...what a douche

not only a miserable human, a lousy airline pilot and captain

turds like this should read ALPA ethics code...pax safety and welfare IS our responsibility ...

if one hates people so much, go fly freight...our fellow humans aren't just our responsibility, they're also our livelihoods

 

I'll never understand the anger I get for telling people to just do what they are required to do and nothing else.

 

Others don't understand the anger express when someone does something beyond the minimum spelled out in the contract to simply be nice to others. Doing things like answering passenger questions or helping them find their gate isn't required or being part of the problem, it's just not being a dick. Some guy bought some pizzas. Don't see the big deal.

 

Because it's a garbage take. Fortunately, 99 out of a 100 people subjected to your idiocy have you figured out for the boat-anchor to this pilot group that you really are. But you might actually convince that 1 in 100 impressionable pilot that screwing over hundreds of our fellow humans, our customers, is ok as long as the contract lets you get away with it.

 

well said friend

 

​​​​​​​You’re both right.

The company doesn’t fix anything, or really even notice unless it costs them money. If guppy pilots would run the damn APU and keep the airplane cool, maybe they’d do something about fixing the ground air. We’ve only been battling this problem for the last decade(s).

This situation however was a medical emergency/diversion that left everyone in a tight spot. No one failed at anything, it was just a feces sandwich and the Captain stepped up.

 

Archiee isn't even a UAL pilot, he's at American. Which explains so much about both him, and American.

​​​​​​​He's almost certainly a passed over UAL applicant. Glad to see our HR screening caught one of the bad ones.

 

Just wait till you interact with the local "guppy" driver guy on here. He's even worse than Archie.

He spent the first half of this thread crapping on the captain because the guy did something kind and selfless.

 

listen up private Pyle. You’re wading into dangerous waters with the slander. My issue is/was the way the COMPANY treats its employees privately vs what they say publicly. I even stated I’d do the same. So perhaps keep your idiotic opinions to yourself private Pyle. Your lack of reading comprehension is only eclipsed by your lack of industry experience.

 

New to UA, but aviation since 1990. Have always firmly hold on to: "if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem". I believe you can't complain if you don't actively try to solve. You believe doing the minimum is the way. Your attitude will guarantee no change will ever happen. I would never walk of the plane without making sure DC/AC were hooked up for the next crew. Half the planes I walked onto had the APU running, external power and air connected. So, obviously, what I did had zero effect. But I sure as $#!t feel better going below the wing and trying, and writing those emails about the air not getting hooked up. Yes, we are paid by the hour. But all of us compare ourselves not to the janitor or the nurse, but to the doctor or attorny. Would you be happy if you heard your doctor or attorney say:'I'll never understand the anger I get for telling people to just do what they are required to do and nothing else"
