Was this old hag a former CAL or UAL hire? Based on her length of service she is in the sweet spot on the UAL EEOC hiring spree.

The good news is Tucker argued in court that no reasonable person would take his claims seriously. Personally I'm just sad that Tucker's recent claim that literal demons physically attacked him at night, and left claw marks all over back didn't come up. Wouldn't that'd be a great bunkie story? It's also amusing to see the rich kid from a multimillionaire family, who was sent to a boarding school in Geneva and $60,000 per year elite New England prep school complain about how how other people have jobs handed to them on a silver platter based purely on their background, and haven't truly earned their place. I'm sure ole Tucker had a rough time pulling himself up by his bowtie and surely didn't coast on his family's name or achievements!

Also way up the leaderboard for shortest LEC rep term before being successfully recalled.

I just wish y’all had this same energy towards those pilot influencers making us all look like egotistical ass clowns.

I wouldn’t fly with her .PERIOD. If her name came up on my pairing I’d call in sick . If everyone does that, sooner or later they will get the message.
Besides, you would have to be on some serious drugs to believe that bs that came out of her mouth. Pathetic.Seems like UA is always in the news for the wrong reasons.

Comparing a narcissitic but otherwise well-intentioned influencer to people like SW is totally disingenuous. She is lightyears apart in both the content she posts and the damage it does to our profession. The two have no business being discussed in the same sentence, much less being directly compared. I'm no fan of influencers, but I haven't met or seen one whom I think is actively undermining the public's trust in our industry. We may not like them because the stuff they post isn't catered to us, but you can't ignore how the public seems to enjoy and appreciate what they do. Simply put, if there wasn't a market for it, they wouldn't be doing it. Just because we aren't that market doesn't inherently mean what they're doing is wrong, especially in today's society where people use social media the way they do.

The minute I feel like they're compromising our profession, I'll gladly display the same energy. They aren't. SW is. Simple as that.

I’m thinking it was carefully done to avoid violating the social media policy.
you didn’t get all the way through so you missed a whole section where she did, indeed, talk about United and Kirby.

As for Tucker, I can’t help but think the general American public just doesn’t understand. I think he jumped the gun to get a whistleblower’s statement without doing a bit of journalism background checking.

I would have passed on this one. There by the grace of God I go. I find myself starting every trip now with Alan Shepard’s prayer….
There are so few boomers from the lost decade willing to actively mentor the younger generation. Using age 67 is crazy in this circumstance.

Usually, I hear things like “I’m not a check airman.” There are some good pilots that are willing to mentor, but few make the attempt. Instead, they complain about airmanship or generational differences. Ridiculous argument imo.
