Then you have the gall to ridicule the UAL pilots for demanding high quality maintenance standards. It's a good thing your planes are newer...

If you're a real pilot you'll understand that the exterior paint mismatches carry no negative connotations for the maintenance status of the plane.

I've never been given grief for writing something up, nor hesitate to do so, and neither do 95% of my peers. Go have a beer Axl, you sound like you could use one or ten.

If you knew what you were "talking about" Axe, you'd have the "cranium enough" to realize it was a DC-10, not a 757. Outside of that, your tort reaked of poor-form.

Seriously, grow up.

Sorry, I just don't drink that much. And even if I did, I wouldn't use alcohol the way you nonchalantly suggest.

My experience in with your mechanics suggest you are in the minority. I've heard my Captains being informed that 'if you were a Continental captain you would be replaced'. I guess they are all just making this stuff up.

The bottom line is that the maintenance condition of our planes is NOT what you insinuated. If it were, that plane would still be at the gate.

I'd expect that from "Staller"......Not from you.

Call it an evening & start fresh tomorrow. Totaling TOS Violation Points is 'no bueno'. I enjoy reading some of your post's, don't want you to get 86'ed.
