Getting close to landing the FA was in the cockpit as the other pilot was on a potty break and the FA asks me how the weather is. I told her "Its good except the visibility is down to 3 miles"

Her response "Can the human eye even see something three miles away?"

I respond "You can see the moon can't you"?

She says "Oh ya. I guess you're right"

As a lurker, the two pilot groups bashing each other is one thing but when you start to bash the Flight Attendants you've both moved to a new low individually and collectively.

I thought about saying "we could replace you with a coke machine", but I decided that would be too mean.

(OK...just having a little fun here. I really like our F/A's)
Comments like that aren't unique to either legacy part of this company or any other, for that matter

-United F/A's don't want to work efficient trips (Ever check the seniority of the 3 day trips to China? Those folks have been around since the Nixon administration.)
At DAL many of the super senior FAs have also been around since the Nixon administration--when Nixon was Vice President under Eisenhower!

Too bad all the crews from all the bases stay at same hotel while international ... Often with another 2-4 addionational airline crews.
Sorry. You're incorrect. We don't stay with the FA's in Narita or London.

Lighten up Francis.

This is actually a good exercise in unity.

Something we can all agree on....F/A's say some funny stuff!

Go back to lurking until you find your sense of humor!

I saw it for what it was, another bash of L-Cal. A common theme of this board. That is some unity exercise. Where is my pin again?

Read the original post again. I mentioned UAL F/A's too.

You guys are sooooooo sensitive.

Go tell it to Oprah. Bring your tissue box.

Geez...

The FA I spoke of was L-UAL so tell me again how this is bashing L-CAL?

The question "Can the human eye see something three miles away" to me is a fundamental lack of understanding of how the eye (a passive system) works. Since you can see light from stars that are millions of light years away, I can't imagine an educated person actually thinking this, let alone saying it out loud.

Most LUAL guys have been around long enough to not go dipping our pen in company ink
