Intern? Really
He bashes all RJ pilots and he was an Intern?

 

Not to perpetuate this any longer, but as a southerner I gotta say...

 

I have never been to other other forum, but nice call. Staller is NS?
Not sure, but I definitely don't disagree. Staller was a 570. Hired in 85. Some of the 570 were hired at an EXTREMELY young age. 21-22 Gary K was another one. Staller also vehemently defends GK, so guessing he is either NS or GK is probably not a bad guess.

Whether he is GK or NS, he is most definitely a DB.

Hi Staller.

 

Sniper,

You're completely wrong. He doesn't bash RJ pilots. He has bashed RJ pilots contracts and has tried to raise their expectations of what a mainline contract ought to look like. He tries to raise the bar for all of us. His arguments are forceful and direct. Perhaps you ought to re read his posts and/or work on your reading comprehension? Or better yet, call him out on the other forum and ask for him an explanation of his position? Is he irascible at times? Sure. So were Lyndon Johnson, George Patton and Rick Dubinsky. There is plenty of room for fervent disagreement and strongly held viewpoints.

Believe me, I am no apologist for him and have been on the reaming end of his rebukes many, many times. You should try it. You might learn something if you're not too thinned skinned and are willing to attach some historical perspective to management / pilot relations since deregulation. Its a forum, not a cotillion!

If I were to get into a wringer with the flight office, he would be the first or second guy on my list of reps to walk into the chief pilots office with. Of course, thats not an option. But it is an endorsement.

So what if he was an intern? He busted his ass and got lucky. Who do you want on your side? A pitbull or a pomeranian?

 

Mom says to call home, Staller says hi and to make sure you read "Flying the Line". Did you ever find out who the "Tracy Aces" were?

Just to make sure you're not confused, the Mason Dixon Line is not that yellow line in the middle of the road leading out of town.


Slick - a southern reference to a questionable individuals motives.

 

I agree with you to some extend.

However,

Just pointing out how he reacts at the forum.

I disagree with you, from my reading of his post he does insult RJ pilots who spend years at regionals.

Not need to talk to him and no need to have him represent me, way to negative, and I hope I will never need a representation.

Just reading his post does not impress me.

Anyway,

For an intern to degrade newbies with **** load more experience than he had when he got hired is unacceptable my friend.

My 2c

 

It was actually about 75% retro. Not sure where you got 25%.

As for your concern with LOA 25, like others, I don't remember you ever mentioning it, but I sure do remember and can post divisive missives in which you denigrated the value of certain pilots' time on furlough.

As those on the CALForum know you are having a difficult time adjusting to your representational lame duck status.

 

As you can tell, I never post, just come on the forum occasionally to get educated on certain subjects - like the TA.

I have to say though, I am shocked at the behavior of some people on this post.

Note to moderator: Allen Allert should be banned from this thread and the entire forum if that is possible. A more divisive, caustic and misguided DB I have never met.

Phew...that made me feel a little better...please...continue

 

"Carpet Bagger" more refers to the hordes of folks pouring into the south from all parts, but typically Yankees, for economic gain using often questionable methods. (Think the snake oil salesman in the "Outlaw Josey Wales" 1976 Clint Eastwood movie)
