Not even close to FedEx. Most of the senior guys I fly have actually made comments that since 2014 we’ve hired a bunch of guys with big airline experience and they want the younger crowd to start helping. However, seems like the EB is not necessarily opened to it— I hear this from lots of newbies that want to help— I haven’t ask to help cus I have lots of stuff going at home.
we can’t keep living in the past, airlines are fluid and so should we. Look at the optimizer, BOOM, how do we adapt to that with 2006 expertise? We have to adapt to change and start coming up with new and fresh ideas. Even the management from what I hear is not even close to the terror of the past. So come on, let’s be real, we have tons of talent with legacy experience. We can use new and old to come up with great results.
not 700 dollars/$HR cus UPS won’t respect the language and we are run by truckers. Time to stop that BS

 

I was referring to the ones no longer on the seniority list.

 

How about starting with identifying the actual problem before trying to fix it vs putting a blindfold on an archer and hoping they hit bullseye…. 🤷‍♂️

 

You have a Scheduling Chair with multiple years of experience using it at a previous airline, that's how...

 

Which by definition means he wasn’t here in 2006.

 

Is that the reason the previous chair was asked to resign?

 

Have no idea.

 

Joachim, ,
You seem to come across as a bit of a snowflake. Why would you care if a retiree posts on the B&G?. And what do they say that seems to bother you so much?I’ve said it before, a retiree can convey information or opine on many subjects that can get an active line pilot fired. If an active pilot promotes a certain course of action, or inaction, he could get fired. If a retiree says the same thing, no repercussions. So why is allowing retiress’s access such a bad thing?. Chess not checkers. Read into some of the posts and try to decipher what is being said.

 

A couple retirees ruin it for everyone…spending hours turning everything political. Everyone knows who they are.

 

I was suggesting to have a section reserved for current pilots to encourage those who stay in the woodwork and not banning retirees as a whole. Really, a somewhat stricter moderation policy would probably take care of most issues. As others have said, it is only a few loud barrels who tend to derail discussion and clog up the site as if they own the place.
