2014 Pilot Discussion

Check.  What more could you possibly want, except the disdain of your fellow pilots?  Oh, Check.   😀

 
The only pilots I disdain are the dimwits. Checkmate.

I was the only one on this web board with the vision to see and predict how Nicolau was going to rule.
 
How many DOH petitions did you sign?  

And then you said USAPA would not get 200 cards. You saw the Nicolau Train come into the station, you did not see the east pilots blow up the bridge it was about to try and cross.

Geez, I thought Munn was you boyfriend.

 You don't have to upgrade.   

You sure, does AA still have that up or out policy because he is afraid to upgrade.

I believe they still have that policy.  The question is:  Once you upgrade and "prove" you can do it, can you then bid back to right seat for quality of life issues?
 
Although Traitor and I rarely see eye-to-eye on anything, I do believe he has flown captain already at this airline.  (I'm sure he will correct me if I'm wrong....likely within a few seconds.)
 
I think this particular line of attack is off-base anyway.
 
Also, his "daddy" (a real gentleman, BTW) didn't "staple the Empire pilots" any more than any other Piedmont line pilot at the time did.  If he is guilty of that, than pretty much every pilot here who worked at Piedmont prior to the Empire pilots coming on board are equally guilty.  But really, the only "guilty" Piedmont pilots are those in the PI MEC at the time, headed by Don MacGregor.  The rank-and-file had no vote.

Metrojet and Airbus Captain in 2000 and 2001. 
 
Everyone liked my father, I'm making up for it.
 
I still can't picture who you are.
 
An American pilot told me they did away with the up or out policy, guys didn't like being forced onto Reserve.

You retreated to the safety of an ad hominem attack (using the word "dimwhitt" 🙂 )...and declared victory.

That's like blurting out "checkmate" during a game of chess, immediately after you castle.

Geez, I hope you are not going to want to us to take the NIC also.

From the postings by east pilots here, it sounds like the Nic was actually offered to the west way back at Wye River.
 
So, then, what's your beef?

They want to be first in line for everything because they saved us...

You're the one full of half truths.
 
How about Delta Northwest?
 
USAirways America West?
 
USAirways Shuttle?
 
How many were based on DOH/LOS?

The same number that went straight equipment and status - none.
