2015 Pilot Discussion.

America West Airlines, in an unusual deal, has loaned two of its jets with crews to strike-bound Ansett Airlines, an Australian carrier that owns one-fifth of America West's stock.

The transaction comes at a time when Congress is looking into airline acquisitions, including the relationships between foreign and U.S. airlines. Although the deal hasn't aroused any concern, it is an example of how closely U.S. and foreign airlines can work together.

The deal, a first for Phoenix-based America West, was vital to Ansett, crippled by a 2-month-old labor dispute with its pilots. America West had never leased aircraft to another airline and had to postpone expansion plans to make the Boeing 737s available to Ansett.

Yet America West President Michael Conway said he was happy to help Ansett and has no sympathy for the Australian pilots who quit their jobs after failing to win huge wage increases--an action that shut down virtually all of that nation's domestic flights.

I have on good source Nic4us is an actual scab.

Your real problem children have left the board due to the Global Settlement. Ferguson, Koontz, Vasin, Simmons, Poof, gone.
They scurried away like the rats they are.....
 
No problem for me Brother. I never wanted to see this internecine insanity bloom in the first place, nor I'd think did you or any of us really....umm...but when ferociously set upon by not only just "spartan soldiers", but "battle"-tested-"knights" and even "dire wolves"....what else could we do?  One thing I'll always owe the...umm..."Army" of leonidas and it's "hewoic" widdle "soldiers"; If ever in need of easy chuckles; I'll always have them to laugh at for the rest of of my life. ;)

.......  I think you were bamboozled by scabford and his now rich attorney who milked the east for 10s of millions $ only to be fired and sued by the same scab union he led down the guilty DFR trail.
 
And I think "you'se" are a many times proven village idiot. Merely "10s of millions $" in your latest fantasies?....Whatever happened to the literally, and I directly quote "Billions of dollars in damages" that you insanely posted long ago?...Or do "you'se" simply adjust your deranged idiocy on a daily market basis?
 
"I think you were bamboozled"? The east were "bamboozled"?...Seriously? Nine full years and change after the nic "award", and "you'se" are still stuck in your self-described and often piteously bemoaned little "Fishbowl" without not whole "Billions in damages" but really nothing to show for all your insanely self righteous, purely greedy and utterly childish BS.  Sigh...I think you were tragically born so permanently impaired as to never be afforded the slightest clue about how to even begin to process this "reality thing"....

I've no idea how this will end as yet, nor can anyone outside of the arbitrators' panel have any real clue as yet, but I hope the ending will prove at least workable for all concerned. The true tragedy in all this nonsense lay simply in not having nearly enough actually rational people involved from the start of it all....I mean seriously folks; the wholly imaginary "Army" of Leonidas?/"knights" who've "heroically" only ever "fought" inside Fantasyland?/"spartan solders"/even "dire wolves" and a group "philosophy" based on "heroic" T-shirts and pathetically ridiculous ties?...Seriously? To see something of this sort play out for a full decade's been plain past parody, and hardly served to demonstrate "the better nature of our angels" among any/all of us. 
 
Bean; you were always one of the very few from the west actually worth even trying to "talk to/with" on these boards, and I wish everyone successful, safe and decent careers. I believe it would've been a true pleasure to fly with you anytime during this past decade, but life et al forever "is what it is"/etc. Per "and no I don't expect to be a captain."?...I hope you become one in fairly short order (not ahead of my east brethren that have more years already invested, of course) as a sufficiency of us aged dinosaurs wondering off to the "brutal" tar pit of retirement ensures a lot of empty seats to fill in the immediately upcoming years in any case.
 
My best to you and your family Bean. Take Care/Fly Safe/"Live long and prosper"/etc. ;)
 
Ok. For the record. Beancounter is not me, I am Bean. Eastus, I haven't posted here in months. beancounter, signing his/ her name as Bean is seriously lacking an identity crisis. I wouldn't take another mans credibility to try and make a point. Therefore, anyone trying to speak on behalf of me should just go ahead and not do that again.
 
Also, I am an originally hired America West guy. This beancounter guy states he went through training in Charlotte. What the hell?
 
East, I stand behind my remarks to you said months, hell, perhaps over a year ago. That will never change. Just remember my call sign is Bean, period. Anyone with a similarly sounding call sign should be treated with caution.
 
Mr. Bean
Not to be confused with Beancounter. My kids love your movies.
Thanks for bringing some humor to this forum.
My name is BigWood, not to be confused with little wood "ParKirby"
 
Thirty-eight LUS retirements between June 2 and July 18 according to the LUS retired pilots association. Great place to be for a new hire.

That's funny. Mr. Bean movies are really enjoyable, especially if you watch them on an airplane sitting in coach without enough cash to buy earphones, back when they played on the monitors hanging from the ceiling and went around collecting earphone money, sitting next to people not watching the soundless movie. It was a church laughter moment for me decades ago, way before any of this started to pay off! Good times.
 
Also, for the record, I see Beancounter has been posting here for years and probably has been signing off with Bean for those said years. Looks like I am the guy that tried to steal his/her identity.

Sorry Beancounter!

I thought you were trying to impersonate me, while it looks like the exact opposite to you I imagine. I wasn't trying to do that of course. My id comes from a nickname of a good buddy I lost years ago. My apologies.
 
One other thing, Beancounter. I see you obviously flew Metroliners. So did I. 3's and 4's. We might actually be the same person after all.

Talk about small world.

Looks like you are...Nothing new in that sort of behavior to see from "sparta" really.
