US Pilots Labor Discussion 3/26- STAY ON TOPIC AND OBSERVE THE RULES

[BoeingBoy]

I agree Metroyet, it certainly explains some of USAPA's actions and the lack of reasoning displayed by some East posters.

BTW, give my condolences to the Bubbas in CLT. As much as they wanted to further their choke hold on the free communication between PHX pilots and their duly elected reps, it didn't work. So Sorry.

I did not recognize the term "Bubbas" that you mentioned were in CLT. I looked it up on a web dictionary and found the following. Is the definition of Bubbas below, the meaning of the noun in the post you so eloquently scribed?

Main Entry: Bub·ba
Pronunciation: \ˈbə-bə\
Function: noun
Etymology: from Bubba, a stereotypical nickname of Southern white males
Date: 1979

often disparaging : redneck

Boeing Boy, you live in the Charlotte area, maybe you can help us with this.

Surely you are aware that the CLT/Piedmont boys call you "cool northern efficient" types "RUSTHEADS" and in return the original AAA refer to the ex Piedmonters as "Bubbas".

No slander...just speaking your language. Any other insights you'd like to comment on in my post you referenced? Any other MORE SUBSTANTIAL area's you'd like to comment on? No?

Shocking.

Enjoy the sleep in the bed that you made. Goodnight.

"In the CLT area" depends on one's geographic view, I suppose. Surely you've heard CLT referred to as the "Hubba Bubba"? In your previous incarnation you must have noticed some not so subtle use of the "Bubba" description? Was it Shark Tooth that used to enjoy making fun of all things southern? How about the jokes that were popular in PIT when the US/PSA/PI mergers were going on - the PSA guys didn't wear socks and the PI guys didn't wear socks or shoes...

Personally, I take it as an amusing compliment. Much better than what we southerners privately say about those people that move down from up North then do nothing but tell everyone how much better it was up there.

Well, we see it as not accepting reality - if it was so much better up north why stay down south? But some people would rather complain I guess. They want to BE in the south but still want to be FROM the north, and complaining about everything is their way of being elitist.

Thought of the day, ctrl+alt+del. I think this would be your best option.

 

[BoeingBoy]

One of the many nice things about retirement is that I can do what I want pretty much when I want, and "ctrl-alt-del" isn't on my bucket list.

[jetjok1]

Ya know what guys? We can point fingers all dang day here! Stop the BS and let's just do something to get guys back. Geez you guys sound so freakin' self-centered with this who's to blame crap!!!! Get over yourself and do something good for someone who needs your help...

ps this post is intended for those gainfully employed in this trainwreck...

Thank you Tiger 1050 for that response. I can't understand what the agenda on the posters (east and west) is. I know YOU and others need our help getting you back on the property and I say I'm here to help get EVERYONE back on the property.

I'd say that if you are off this property, and want to come back to this property, you need to have your head examined. As bad as the east/west relationship is the people who pretend to run this outfit are truly incompetent. I give it a 30% chance of survival even with an economic recovery. And if it does it certainly isn't going to be "merged", regardless of the seniority/lawsuit outcomes.

Find a company that is a real airline folks. Look at your furlough as an opportunity. That's what it is. And think OUTSIDE of the airline pilot box. Car salesmen make more than many of our pilots. That is not speculation. That is truth.

So why don't you quit and go get a sales job?
