NERD

Nicky, not all against this are in their 30s. Some of us are early 50's top 10%. Everyone got an extra 5 , time to enjoy life and retire. I'd support over 65 in a less than 76 jet for those that can't give it up. Y'all would be giving back to the profession as mentors to the next generation.

Nah, the next generation shouldn't have to suffer their jaded rants, horrible advice, and poor leadership.

Well, if nothing else, your generation is tedious.

Same tired 'ol saw....division politics. Good job.

(generational snipes are easy, aren't they) ;>

Maybe some seniority helps, but I haven’t had a swap in a domestic I didn’t ask for in quite some time. That end in a redeye to catch the first flight home is always tempting.

Lol, as if you have the credibility or right to proclaim any such thing.

Well, Nick, you and I are both in our 50's, so I can say it.

Frankly, I think you need another time out for violating the TOS yet again. Not to mention for trolling.

From the TOS:

Mods?

Nick Bradshaw

Can I get a hall pass too, sir? Lol.

I guess I missed the ad that they were looking for help moderating. Is your ego in check?

You might also want to check out the TOS section that says not to call out the mods.

Or you could keep trying to silence me because you don't like what I say on this forum you don't own.

I’ve got one from the company I’d be happy to sell you

FangsF15

LOL, I’ll say the same thing I said back to your unsolicited DM. Behave like an adult, and you won’t have anything to worry about.

Oh, and asking for Mods to step in isn’t a violation of the TOS.

I’m squarely in my mid 40s so I can play both sides.

Get off my lawn you old farts!

Vsop

but can you imagine the great stories they would tell us in a few years?
Did you fly with XYZGuy? Was he like this when he was at mainline?
I think it would go something like:

“I couldn’t believe it! I was getting back to the hotel after a walk. He was in the hotel lobby full uniform on, we weren’t scheduled to leave for another 3 hours.

He was demanding the front desk switch the lobby TV away from the NFL, this was in Green Bay and the packers were playing, because the NFL supported some cause he was opposed to. He was chasing a hotel employee around the lobby constantly complaining that they hadn’t changed the channel yet, and they didn’t have any newspapers out to take and he needed his USAToday.

The poor clerk is trying to avoid him and was briskly walking away. That’s when CA XYZ tripped over one of those hotel carts and scuffed his shoe. He starts demanding that the hotel give him shoe polish or new shoes, and that this crap didn’t happen at the real Delta.

I stupidly, went over and tried to calm him down, but he was out of control waving his arms like a crazy person. That cell phone holster that I thought was glued to his hip flew off his belt and nearly hit the hotel clerk. What a nut!”

Edit: yes I have personally witnessed each of these things individually just not all at once. Also apologies if anyone has the XYZ screen name it was meant as a placeholder.
