Fear.

You don't want to be the guy that embarassed Newk.

But to be fair, you know that even the wildest of 767s will behave once it feels that first confident tug at the tiller and realizes The Man has control. If you rode horses, you could win the triple crown with a texas longhorn. works in so many ways with your current sidekick.

Was Green Guy the guy trying to pass himself off as a Green Book guy? Or was that something different.

Don't forget Carl Spakler, Tsquared030, 80buzznftbs.

That last one was just here to post pictures of his girl.



Gosh I really hated that guy and miss his posts.

What keeps somebody from just coming up with a new user name and acting equally d-bag-ish?
Violated the TOS for the last time. I banned him.

DPJ has pilots and aircraft, make no mistake about that, but it is not the majority of what they manage.

Kind of a quagmire.

Some say its a win because we limit them to five jets, many say its a loss because the company agreed to cease and desist, and now they are codified in the PWA.

Water over the dam either way.
I guess. I just wish we had refused to budge on that one. Those owners have no more leverage that any others in the drastically overpopulated fractional world. If they want the work, they will throw their "employed" pilots under the bus in a second to get the contract and we would have no problem replacing them with a company who takes our pilots as we should have required. Amortizing the training costs for DAL over the operation considering the small number of positions would be nothing. I would have conceeded longer training freezes and even the company getting to interview SL pilots for the positions before I agreed to outsource them. Those were good jobs in big jets that we gave away for nothing. The company blatantly violated our scope and because of our constructive acquiescence several dozen non union pilots have jobs our SL pilots will never have. Added bonus, if we furlough they won't take us unless we resign.

Water under the bridge...only until next contract. I want that GW limit reduced. 99.9K lbs jets outsourced to non union off listers is a must fix (assuming anyone else cares).

Depends on the window.

2900+ pilots in 4-5 years? You'll get it in indoc or after your 1 year freeze for sure. More stagnation and small run stop gap hiring here and there every couple years? Probably 5+ years.

I ignored peastain. I found Bacon sometimes mildly humorous, sometimes way off the mark, sometimes on the mark, frequently pushing a DPA agenda at all costs, but had no idea he was caustic enough to get banned.

From his Avatar we can only assume it is his being a Captain in the nation of smooth.

Three things Superpilot92 can't go for:
(1) Being twice as nice
(2) Just repeating the same old lines
(3) Bad landings in the 767
