Not sure if that would get someone canned or not, but it sure doesn't help being on probation.

Second, there is a big difference between slandering the company on personal social media and saying the delta pilots are this and that for voting in a TA on a public anonymous forum.

I think they could make a case, based on his posting history, to think otherwise. Just a thought. Discretion, discretion.....

Ya'll are really reaching tonight... His posting history doesn't slander the airline.

I've known him for a long time, too. He's a well spoken and mannered pilot. Not to mention his posts on the TA were some of the best written.

If you really want to see a pilot poke a finger in the eye of another group of pilots and their union...

http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/am...-what-now.html

I think what JungleBus said was pretty tame. I really don't blame a single AMR, UCAL or USAir pilot for being perturbed about what we signed off on with the large replacement jets. I think everyone sees through the 50 seater swap out and 717 carrot. And I think the regional pilots see their ability to get out of the regionals as having been significantly hampered.

Wassa matter tsquare - can't stand someone calling 'em like he sees 'em and accurately at that?

Just to be clear, just like mainline pilots has SJS with large Boeing made widebody aircraft, regional pilots are no better when it comes to gigantic E175s and CRJ-900s.

The thing is it doesn't take regional pilots long to realize they'd preferred if the largest airplane they were allowed to have looked like this:



but that's not in their control. we own that responsibility.

747 mods should be finished mid October and they are in no way thin staffed .30 to 40 folks a day on res for 3 departures .
