He probably thought he was in the Snickers thread.

It amazes me how many pilots are calling the change good and bad. I feel that any pilot that would rather be in a shopping plaza than on the beach at work is a *****. I don't know if you fall into that group or not. Only you know that. I am under the impression from reading the ALPA message boards that we changed hotels due to complaints. It is what it is, and I stand by my comments. I love beer and gorgeous women in bikinis. I hate shopping plazas.

Hockey, for the record, no, I never complained about the previous hotel. I really enjoyed it, as a matter of fact. Secondly, I moved on from high-priced tourist bars and drinks with umbrellas in them after a few college spring breaks in FLL several years ago. I get the beach thing, I'm about 15 minutes from SoCal beaches and attractive women. Finally, I think its a matter of perspective. I was simply responding to another brother poster asking about the hotel change and was trying to turn him onto the benefits of our new location.

Why don't you take a breath before you call your fellow pilots pussies and assume that complaints are the reason for the change?

That's the bumper sticker I want to put on our minivan right there...

That and "Delta pilots are not p...ies. Especially not Buzz or NewK"

I think they'd look nice next to my wife's spay & neuter stickers.

I knew it would not shed a good light on the industry, but I didn't think it would blame air travel for single handedly destroying the environment. We're murderers you know.

And, whatever you do, DO NOT come to the 73 in LA. It's horrible. The pax are ****ed, the pilots are stupid, and you never stay in nice hotels. Don't do it! Its a Boeing, for God's sake, why would you want to fly it?(Just saying).
I love this and have to post it whenever I can,,,,,,

Yes, Buzz you are right....

What a complete waste of time to watch. I changed the channel before it was even over. They should have titled the episode, "An Inconvenient Sky."
