You're lucky. I experienced the same for quite a long time, but the last few months have been different. I won't go into the details of the antics but will just say they were severely unprofessional and completely unprovoked. Hell, I don't even wear IBT garb.

That said, it certainly isn't everyone. They have some great people over there too. I guess the angry-nasties just tend to stand out, and seem to be increasing lately. It's too bad, I really used to love F9 when I was entering the industry.

Sea Rider, did you graduate from Purdue University? Entitlement kind of guy you are. Take anybodies flying from them as long as it benefits you.

IBT we stand! One list(JOKE), One voice(Joke), One contract(Joke)!

How do I sign up for Purdue U and be cool like you!

Bolo

How many of those nice 190's are going to be flying for F9 by April 2013?
One or two at the most! BYE,BYE!

Bolo

Go Purdue U! You tell it like it is tough guy!
I am a proud pilot, with my RAH pilot hat and chest held up high, with business cards that say "I am a cool Pilot."

Is this hearsay that your pilots are being treated badly by F9 pilots? Every pilot is welcome on my aircraft without ANY political BS!

That article does not prove that RAH isn't in negotiations with AMR for large RJ flying. I think it's very possibe that they are negotiating. Bedford is scrambling for any contract flying he can get. The Midwest/Frontier experiment has blown up in his face.

Easy there Yoda. Has it all figured out, you do. Argue with substance, you do not.

I didn't buy F9. I didn't propose a seniority list integration nor rule on one. I didn't make a back-room deal, nor sue you for it. I got hosed in the integration but am intelligent enough to not be angry towards those senior to me, even if I think they shouldn't be.

Fast forward to relevance to the OP...If we experience growth due to some deal with AA, I didn't make it. I don't want it even if it means an upgrade...I want the jobs to stay at mainline. If AA thinks the 190 or 170/175 is good airplane for their business, then buy them and hire our pilots, SkyWest pilots, A. Eagle pilots etc. etc. to fly them at appropriate rates.

To blame me, as you Bolo and theaviator does, has so many logical fallacies it is scary you don't see it.

Of course those who wish to be angry will always find ways to justify it, and outlets to which to display it.

Entitlement is incorrect Bolo, I came here to "pay my dues" like all you F9 guys say you did. The proud chest-puffed, IBT-chanting picture you paint speaks to how very little you know of our pilot group.

SeaRider

Not hearsay Bolo, I was speaking of personal experiences I've had. If what you say is true, good on ya! Unfortunately, some of your angry brothers behave a little differently. And I agree...political BS should be left at home. It has no place in the cockpit, jet bridge, crew room etc.

Oskeewowow

Just like USA3000, right Bolo? Or maybe they didn't pay their dues...

SeaRider

Zing!!

What of this Bolo? What a sense of entitlement you have to take that flying!

Bolo

They did pay their dues! We would most likely have hired them, but of course the IBT melee got in the way. Cannot hire off the street until we separate. Which is coming by the way! So on this one, I blame the IBT local 357.

Bottom line here, you got the Q-400 operation and next will most likely be the AE pilot group.

So zing that SEA Rider!
