What's the hold up?

My point was flying ETOPS isn't hard, but getting an ETOPS Cert, like Pimp'in, ain't easy.

Oh, and Alaska asked me if I applied to SWA because I had a 737 type, I said no. Why would I want to commute? No, I am not a new hire. Next question.


I was hoping you could tell us what the hold up is. You obviously know a lot about ETOPS. How long did it take you to get Alaska certified? Please teach us the magic of flying over water.

Do you fellas need to borrow a ruler?

Because this isn’t your religion or your favorite football team. It’s just a job. As long as the paychecks keep cashing I could not care less who the winners and losers are. I also don’t think one pilot is superior to another based on the logo on their wings. It’s all luck and timing.

Guys, this guy has been around the block, 8 tough months worth of experience....ain't no joke. It would be best to defer to the wisdom and experiences he has to offer.

WE (pilots) couldn't care less when we start flying to hawaii, and WE haven't made any announcements. That's up to management to run the business. We just fly the planes.



You should worry more about your lack of scope than anything else.

Thing is, we’re so hot, if we asked like that, we’d get it. True story.
