He can say MD88 if he wants to. He can reflect back on what he enjoyed doing....blah blah blah.

None of us have much of a contract. To argue with that would be fruitless indeed.
Yup.. it would be a fruitless discussion. As to your contention that it was flamebait, it was anything but. And I guess you are right too that he can call himself anything from an NFL linebacker to a man from Mars, but don't you find it odd if he called himself an MD88 FO??? The most junior position at DAL? Of course I guess there are also guys who wax nostalgic for the days of 6-7 legs/day flying Banderantes too.. Where is THAT guy?

I think labbats is an Allegiant pilot- not 100% sure though.

Believe it or not, there are other airlines in the world. Some of them even fly MDs too.

Yes. Allegiant pilot. I'll be sure and proofread all future posts to avoid offending any of you sensitive posters.

labbats,

I don't think that what you said is the problem.

While we're looking so closely at what we type beside our names perhaps you should look at yours and stop caring about nothing.

I typed MD80 FO. I didn't realize the earth stopped when I did.

You are a funny boy, but since you want to keep this wound open, I find it very interesting that a pilot would mistype the type of aircraft that he flies. So my question to you is this: Are you really a pilot, and for whom do you fly? Personally, the way you are jumping on me for basically nothing, I think you are little more than a troll, but that's just my opinion.

But I Will give you the courtesy of explaining why it is that I questioned you in the first place. You stated that your contract was crap and that you flew MD88s. IF you fly MD88s, you fly for Delta. I defy you to find an overall better contract currently in the industry. Therefore, I questioned your situational awareness wrt the rest of the industry for that reason. But... since you "mistyped" your aircraft type, I guess my question need not be answered by you. Carry on.

Your actually correct, let's not have "feel good motions" because we shouldn't be a "Glee Club". Strength and unity are an absolute if we want to get an industry leading JCBA. Having pilot's question the AIP, and possibly soon to be TA, before we have any concrete information shows the company that we dont trust our JNC or either MEC Chairman. To me, doing so shows weakness and not strength and is a"Glee Club". Exactly what they (management) want to see and playing into their hands. Now when the appropriate forums are available and we all have been fully briefed by the MEC's and JNC that is the time to raise questions and concerns. Not at this critical juncture.
