So-named because the fancy suitcases/satchels they carried (fashionable, at the time) were made of material that looked like "carpet."

So, anyone similarly outfitted (with Northern fashions) was termed a carpet-bagger.

Be careful - some may think you're trying to educate.

Not sure, but I definitely don't disagree. Staller was a 570. Hired in 85. Some of the 570 were hired at an EXTREMELY young age. 21-22 Gary K was another one. Staller also vehemently defends GK, so guessing he is either NS or GK is probably not a bad guess.

Whether he is GK or NS, he is most definitely a DB.

Hi Staller.
So he's not RF??

Definitely is RF. And obviously, not a 570.

Not that one - the one that allows SCABS.

You then cast an insult and have to go to trouble of defining that insult so everyone knows it's an insult. Yet you claim the moral high ground? I feel sorry for the people trapped in the cockpit with you. Bet you fly with a lot of reserves and have some of the best crossword and well read pilots sitting next to you.
Same guy who questioned all this backstreet, word of mouth about mettings with Oscar only to be proven an idiot a day and a half later by official emails from United about Oscar meeting with top-level managers. He speaks out of his a$$ constantly preaching about sourcing of info only to be proven the idiot he is. Let's please name AllenAlert "Oliver Stone". He's all noise and no substance. Like I said, the vocal .21%.

Whatever the opposite of "credible" is, Allen Alert is. But please forgive me....I live just slightly north of I-10 so maybe I'm slightly smarter than those in IAH. Allen, please post your u# so I can bid to fly with you some can chat about this further.
