2015 Pilot Discussion.

[Claxon]

I'll bet you got your short a$$ kicked at the bus stop. Whimp

Are you the former west pilot alpa mec leader johnny mac, who threatened his own pilots by an email that stated
"I fear for your safety" or  threatened a "blanket party" to those that did not agree with him?
 
You wonder why management will stall integration for years to come still?
 
You made your island sir, now sleep in it..

 

[Claxon]

Your thoughts please west pilots?

"Leet-e-gay-shun".... LMFAO
With the earliest implementation of the SLI in the fall of 2016 let's see how long American promised the city fathers to keep the Phoenix and other hubs open till..... 3 years from when?
Oh yea, dec 9, 2013 Would that be when the displacements might be able to begin?
Things that make you say, Hmmmmmm.

You, East and Claxon walk in a bar. Buy the pretty blonde a drink at the bar after impressing her with your Usapian war stories worthy of an Academy Award. Thanks you for the drinks and walks out thinking to herself, thanks for the drinks suckers. Like I give a sh$t.

That is the best retort of the west pilot, sad.

Go easy on Claxon and  dariencc.
 
Without their lies their worlds crumble. 

 

[Phoenix]

He (trader, daddy got me the job jake) earned your respect only because he agrees with you. 
 
boeing boy, 767jetz, the garbageman and others earned your "respect" because they agreed with you. Where are they now?
 
You are where you are now (phx island) because you only listened to those that agreed with you.

Touché....

You can't spell "touché" without "OUCH".

I hope the company watches all the following west pilot videos in the link provided below.  These videos are produced and appeared in by former america west pilots over the last few years.  
 
When the company makes their decision on the length of "IT problems" resulting in the delay of west pilots integration, please consider the west pilot "maturity" that was displayed in the videos. 
 
Whats in your cockpit?

I'd rather be West than East. Enjoy the Jersey shore. I'll take So Cal and my West bros 😉

It seems the company is stepping up discipline. A Captain at LAA got caught sitting out of base on his assigned RAP.. And received three (3) weeks off without pay.

Falsifying a logbook was just incredibly dumb. Personally I would like the guy to get his job back if he shows remorse, plays nice, and begs. But since he gave the company a lot of busy work with the FAA (and maybe a fine) who knows if he even has a chance. Sitting a RAP out of base is an internal issue (if they catch you before you fly)... but rousing the FAA dragon from a restful sleep...pitty the fool.

Sir, there is no California west pilot bases that I am aware of?  You provided your residence in your post, not your base.  There are many East pilots that live in "So Cal".

You realize I can be in So Cal in less than an hour via an AA jet don't ya?

Agreed.  The west pilot should be given consideration after a history of problems check.
 
When you work for a management that turned their heads to RICO charges and identity theft by west pilots, they foster that environment. The charges made of the west pilot, that made the log book infraction, was led to believe that management  would continue to have their head in the sand.   
 
DFW does not have sand as their main soil ingredient.

Pathetic you can't keep your lies straight. 
 
The Captain was p*ssed I asked the Ramp Controller how may airplanes were ahead of us for takeoff before starting the second engine.
 
I'm the one who wanted to single engine taxi (which we did not do).

Well trader, as I recall you've got it wrong too. Since I was the captain in question, let me add my version. It has been a while.
 
We'd gotten along pretty well during the trip despite some lively conversation. We agreed on a lot, disagreed on George Nicolau's work. But as far as operating the aircraft, no issues. We had a Republic jumpseat rider on the leg from PHL-RDU. His presence seemed to change you. We pushed in the alley for 27L. I didn't see many aircraft in line, so after #1 was stable I said start #2, as the aircraft had been there for over 90 min and needed a 5 min. warm up. You didn't respond to me at all. You asked ramp control how many aircraft there were in line for takeoff. I again said "Start #2, it needs a 5 min warm up." You asked why. I told you that if it had not been run in 90 min. it needed 5 min. You said "Since when?" So, for the 3rd time I said "Start the engine." If the jumpseat rider had not been there it would have  been a little be a little more lively command as you were pissing me off. You complied and I dropped it as to not demean you. At  cruise I showed you the relevant section in the POH and you said "They must have just changed that." I said "No, it's been there ever since we started single engine taxi as the CFM needs a proper warm up."
 
I was pissed. Not that you might think that we should single engine taxi-we'd done that on that trip as I did it then as I do now. It was the complete lack of disrespect. You apologized for that later and was surprised to see your version of events on here today.
 
As for the rest of the comments about me, there are a couple of facts. God willing, I would have been #1 at Piedmont(the real one) or US Airways. Not on the Nic and who knows about post Nic. With AA I don't expect to break #250-500. But laugh, poke, whatever. I don't care. I'm out on medical and none of it really matters right now. I expect to get back, but have an issue that will put me out there a year at a time. I'd rather not have it, but it puts things in perspective.
 
So, learn without going through it and move on.
 
Take care.
