2015 Pilot Discussion.

I've been there too, but I called it Giza, and I climbed partway up the center pyramid. 
 
You aren't special.  But, you are a someone that has a whole pile of issues about his self worth, and you inadvertently spew your problems all over this forum.  Get a life, really, you are one messed up person.

He's a lying sack of sh$t.

The one he climbed, he built himself, calls it Ghiza.
 
It started as a mole hill 😉

From officers to astronauts to business leaders, Air Force Academy alumni have gone on to ...I think I saw Sully,

 
I saw that TV ad, too.  I wondered how the former-Navy aviator made it into the Air Force Academy commercial.
 
I also wondered why in the world the Air Force is spending my tax dollars on a TV commercial for a taxpayer-paid education whose admissions office is probably so oversubscribed anyway.

Had a pretty senior westie Capt on the other day out of MIA, the SLI came up on the the ride to CLT he says most westicles realize their little NIC has been long dead and most are hoping for a fair deal with MB, as we all are. It seems AOL have lost a lot of steam, go figure.

Did your "Westie Capt" tell stories about climbing the "Ghiza" pyramids?

Usapians rival N Koreans with their propaganda. I wonder if Lil Kim could climb the mythical Ghiza pyramids like Eastus?

Some N Korean headlines:

KIM JONG-UN CLIMBED AN ACTIVE VOLCANO

Helicopters are for wimps, clearly, as Kim Jong-Un has now scaled North Korea's biggest mountain on his own, making even fellow despot Putin look like a sissy. The maverick leader climbed the 2,744m active volcano Mt. Paektu to meet with 100 soldiers at the summit for a photoshoot. Well forgive him for getting a lift back down, mind. He must have been knackered.


WORLD RECORD GOLF ROUND

Back in 1994, news reports claimed that then-leader Kim Jong-Il broke a world record at golf, shooting a 38-under par round on the states only course which saw him bag 11 hole-in-ones. Not only was it 25 strokes better than the previous best, it was the first time the Jong-Il had picked up a club in his life. Somewhat understandably, knowing Tiger Woods and the like werent up to his standards, he declared his retirement immediately after the round.


DISCOVERY OF A UNICORN LAIR

Even the Nazis knew better than to claim unicorns exist. Besides, we imagine its not really worth the amount of superglue-related trouble. But actual proof clearly didnt deter the dictatorship when, in 2012, it allowed the Institute of Academy of Social Sciences to report that archaeologists had unearthed a mythical unicorn lair just 220 yards from a Pyongyang temple, with the words unicorn lair carved into stone, handily.

Did you call him a westicle or a scab?

 

[Claxon]

Ohhhh, lucky for Clint.  Does he know what a tool you are?  I'll make you a bet:  If you can (unemotionally, of course) explain to Mr. Eastwood how your group AGREED to a process and the product of that process, THEN you voted out the old union EXPRESSLY for the evation/delay of YOUR COMMITMENT.  Then be sure to tell him how USAPA filed RICO CHARGES and was SLAMMED (TWICE) by the courts.  Then ask hiim if he would take your side.
 
Go have another beverage Mikey.

Perhaps Marc Peeper and Cap'n Aux could serve as technical assistants to Mr. Eastwood. And David Simmons could explain how west pilots believe in quotas and jumping in front of the line. Clint would be fine with that I am sure. Being a SAG member, he would take umbrage to the mythical seniority west pilot socialists ascribe to.
Peeper can explain to Sully how TOGA thrust would magically restore power to engines which were twisted beyond all hope. After all, west pilots believe in magic. Why else do they hire Marty?

Mr. Eastwood is one step ahead of you.  After thorough investigation, he is so impressed with the West pilots that he is secretly planning to portray Sullenberger as an inept pilot and moral leper. 
 
Mr. Eastwood also has his development team working on three other projects that could be blockbusters.
 
The Cap'n Aux Story:  An attention starved young pilot who seeks personal validation through the supportive posts of his teenage "blog buddies."
 
The Tony Badali Story:  A grown man who maintains a personal blog dedicated to featuring his cool airplane pictures that he knows the world is just waiting to see.  A crisis ensues when his former co-pilots describe him as your basic weak willed pansy.  The hero strikes back, however, by obsequiously referencing several actual combat vets he has known, in a cringe inducing attempt to establish "cred."  Mr. Eastwood, in a supporting role as the mysterious "East," dispatches the fool in a closing scene reminiscent of "Dirty Harry."  Bravo!
 
Arizona Summit Law:  A hard hitting drama which focuses on the trials and tribulations of an elite group of law students.  Mitch, an airline pilot who could have chosen any law school in the nation but picked Arizona Summit because of their outstanding Railway Labor Act DFR program.  Pedro, a poor but brilliant illegal alien and pilot for Mesa Airlines who supports Mitch in his quest for justice.  Thomas, a former airline pilot married to the daughter of country music legend Glen Campbell, who is now driven to become a leading attorney in defending airline pilots falsely accused of pushing back from the gate while sh*tfaced.

Synopsis

Chesley Sullenberger had been a commercial pilot for 29 years before a plane he was flying out of LaGuardia Airport struck a flock of geese, damaging the plane's engines. He turned the aircraft around and ditched it in the Hudson River, saving all 155 people aboard and becoming a national hero and instant celebrity. He retired a year later, wrote his memoirs and concentrated on a new career as an international speaker on airline safety.

Early Life

Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger was born in Denison, Texas on January 23, 1951. He enrolled in the U.S. Air Force Academy in 1969, and graduated as an officer in 1973 with a Bachelor of Science degree. (He also holds master's degrees from Purdue University and the University of Northern Colorado.)

Sullenberger served as a fighter pilot for the U.S. Air Force from 1973 to 1980, flying Vietnam-era F-4 Phantom II jets. He was a flight leader and a training officer and attained the rank of captain while building up experience overseas and at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada. A top pilot, Sullenberger was the mission commander for Red Flag exercises, in which pilots receive advanced aerial combat training. He was also a member of an aircraft accident investigation board.

In 1980, Sullenberger joined Pacific Southwest Airways as a commercial pilot. (Pacific Southwest was acquired in 1988 by what would become US Airways.) Over his years as a professional pilot, Sullenberger was an instructor, as well as an Air Line Pilots Association safety chairman and accident investigator. He also participated in several U.S. Air Force and National Transportation Safety Board accident investigations.

Crash on the Hudson

Sullenberger's years of airline safety instruction and study paid off on January 15, 2009, when the US Airways plane he was piloting struck a large flock of Canada geese during liftoff from New York's LaGuardia Airport. Both engines were damaged, and suddenly neither was providing any thrust. With air traffic control, Sullenberger discussed his options: either return to LaGuardia or land at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey. Sullenberger quickly deemed the situation too dire for the plane to stay in the air long enough for either plan to be successful, so he decided that ditching (performing an emergency water landing) the jet in the Hudson River was the best option.

He announced over the intercom, "Brace for impact," and took the plane down onto the water's surface. The maneuver was a success, and all 155 people onboard flight 1549 survived, and all but a few uninjured. The crew evacuated the passengers; Captain Sullenberger left the plane last.

Recent Years

In the aftermath of the miraculous emergency landing, Sullenberger, an instant hero and international celebrity, received calls of thanks from President George W. Bush and president-elect Barack Obama. He was an honored guest at President Barack Obama's inauguration, and both the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives passed resolutions praising Sullenberger and his crew.

Chesley Sullenberger retired a year later, after 30 years as a commercial pilot. He then concentrated on running his safety consulting business, Safety Reliability Methods, Inc., which he founded in 2007, and on speaking in the United States and abroad about flight safety issues. In 2009, HarperCollins published Sullenberger's memoir, Highest Duty: My Search for What Really Matters.

LIAR

 

[Claxon]

west pilots steaming with rage over Sullenberger. Maybe they will do a scene from the evil Judge Wake courtroom where the army of Sparta attempts to steal seniority.
This movie will seal the deal with west pilots lest Mitch Vasin attempt to criticize Sully and Sliles. west pilots will attempt to criticize Sullenberger and be met with blank stares.

 

[luvthe9]

Did your "Westie Capt" tell stories about climbing the "Ghiza" pyramids?

No, he mentioned how he like Alaska flying in the summer, nice enough guy.


Sure sorry "you" scabs lost out on the NIC when we offered it to you.

 

[luvthe9]

LIAR

It's OK some of your more senior guys don't like your cry baby AFO club.


Looks like you have your own "Traitor" in PHX

 

[cactusboy53]

It's OK some of your more senior guys don't like your cry baby AFO club.

 
"..he says most westicles realize their little NIC has been long dead and most are hoping for a fair deal with MB". 
 
OK. 

1. How exactly did he ascertain that "most westicles realize their little NIC has been long dead"?
2. Did he realize that the Nicolau Seniority list is the ONLY combined LUS list in existence that has been accepted and approved by US Airways management?
3. How about a name? 
4. Did he realize that Arbitrator Javiz COMPLETELY revealed "The Jess" in the pre-arbitration?
5. Did he realize you are quite possibly the most prolific liar here and that a simple introduction from him on the flight deck would be woven into a yarn of epic proportions?

Sorry Luvr.  You do nothing here but ATTEMPT to sew discontent.  Only 16 days until "THE JESS" is revealed.  Only 26 days until we begin to argue our case to a panel of neutral arbitrators that can deliver ANY list that they deem fair & equitable.  The Nic is not dead.  It's alive and breathing on Mr. Parker's desk.
