I guess we get to be Merican. I'm glad to be done with the US Airways era. I'm not the only one....
Transition from Cactus to Merican call sign discussion:
What will the east boys do?
Can we expect a this is unsafe campaign?
After all the paint does not match the call sign
Any excuse is a "good" excuse for those children!
Dead livery?"
"Useless colors?"
"Passe' paint?"
"livery without integrity"
"scab livery"
"easthole livery"
Bankruptcy=Acquired livery
Is this safe? We haven't been trained to use this new call sign. Do we get IOE?
Useless Airways... Sounds almost sort of just like it.
Will miss Cactus call sign but so glad I never had to say ....... You know the name of that crappy company we bought
The REAL last Cactus flight was flown on the AWA certificate - a certificate unblemished by East pilots.
To this date I never said USAirways in a PA, or on the radio. And when ever asked I always say I am an America West pilot, we bought USAirways when they were in BK and the company elected to keep the USAirways name. I never want to be directly associated with those losers!
Legacy USAirways and it's pilots are an embarrassment to the industry.
Enough said.
They are an embarrassment to our industry, profession, and often our passengers
You, are the embarrassment. Worldwide. Australia.....
