2015 Pilot Discussion.

[FL430]

The words of a conspiracy nut. Emphasis on nut.

Words of a scab.

 

[CactusPilot1]

Why don't you ask USAPA. They are still in business, contrary to your assertions otherwise just a few short months ago.

 
Decertified and irrelevant

Words of a scab.

 
I'm a member of the APA.
 
How about you, Dik, can you say the same?

"What logic of integrity and moral philosophy demands respecting Nicilou, but fails to respect a federal judge?" ~~ a neutral observer

 

[EastCheats]

Deflection is a diversionary tactic when one is afraid to reveal their true intentions. Typically used by scabs.

Speaking from experience, huh?

I've made the observation that your observer can't spell Nicolau. 😉

You employ "deflection" as frequently and easily as Marty inserts "implicit assumptions" into his legal briefs.

Negative. College degree in chemical engineering , minor in psychology. You?

That observer was a LAA pilot, one of which will be giving directions to the LAA SLI committee. You know, the group that represents about 10k pilots strong, and the same group that will argue you don't have wide bodies. At this point, like you, Nicolau is just as irrelevant.

Interesting, because I just flew with a F/O who remarked that AWA was one of the places that you went if you did not have a four year degree. He mentioned a percentage that he could not back up with a source. I wonder what the percentage is. It was the place to go if you were a Wien or Ansett scab, had a waiver on your medical, and, apparently, a Mesa pilot. The only pilot who I know that was hired had a heart problem at a relatively young age. 
 
I just knew that there were three airlines for which I did not want to work years ago: People Express, Southwest, and AWA. 
 
Please, it isn't too late to sell these guys off. I see endless lawsuits. If ASAPA had been AOL, there is no doubt that there would have been a suit over theft of our proprietary information. I have no doubt had an AWA pilot asked Ferguson for the list that he would have responded, "Sure, what is you email address?" The other shoe still may not have fallen on that travesty. The threat will never go away.

The APA was in town yesterday. They must have sent different observers making observations contrary to this particular observer. 😉

It makes you wonder how we managed to retire the AWA operating certificate with getting all our passengers safely to their destinations without having a chemical engineering degree.

How do you know these airlines wanted you to work for them? 😉

They did not want me to work for them since I was unwilling to give a mandatory 10% of my meager pay to AWA for stock (gone in the bankruptcy), fly a Dash 8, and work in dispatch on my days off, throw bags for People on my days off, or pay six grand for my type rating on the 737 for SWA.

That $6000 investment as it turns out would have had a better return than LOA-bankruptcy wages. 😉

What division of the collection of Airways that made up US Air you were hired was better than Southwest?

I often thought that I did not need a degree to fly as I studied late at night for my science degree, but the military and the airlines, that I wanted to work for, required one. It was a box to fill that the military and airlines felt was necessary to show maturity, intelligence and persistence, I suppose. Unfortunately, there was nepotism at some of the merged carriers, but most pilots had degrees. Fathers were able to get their relatives on easily.  I certainly wish that it hadn't been like that. 
 
The lack of college education and lower standards at AWA certainly explains the maturity and some of the antics with that we have had to endure by former AWA pilots.

And I bet now they are your new BFF's right?
