"You can judge a mans success in life by the means he had to obtain it."
Author?

Daddy paid for your college, daddy got you the job with US Airways. Lets just put it this way, Hemingway would not enjoy sharing a beverage with you.

"Lets just put it this way, Hemingway would not enjoy sharing a beverage with you." Perfectly put. 😉
 
Issuing an injunction against a rogue union that violated the DFR is well within a federal judges authority.

Get on that immediately! "So let it be written! So let it be DONE!" Mighty Pharaoh/"spartan"/whatever. 🙂
Any chance of yet another "T Minus" countdown clock?

Two days later, in the early morning hours of July 2, 1961, Hemingway "quite deliberately" shot himself with his favorite shotgun.[sup][145][/sup] He unlocked the basement storeroom where his guns were kept, went upstairs to the front entrance foyer of their Ketchum home, and "pushed two shells into the twelve-gauge Boss shotgun ...put the end of the barrel into his mouth, pulled the trigger and blew out his brains."

Your response is predictably chickensh-t. News Flash here = We all die. Many never really live. Should you have more compelling personal adventures than those of Papa Hemingway to offer; I'm all ears, or you can put forth prose even close to his level....I might then get past offering nothing more than complete contempt for you "LT Hardy" of "Striking Distance"...umm..."fame". 🙂

It IS wryly amusing to note that you place yourself above even Hemingway in fantasized notions of your personal "worth" though. Who do you suggest all "idolize" here...chip, or perhaps just yourself? 🙂

PS: "It IS wryly amusing to note that you place yourself above even Hemingway in fantasized notions of your personal "worth" though."....? Wow! THAT immediately resulted in a "minus vote"!? Just what sort of incredibly twisted, infantile narcicissts are truly present here? Let me guess = "spartans"/"knights" and perhaps even "dire wolves"? 😉 No matter trader/"LT Hardy", we get it = You're far more of a "man" and grand intellect than was Ernest Hemingway. Thanks for the riotus laughs here. 🙂

At the risk of offering you a thought you can no-wise be expected to ever even slightly understand trader:

"A man can be destroyed, but not defeated." Ernest Hemingway.

While personally no great fan of suicide, for purely spiritual reasons ( ..well...not-to-mention-I-love Life); here's another gentlemen who opted to end his life prematurely, being entirely disenchanted with the NAZI regime and their chances for victory. An actual man with 62 confirmed kills and a world-reknowned, superb Pilot. Do you also imagine yourself to be his "superior"..."pilot"..."man"..."LT Hardy" ? 🙂
 
I think you got it all wrong. USAPA thinks they have the ball and headed for the end zone. Too bad they missed the yellow flag thrown at the 50 yard line. It's our ball now. We are in the final seconds in the game and all USAPA can hope for is a turnover and DOH Hail Mary.

Good luck!

Should your pilots continue to support the army of lyingitas? Maybe a new update is in order. Two months, no update?

Bottom line, Viagra was not available. Do you think for one minute, the end of his life was not known by most self made men? Yes, you have all the answers from your protected perch. Punk.
 
... protected perch. Punk.

That much seems entirely appropriate for this case, as it does for the bulk of the "spartans"/"dire wolves" and naturally AWA "knights" who've supposedly "fought with valor in many battles" but only in Fantasyland "war". Seriously?...You just can't make these kinds of infantile idiots up! They truly have to be seen to be believed! If they didn't prove themselves present...none could reasonably believe even the possibility of their actually existing. 🙂 "Oh Lords and Ladies of Westeross!..Knights!...All the Armies!".."The War of the Kings!"/"our army of leonidas"/etc/...Just plain unbelievably childish buffoons....Honestly?...How was I EVER supposed to take such "men" seriously? 🙂 Their very "representative", when challenged to even so much as a safe, purely recreational flying wager, and after hearing countless rantings of "This is Sparta!", "This is how King leonidas dispatched a cupcake", pathetically responded only with: "I'll let the courts do my talking for me". You just couldn't write these pitiful punks into childrens' comics as being even slightly believable characters. 🙂

Are your west pilots better off than you were 8 years ago?

"“Ask yourself: Are you better off than you were four years ago? Is it easier for you to go and buy things in the stores than it was four years ago?" Reagan

AOL truly outdid themselves with this video. In short, a picture is worth a thousand words. The APA needs to post this on their website. There is your new hire CAPTAIN, right there setting in the RIGHT SEAT of the aircraft! This truly epitomizes the phrase "A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS". New hire pilots are CHUMPS for believing any of you guys, East, West, APA, ALPA, ASIANA are any MORE qualified to act as PIC when they get hired as YOU guys are after 30 years. WHY? Because NOW the FAA says so. SUCKA'S!!!

Claxon, when an update comes out, I'll post it ASAP.

The only news I have from the West is Red Flagged trips and Jr assignments due to insuffficient staffing. Flights are full, non-reving is next to impossible. There is a campaign to replace (East) Flight Ops management with the merger.

Bottom line there is growing frustration from being on the the receiving end of Viagra and KY job from the association and management. This frustration helps AOL's fundraising efforts.

From the AWAPPA boards:

"The latest seniority list (7/13) has 1637 total pilots (including furloughs).
Six months ago on the last list (1/13) there was 1659 total pilots -- 22 more than now.

A year ago (7/12) there was 1674 -- 37 more than now.
18 months ago there was 1689 listed -- 52 more pilots than now.

Every six months there's fewer pilots and none are being replaced. Yet we still are having our same block hours and airframes (for now). We all know what a tragedy thats been done to the west pilot group, but Jezz! It's bull#### that as now we're starting to have attrition here after so much time, and yet they won't replace the head count, but out east it's a freaking hiring frenzy!

Last fact and I'll get off my rant box.. 8 years ago on this month, at the height of the AWA reign.. The 7/05 seniority list had 1949 pilots (no furloughs!"

Bottom line, someone's holding a lottery ticket and it's not the West pilot group.
Enjoy the party while it lasts because the bar is about to close and the tab with have to be paid.

What do you care if Leonidas puts out an update or not? It does not concern you right Mike?

Besides. Since the parties filed the usapa demanded sealed documents nothing has happened. So nothing to report.

Jamie you need to pay a little more attention to detail.

Leonidas did not make, create, write, produce or even ask that video be made. Not a Leonidas video.

Btw Jamie when talking about qualified pilots. How many struck tails and damaged aircraft have you guys had since the merger?

Are you really attacking all the new hires at us airways? Because the west has not seen a new hire in 8 years.
