Nov/Dec 2013 Pilot Discussion

Pi's daddy would be proud. His kid grew up to be an Usapian.

He would. Kicked ALPA to the curb and slammed the AWA scabs to the ground.
You guys will NOT be well received at APA. They know the AWA story.

 

[Claxon]

You think I'm worried about either? Clueless.
You worried about losing "Cactus"?

For years the real airline pilots cringed at that call sign. Those who used it were scabs, lowest paid, pensionless losers who could not get hired anywhere else.

 

[Claxon]

Congratulations Snapper. Your low cost model of Franke took down every airline in America. And you helped. Disgusting.

Carl Wobser. Snappers mentor.

American Airlines APA pilots, if you do not like the america west pilots stand on seniority issues, they produced a video about it.

APA pilots, america west pilots, scabs that love to recruit scabs.  Put this on your hall of fame wall.

American Airlines pilots, america west pilots want a seat at the seniority table.  If you blink your airline could lose a hub, make their day.

Kudos to everything you say... accept that damn paint job.
 
P.S.  The new cockpit fight will be over who is going to be the pilot monitoring... just to enjoy operating the radio..

That paint job is uglier that a hat full of azzholes!! The add where they have a poorly computer generated aircraft in the ugly paint job with people chanting in the background "ohh oohh" reminds me of the add where the Pharroh (sp?) finds out that somebody screwed up because the pyramids were actually supposed to be cubes.I haven't seen that add recently so perhaps they trashed it.

All the best,

Bob

Clueless as usual. AVL is miserable right now.

Stick by the pool in the right seat.

Looks like a great day to sit in front of the fireplace with an adult beverage and watch the fire.

All the best,

When you spent part of your life living on a thoroughbred ranch, you learn how to build fences, kill snakes and drive a Ford 2000 by age 14.
 
Right Bob? Life on the farm....
 
I'm still trying to figure out why you have a Belarus. It's a long flight to Minsk to get parts.

Good question. 2 cylinder air cooled diesel with front end loader, 7 ft rear blade, 4 wheel drive, tilt steering wheel,air adjustable seat. It has a glow plug and I've had no problem starting down to about -5F. It runs on diesel, K1 kero, jet fuel, varsol or Yak fat...just don't try gas. The good part was the price of $10,500 delivered to the farm it 1991. The parts come from Milwaukee over night. I really don't miss the flying all that much but I miss the smell of jet fumes and "Crazy Ivan" takes care of that with a trip around the property!

Cheers,

Bob

Ad is still going.  Saw it yesterday.  But the Old MacDonald at the spelling bee ad is much funnier.

The paint job reminds me of piano keys.

It's Leonidas. We're still here......

So are hemorrhoids - they cost money and never seem to benefit their participants either.

If you bought it in 1991 and it still runs, I'd say it's more reliable than a Yugo. Reading  through your post, I saw it ran on Yak farts put on the brakes, read it again and saw Yak Fat which creates another problem. Where do get Yak fat? Tibet, Nepal,Whole Foods?
 
Anyway, it seems like a reliable machine.
 
Agreed on the AA paint job. Needs work.
 
Cheers

Glad to know Leonidas is a pain in the a$$ to Usapians.
