US Pilots Labor Discussion

[traderjake]

You enjoy it...you supported it!

As did the majority, it was unavoidable at the time.

Now you're fighting hard to keep it.

 

[GuntherA320]

Does anyone know how many active pilots there are in PHX?

1375 and shrinking every month. They just got rid of a fleet type and are overstaffed. It will be another year and a half before they even think about recalling a furloughed west pilot to PHX.

 

[fifidriver]

This makes me truly happy.

Ah don need no raize, Ah got me dis nace chiken fahrm here, keep me an da missus in high cotton til da day we die!!

 

[USA320Pilot]

That is a statement about very impressive accomplishments and speaks volumes about your integrity and credibility concerning union matters.

Right.

I support honest union people versus those who run or support USAPA. NLG provided comments that are slander regarding my military record, which speaks for itself.

 

[fifidriver]

If you don't have anything better, don't post.

Hi Pi!!! Happy Friday! At least it is for me. I think that Move has a point. Do you guys really think that it's all just bad luck? If I were U(sapa), I'd feel like I was perpetually on the receiving end of one of those "Whack-a-mole" games that they have at Peter Piper Pizza. Every time USAPA moves a "judicial muscle", WHACK!!!!! "Why is ever'body always pickin' on me!!! Cheers!!! Doing a quality control check on the Jeremiah Weed tonight. Not bad.

 

[Phoenix]

Right.

..

I for one am glad you set the record straight. And don't feel bad about appearing to be boastful. There is simply no room for humility when you are informing us about your accomplishments. Its important information that we deserve to know.

Ah don need no raize, Ah got me dis nace chiken fahrm here, keep me an da missus in high cotton til da day we die!!

Now that's funny.

High cotton!?!

 

[fifidriver]

Get your head out of your ass, you posted nothing about me that bothers me. However, you are way out of line in your attacks on Bob.

However, being the disrespectful punk that you are I shouldn't expect anything else.

You could cut a window in your abdomen so you could see where you are going, or you can continue to wander aimlessly as you have for the last 5 years. If you or he voted for USAPA, you are either ignorant or ignoble, there is no gray area. I can not even begin to describe your condition if you vote(d) for their successors. He is not even close to "out of line". Ask Bob what your dishonorable "scab" outfit has cost him. Hint: (Kirby - LOA93 x yrs served) There are not enough chickens on the farm x yrs of coherence left to even come close. Good riddance to another POS! And "yes, I'm a bit annoyed tonight, I just did my taxes, and I either make too much money or I don't have enough rentals or write-offs. Maybe I need a chicken farm...."

 

[fifidriver]

Now that's funny.

High cotton!?!

Hey, with all due respect, if you're going to "move2CLT", you should probably study up on all those colloquialisms or whatever the chicken farmers use to communicate.

 

[fifidriver]

Now that's funny.

High cotton!?!

Sorry, I couldn't help myself... Enjoy...

In High Cotton : Phrases


Meaning:

To be wealthy.


Example:

If we can pull this one off, we'll be in high cotton.


Origin:

This came from the old south where cotton was one of the few cash crops when this country was first settled. High cotton is a reference to the tallest healthiest plants, which produced the most cotton. To be in high cotton is to have a valuable, bumper crop.

Building on this, a landowner or worker who had to defecate while in the fields would do so in the field and use some of the cotton for wiping. In the old south, these workers were slaves.

Given a choice anyone would prefer to wipe with the biggest, whitest, fluffiest tufts of cotton which are produced by the tallest, healthiest plants - that is, the high cotton. Since these were also the most valuable plants, one would only wipe with the high cotton if they had a very good crop. Otherwise they would seek out less healthy, less valuable samples for wiping.

The complete and original phrase was shining in high cotton and wiping with the highest, whitest bolls.

Which is why I graduated number one in my pilot training class.....



When would now be a good time for you to discuss the facts instead of trying to shoot the messenger with your incorrect information?

I'll be happy to discuss some facts. I graduated from the Navy program and was later an instructor. Went through the same pipeline as you, Multi Engine, at around the same time. What most readers wouldn't understand is that in the Naval Air Training Command each student progresses through the syllabus as an individual, not as part of any class. Upon successful completion of the syllabus the student graduates. Time to completion can vary quite a bit and is subject to the vagaries of scheduling, weather and maintenance cancellations, downs, medical groundings and the like. A student checks into the squadron on a certain day and departs upon program completion. End of story.

You didn't graduate number one in your pilot training class because there are no classes. I've never even heard the term used with respect to the program until reading your self promoting post. (Then again, I'd never heard the nonsensical "I only have a public school and Navy pilot training education" until reading another of your idiotic posts). An inquiring mind might wonder what else you are inventing.

I never served in the Air Force Reserve but know several who were there at PIT with you. They were always outraged and embarrassed by your flaunting of regulations by wearing the Air Force uniform during your starring role in a 30 minute hair plug replacement infomercial.

These individuals were also aghast at your peddling of a multi-level marketing vitamin program on the base. Again in violation of regulations, you subjected subordinate Air Force personnel to this unwanted intrusion. You were finally instructed to cease and desist, where you not? 😉

If memory serves, the hard working DC9 F/Os were also subject to this obnoxious sales activity for years. I am well familiar with their opinion of you and would strongly suspect that the Air Force personnel shared it.

Of course, at LCC we have seen first hand what a remarkable disconnect there can be between the regard held for an individual by his peers and immediate coworkers and that held by higher corporate authority. I guess one should never underestimate the power of an obsequious and ingratiating personality. Lesson learned.

No cotton but tall hay and trees.

Dishonorable scab outfit? You must be referring to alpa because they are the ones who put us where we are. I'll be happily retired in 9 months and won't even look up to see what is flying over unless it is a flock of geese, ducks, or maybe a hawk. Happiest day was when I got rid of my last rental....I don't want to be messing with that stuff next year. I'm going to catch up on my fishing and maybe do some volunteer work. Yep, chicken farm might provide you with some entertainment.

 

[767one]

Bob, don't listen to him. The fact he treats you like he does speaks volume,s.
You earned by longevity and senority everything you deserve.
Bravo Bob

Thanks

Delay, Delay, Delay:

Nothing wrong with delay. I kind of like it. Cost the west lots of money. Remember you didn't want to compromise so fight is on, make it as ugly and long as possible
