Things looking pretty dire over there honestly. Hoping they can restructure into something, but when the airports start kicking you out and flights cancel without notice, start the clock.

If this dont fire you up, your wood is green!
(I do appreciate the inclusion of the bikini contest in the first minute)
As long as Todd wasn't in a Bikini i'll watch.
But if he were would his bottoms be pleated?

Is that the video with the Continental scab and his spawn in it or is that a different one?

Because I always stop, take 3 well-choreographed steps, turn and then have a "casual" conversation with everyone.
Tell us, Rick, how easy was it to get hired at Continental Airlines when you started there...in a certain-year timeframe of the 1980s?

“I hope you lose your job!”
“Why?”
“Because your former shell company did some PFT work in 2002-2009!”
Do you hear yourselves sometimes?

JetU here. Gulfstream was pay to play (PFT). JetU was not. JetU was just a RJ course and the best you got out of it was an airline interview. If hired, you’d go to a newhire class like everyone else and start at the bottom like anyone else.
I did very well out of JetU, it got me exactly what I was hoping for. However, it went very very bad for those there in 2008-2009 shutdown as age 65 passed and the GFC started.

I won’t comment on the scab father.
But I knew his kids, all 3 of them. Flew with 2 of them as my CAs at 9E. These were some of the sharpest pilots and kindest souls I’ve met in aviation. Last I remember, 2 went to FedEx, 1 went to Delta. The Delta guy was doing some base CP work. He’s the one I went to turn my resignation in when I left for VX.
I’d share a lunch/dinner/non-alcoholic drink with any of them, any day.

4:12 knew her too. Emirates at about 25-26. Upgraded 777, checkairman / training. Furloughed during the pandemic. Came back to the US. I think WGA initially and now either Fedex or Delta, I forget which.
4:19 awesome CA at 9E. Flew with him a bunch. Lived at Brighton, MI airport hangar house. Last I heard went to Spirit and was a DTW CA. Not sure if he’s still there.
4:29 another great guy. Flew with him a lot. 9E Capt that went to Delta at a fairly early timeframe (2014-2015 I think).
7:57 flew with him to. Went to jetBlue I think.
These are good people. Just one take from someone who knew them and flew with them.
