Gutsy Move, Mav...

Just mail it. And when the dope at the UPS Store says, "Lemme make sure you have this packed correctly" (aka "let me see if I can sell you valued-added services to give you the false sense of security of your contents not getting destroyed") tell them no.

Anyway, I'm stuck in Georgia for the next three weeks, there's really no beer of interest here.
 
One of my non-airline students when I was a CFI was probably personally responsible for financing the surgical augmentation of an exotic dancer or two at SJC's "Hooters".

I oughta text message that character and see what he's up to. Gotta love dot.com zillionaires.

I wonder what the heck's going on there to want to go from 757 captain to mad dog FO.

I wouldn't put too much stock into it. While yes, this is a clear sign that things aren't "dandy" at US, she may just think that going to DL will further her career, and I could very well see that. She will be one of the first of a hiring wave, DL seems like it has an awesome future ahead, and it has a management that seems to care about its employee's. Maybe this doesn't reflect that she thinks US is going to tank next year as much as she thinks that going to DL is a better opportunity.

Besides, you will always find pilots that jump ship when the ride gets bumpy. There were even a couple of A330 captains that went to airlines like Airtran a couple of years ago at US.

Haha....ahhh, I got a good chuckle out of that. :)

Word from my friends at/formerly at East is the management of the past six or seven years is so screwed up, many people are out of there like bats out of hell...

Past six or seven years? Try the past sixteen or seventeen years.

Well, the biggest thing she was going to fly at "Brand X" might be an Airbus 330. The biggest thing she's going to fly is the yet to arrive 777-300's or whatever flavor of 787.

I dunno. Just thinking aloud!

Hey now! It could be the A340 or A350. ;)

Good, I'm glad that the 777-300ER rumor is still alive, it's been awhile since I have heard it!

:) :cool:
 
There could be a lot more to the story too.

Maybe she's going through a divorce and her soon-to-be-ex husband flies for US? There could be a lot of personal reasons why someone could make that kind of switch.

Who knows.

Bill took some flack for leaving TWA in 1999 to go to DL. A TWA CA told him, "If you go to DL, you'll be an FO forever!". Bill chuckled, and that's how his username, fo4ever, came to be. He has been an FO for what seems like forever, but he didn't get AAssimilated by the AA purchase (and subsequently furloughed), and he squeaked by and didn't get furloughed by DL (after FMII he was 112 off the bottom). He was far from alone in his exodus though, there's a lot of TWA refugees at DL.
 
LOTS of former T-dubbs around the training center too.

Speaking of being an FO for ever, I'd be about 7 from the bottom on the MD88A, so it's coming!
 
And apparently there's two former CAL's in class too according one of the new hires.
 
Hey doug, what are those blades doing next to you in that picture? You really shouldnt get that close to those things, they've been known to fall off, overspeed, and feather under certain circumstances!

You should hear me fighting tooth and nail with some of these jet guys here. All they do is talk crap on the props. They forget where they came from so soon.

Yeah, but you're like 300 some senior to him :)

I smell an ATL upgrade in mid-to-late 2008 or 2009. :yar: (He's holding out and doesn't want to take a NY upgrade. That's figuring of course that he doesn't get ousted out of CVG, I'm really hoping he doesn't have to change equipment and get suckered into a seat lock :mad:. Keep that CVG 88 base open!)

So much SJS/Kool-Aid flowing in this town. They can't get to me though. No matter how much kryptonite they use! LOL

Is this in ORD or St. George? How long have you been in training for the Barbie/TV Jet? (TV jet was coined by OldtownPilot great name)

Me and my buddy will roll in and show them how it is done.
