Definitely a bad mistake to make but this article acts like the entire planes lives were changed forever.... I mean come on. How do people writing this stuff take themselves seriously?

It’s become a “woe is me world,” and the writer is pandering to that demographic.

Just ask some IAH Continental/United folks what they think of her...

Just ask...

Isn’t there a similar longtime UPS pilot?

Isn’t there a similar longtime UPS pilot?

An AS ANC pilot wrote an editorial in the Anchorage paper about how the pilots didn’t need/deserve a raise, during contract negotiations. Or so the story goes.

Bob Griffin: Why I won't picket Alaska Airlines

By BOB GRIFFIN On April 1, some of my fellow Alaska Airlines pilots will be picketing to protest of our ongoing contract negotiations. I will not be joining them. Currently, the average Alaska Airlines captain makes about $90,000 a year more than the average surgeon, according to the Bureau of...

The interwebz has monetized, very successfully I might add, fear and anxiety.

And people wonder why people are fearful and anxious. And techbros are rich for it. VERY rich.

It was likely an attempt to claim a hostile work environment and force early retirement or compensation from the company.

I heard someone took a dump in his car when it was parked at ANC.

I remember doing a deep dive on the guys background and he was following around school buses and had to be contacted by law enforcement several times.

Makes you wonder…

Tech employees systematically destroy everything around them like cockroaches. Then move to new places and destroy them too. I miss the old days when they just ruined the bay area.

Not any that got interviewed on a major tv network.

She just needs to get an Article 8 already. She’s a disgusting human being that’s only looking out for her own self interests while spewing hate.

<raises hand>

What’s an article 8?

 

[mwflyer]

What is a DEI hire? I feel like people are talking past each other on this subject.

According to our current administration, anybody who is not a white male.

You know, I think you got the wrong impression about me. I think in all fairness, I should explain to you exactly what it is that I do. For instance tomorrow morning I'll get up nice and early, take a walk down over to the bank and... walk in and see and, uh... if you don't have my money for me, I'll... crack your • head wide open in front of everybody in the bank. And just about the time that I'm coming out of jail, hopefully, you'll be coming out of your coma. And guess what? I'll split your • head open again. 'Cause I'm • stupid. I don't give a • about jail. That's my business. That's what I do. And we know what you do, don't we, Charlie? You • people out of money and get away with it.

You can't talk to me like that!

Disciplinary action on behalf of the union. It could result in being expelled as a union member.

Am I the only one who thinks this who incident is kind of funny. What would Captain Dave have done?

Applied to such large jokes as Lee Moak.

Captain Dave would have diverted to the nearest airport bar for three fingers of bourbon, neat.
