One just txt me that he was calling out sick because of the captain. Sounds like a fun spot.

Do you really want to go toe to toe on wierdo captains that FOs don't wanna fly with? Really?!

Bottom of the list
Got a couple guesses who that might be

Oh I've got names. But I solved that problem. At least for me.
Seems like it's still an issue.

It is DD I am sure lol.
And SFO would be the least offensive base for sick calls that are CA-related. I hear all the stories of SEA and ANC. Or should I say, nightmares lol...

Lollllll legendary. I’d still rather fly with him than one other dude I’ve flown with.

Some of those stories make it down to my base too. FOs have some really cringy stories. All SEA/ANC.

Yea honestly he never made my no fly list, he was close though. I am so curous who the CA is you are talking about. I flew with a really bad just before COVID and he was so bad I almost called out mid trip lol.

Yea. At most I found him odd and a bit offputting to FAs and people around him. I have heard bad stories about his outbursts through, and I have also heard he can't fly the 737 lol.

When I was AA, they broke up trips all the time.
The former manager of scheduling (proper caps) was the devil in female form. She hated pilots. It was either her or someone else that got it into the heads of the higher ups that pilots sitting around on reserve were "stealing from the company", so Scheduling did everything thing in their power to keep the reserves flying right up until guarantee.
On the plus side, this burned all the reserves so that no one was available when the excrement hit the air acceleration device and thus lead to a pure meltdown when one wasn't needed.
AA has had a hub in DFW since 1981 and it's rained in Texas since the beginning of time. But for some reason, it was a completely new and foreign event every time it happened.

That's like when it snows in SEA. You'd think with an eskimo on the tail they would be able to handle a little...nope.

5-7 days to recover from an afternoon summer thunderstorm...brilliant.
But yet, Bobby I. is lamenting that "It's never been harder to operate an airline..." Hmm...maybe try it sometime. Better yet, give yourself another raise. You deserve it.

Can you blame an airline CEO? They be like, my pilots bending 767s and still creating attrition!

It’s SEA. There’s just no space. Bravo gets jacked up with deice ops, which then interferes with taxing planes to/from 16L/34R. If it snows in SEA, things are gonna get jacked up. Only solution is to pre-cancel and thin the herd. Less flights, less planes, less congestion during snow ops.

I'm at 69% and got the 19th-31st of dec off, fly 3 commutable trips with no redeyes and mostly day flying. 19 days off. I'd 100% agree that SEA reserve sucks though

Yes. Yes, I can.
Having worked for him and seeing how he "runs" the business, his arrogance and what he truly cares about? I can blame a vast majority of failure at American on him.
