The Quagmire Award for Excellence in the Pilot Profession

Re: The Quagmire Award for Excellence in the Pilot Professio

Better than a DUI or domestic violence or a number of other things. Nobody was being hurt or harmed. Things got a little crazy. Too bad he got caught. It wouldn't stop me from hiring him. (If I were in that position)

I guarantee it would have been published, AND their occupations would have been stated. How often does one find a naked couple in the woods? The guy was found hiding after asking someone for a pair of shorts!

It's a funny article, regardless of their jobs, we've just picked up on it since they're crew. But it is very common to have people's occupations stated in an article like this.

An update from today's paper:

The pilot -- who police found shortly before midnight -- had been scheduled to fly out of Harrisburg International Airport to Detroit at 7:30 a.m. Monday, a Pinnacle Airlines official said.

This is probably *much* more of a career-killer than having an old DUI. Getting drunk, naked, and arrested on an overnight with an early show is about as bad as you can get without actually trying to get on the airplane intoxicated.

Pilots make for good news.

Besides, I think if it were a school teacher or a minister, their professions would have made the news as well. The public likes to see airline pilots as consummate professionals, not as a bunch of cool "dudes" that grooving in a totally new kinda way.

Now, if that bag had been a flag, then he could have said he was just doing it for Old Glory.:p
 
Re: Pinnacle pilot has waaaay too much fun on the overnight.

I vote for a merge with the Quagmire thread.

Although the Quagmire thread's postion is, that due to being first it requests naming rights, as well as a DOH integration.

I believe this thread is requesting a "ratio'd" integration.

The Quagmire thread vehemently protests the position of this thread, and further feels it's career expectations have been hampered by the smaller size of this thread.

Further, past merges on JC have always been based on DOH.

Also, as we know, Size Matters (tm)

Arbitration here it comes!

Let's just pray we don't see one of them spliting from ALPA. Shessh! Big babies.
 
Re: Pinnacle pilot has waaaay too much fun on the overnight.

From the Desk of the Quagmire MEC:

Today we've reached an important milestone. Some of us have been here for decades, and some only for weeks. The significance is the same.

The line in the sand has been drawn. There has been talk of the "other" thread's direct negotions with management without consulting YOUR MEC. These actions are unscrupulous. It is our assertion that the management has absolutely NO regard for YOUR futures.

We will hold strong, enforce our CBA and follow the process to it's fullest. I know there maybe some tensions out there. We ask you keep being the professionals we know you all are. Let your MEC handle the tense negotiations.

That is all the information for now.

Fly safe.

We're with you Quagmire. Please send out any notifications of public picketing.
