  1. You are still missing several commas and you seem to have a problem with run-on sentences. So, what happened to the 7 year 35K bonus the Bro network predicted? When does the hiring boom start?
  2. No it is not linear. The 3 year 15k was for uncommitted eligibles and was a punishment for not signing earlier. They are not additive.
  3. No, you are not reading it right. It is 25k a year until 20 YAS. That will be a different commitment for everyone. 10 at the most 5 or 6 on the low end. His 100k math was base on having 11 YAS at signing time making it a 9 year commitment. What 40k a year trend are you talking about? Bonus has never been higher than 25.
  4. I would not call my rhetoric bullshit! My rhetoric is cheeky and fun. You leaving everyone hanging was crule and tragic. {this space reserved for future bullshit rhetoric when I have more time}
  5. Yes, the Bro network has never let us down when it comes to talk of the Bonus.
  6. Then once empty can takeoff in less than 1500 feet. Now if you can't get the cargo off for any reason you are fucked.
  7. Didn't see any strats in there either.
  8. Yes, because everything said so far is absolutely true. Or it is all bullshit and you are all getting worked up for nothing.
  9. So how does this work exactly? You are saying everyone who does not take the bonus is going to get the wing staff jobs that get them promoted and the guys that take the bonus will be line flyers and will not get promoted due to lack of Wing Strats, jobs, ect. Then the guys that got promoted will get out and the guys that didn't will get kicked out... How does that fix anything?
  10. It was cut short when the MRAP crashed into it. They can't send these things overland because they cannot protect them over the entire route. Just like the other guys said.
  11. I see you are not a boater. Beer makes the boat float dumb ass.
  12. Dude, I am on my iPhone. Not the easiest thing to type on, drunk, while driving the boat. Give me a break.
  13. Or they changed the name so guys that already took the bonus can get the rest till 20 YAS. Got my last payment in 2011 and still have 4 years left. I have nothing against money so I will take a 25K per year 3 year bonus to stay doing what I was already going to stay doing....
  14. Spoke with one of the investigators on this accident and he let me know some facts. The aircraft had 5 MRAPS on it. The other contract carriers only carry 3. With 5 vehicles on the aircraft 2,3,&4 have ZERO forward and aft restraint. 1 has aft restraint and 5 has some forward restraint. The rear vehicle did break free and penetrate the aft bulkhead. Now this is what sucks. With that many vehicles, one shifting, even crashing through the bulkhead was not enough to cause this accident. They still would have had plenty of elavator authority. Unfortunately, when the vehicle slammed through the bulkhead it severed hydraulic lines to 2 separate systems, Took out the CVR and FDR (9 seconds after the rotate call), and finally did what actually brought the aircraft down. It hit the stabilizer trim unit and jammed it to 6 degrees none up, nothing they could do at that point. The MRAP that broke free survived the crash (because it was in the tail) and they actually found orange marks on it from the FDR.
  15. They are guarding it to keep looters and Army soveneir hunters away.
  16. a publicity whore will do pretty much anything degrading to entice the limelight their way. Fuck him. I do not see any terrorists going on Al Jizera (don't give a shit if I spelled it wrong) saying that the images of them videotaping the killing of American's with IEDs while chanting "aler ackbar" are haunting them. Some guys are just pussies.
  17. I think he landed a C-17 short a Dover.
  18. Ok, when I mentioned Walmart I meant the "people of Walmart" not the company.
  19. You are comparing the Walmart of airlines to Emirates? Very funny.
  20. Dr. Farthing: I know there's really nobody to blame for this but myself, well, I don't know, maybe the Buffalo Bills, the Boston Red Sox, or Mr. T or, or the Jets... Mitch: Wait a minute, Mr T.? Are you telling me that you bet on the fight in Rocky III, and that you bet against Rocky? Dr. Farthing: Hindsight is twenty-twenty, my friend.
  21. It was Embry Ridiculous jack ass. Get your facts straight. Funny that you guys saying technology does not fix everything is counter to Airbus's business plan.
  22. Well they would go down. Who causes most of the GNEs anyway? It is AMC flying old aircraft... the single pilot aircraft would not be C-5 with all but one of the seats removed. They would be new aircraft with lots of cool bells and whistles that would take you across the ocean with ease. It's called data link, a lot of aircraft have it and they get bored crossing the ocean never talking to anyone.
  23. This is where you are missing the point. They are not getting rid of the second pilot. They are replacing him with technology. Just like they replaced the radio operator, engineer, and Nav. They can not at this point replace sexy flight attendants and mechanics with solid state radios and GPS. If the workload can be reduced that one pilot can handle it then it is not a problem. Believe it or not there are some single seat aircraft in the inventory that operate perfectly without a crew.
  24. So did planes start crashing when the took radio operators off? Engineers? Navigators? Nope . I am just pissed that this was my idea and some fuckers from Boeing Flight Deck Engineering stole it from me when I got drunk at a retirement party. This is what I did my masters thesis on. The feasibility if single pilot large passenger and cargo aircraft. It can work. All you need is a flight deck specifically designed to reduce the workload of the single pilot. (all you dumb asses are looking at this like the are flying by themselves in a 2 pilot flight deck). You need an interactive "dead man's switch" to know if the pilot is alert/awake/alive (most freight trains have this now, it is similar to a "Simon Says" game.. the dead man's switch used to be a pedal but guys were setting the tool box on it a going to sleep. The interactive one requires random inputs). You need the ability to remote pilot the aircraft and then you need the ability for the aircraft to land itself.
