Default Just met....... a JCer! (Dig this!)

Hmmm..

So I'm sitting here, in the fourth floor business center at Raleigh's Millenium hotel. Nice place, as layover hotels go.

The guy at the computer off my right shoulder asks about the net connection on that terminal.. I have no idea and I tell him as such..

He asks, "So who are you on JetCareers?"

I tell him. He knows the name. I ask his.

"I'm Victor S. I've had a few other names there."

We proceed to have a somewhat.. interesting conversation of how he got banned here.. multiple times.. and quit Eagle after working there for six months... without any notice.

Apparently, his mantra in life is "I don't like this. F### you!"

Said it to the LGA CP at Eagle... Doug... Eagle Crew Scheduling...

He seemed a little disgruntled, in general. I wanted to take him to task for his horribly sloppy pseudo-uniform he's wearing in public view... but I was afraid he might have found his way into the FFDO program... ya know what I'm sayin'?

HMMMMMM.

I always wondered who I'd meet off JC first that I didn't know beforehand.

Odd world, it is.

Ya know, Eagle's really not that bad, you just have to know how to handle CS.

... and I thought I'd been feeling crabby lately. This guy makes me look like the drunk happy guy at the bar that loves everybody.

Sheesh.

Doug, if this is what you and the other mods here at JC deal with on a regular basis, BIG FARKIN' KUDOS TO YOU .. and all the other mods.

One part Dr. Phil, one part Dr. Laura, one part Judge Judy, one part traffic cop, one part "*sigh* I know you're upset, but you're going to get along with your fellow user or beat it"... Notice little of that has anything to do with producing new content or telling stories about the airline biz?

Aye. I need a vacation.

On the former member of the website you met, I really haven't the patience or to deal with behavioral problems. It's not fair to the users that come to JC, get along well with others and want to enjoy the environment.

The thing I find funny about the Bob situation is that despite his repeated verbalization about how much it sucks here, he KEEPS TRYING TO COME BACK.

that's what we keep wondering. I (personally) gave him the benefit of a doubt when he had his 4th username and he still stung us...I know i'm not playing that game anymore, neither of any of the other mods from what i know.

I know. Persistence is the ultimate display of flattery!

It's at least twice per month. Sometimes more, sometimes less.

Firebird - I'm just pissed you haven't looked me up.







Kidding.

Interesting that you met Vic S. I could have guessed he was "disgruntled, in general." Funny how people with bad attitudes never seem to realize that they make their own luck.

At any rate - keep up the good fight, bro! It's you and me and crashmbern with our backs against the wall puttin' the beat-down on all the ney-sayers!

Peace!

.....and let's try to meet up sometime for some Dunkin D. or sum'n.

Mmm... Donuts...

I've successfully walked past the Dunkin Donuts at JFK and have never purchased one.

But it's....hard.

To be honest, the Dunkin D was opened right outside the "low B" crew room exit about 6 months ago and the only thing I've bought there was coffee.

I'm more of a Krispy Kreme guy myself. It's the Tennesseean in me.

I thought about "looking you up" but thought that might seem stalkerish. It's not like it'd be hard to find the DFW CRJ FO with the first initial 'S'. LOL

I figured I'd just wait until we ran into each other in the crew room or somethin'.

But yeah- we'll do the Dunkin' sometime.

It's going to get really interesting here if Victor comes across this thread and replies to your insulting post. I kind of hope he does - awkward moments are always entertaining to watch.

It seems to me like you're saying you didn't have the balls to tell him to his face what you thought about the way he wore his uniform at a layover hotel, so you instead went and typed it on the internet from the safety of your keyboard and screen. You the man! The next time you meet him in person will probably be kind of awkward.

Anyway, Victor is doing well. He's far from disgruntled as far as I know. He's happy he quit Eagle and likes flying for Air Wis. I met up with him in DC a while back and he showed off his car:


If I wasn't paying Key Bank $500 a month.......
