Re: Sunwing B737 Captain fired for ordering fried chicken

He wanted to go and choose his own food, the company was in violation of the collective agreement and inflexible on providing options, he made a goofy protest order to make a point. I don't read racism in it. Only the people that are combing everything with the goal to raise a capital case on ident...

Re: Sunwing B737 Captain fired for ordering fried chicken

How are you guys such experts on racist jokes anyways? I grew up in farm country didn't even see my first black person IRL until I went to college, and that was only 2 people.

Re: Sunwing B737 Captain fired for ordering fried chicken

I think it's important to note they didn't directly send the email to the manager who was offended. Fried chicken and watermelon is one of my favorite meals so it's disturbing that my race could cost me my career if another person catches wind that I ordered it.

Big plane/little plane dilemma

As a general rule, I like to think that any and all flight time that adds to one's Total Time is always a net positive, and really, the all encompassing goal. Sure, some types of experience is "better" than others (i.e. single vs. multi, piston vs. turbine, vfr vs. ifr, etc), depending on the operat...
