Most don’t give a crap about Tbalyx living in a Van. They’re pissed at the man and busting his chops now in every which way.stabilizer wrote: ↑Mon Nov 16, 2020 4:46 pmTwo questions for you FL320Years ago my wife and I have decided to go back to a more simple life (after a tragic event in our family). We sold the big house and lots of stuff we weren’t really using, then we moved into a small condo living an extremely minimalist lifestyle (fed up with the overconsumption!). Great decision; we love it. We are now working on the idea of living in a van fulltime (we have no kids). It’s not a matter of being financially broke, it’s a feeling of being free from stress. I totally understand their motivation. Most of our friends and family members don’t understand our lifestyle and some think that’s because we are struggling financially which is not normal for a pilot. Our house income is 320k/year, condo paid, 7 figures in a portfolio that gives in return more than our living costs, but we are driving an old car and about to live in a van (near an airport).
1 --- Did you contacted a media outlet to publicise your alternative lifestyle choices, while posing for pictures in your airline uniform?
2 --- Were you a Scab at Swoop during the ALPA hiring ban?
I suspect you did neither.
Tbaylx on the other hand, did both. This story is not about living in a van. This is about an individual who has made countless decisions throughout his career that have negatively impacted our profession. He does not deserve "a break". He paid for the privilege to fly a clapped out MD83 for peanuts, jumped ship from multiple bottom feeder companies chasing a low paying left seat job, purposely ignored a very public union declaration of a hiring ban.....and now poses for some silly vanlife story in his airline uniform, a symbol of our professional livelihoods. The man is a disgrace to the industry.
Lest we forget that Tbalyx going to SWOOP was debated on this very forum. Several people pleaded with him over several days to reconsider the move.
Whilst no picket lines were crossed - the potential damage was outlined to him in advance.
Tbalyx was afforded every courtesy and sound arguments prior to going to SWOOP. After he ignored the words of caution the gloves came off.
Tbalyx pissed in a lot of peoples corn flakes and they haven’t forgotten.
Go back and do some reading on this forum. He was warned.
