they are just mad becuse you didn't fight more for more pay,,,,after all, they do depend on us for their pay and work rules. I think the word is moocher? May be spelled wrong but you get the point.
I'm not Skywest, but I hate Mesaba. Crappy airline from a customer standpoint, unethical, and they train with pax on board. I've also seen them do some really bad flying. Just saying.
What's with the middle finger from the cockpit? Hello idiots, passengers have eyes too and love to make comments.
On a side note is there a way to put an end to Mesaba saying "Seeee Yaaaaaaaaaaa" every time they talk to ramp/ground/tower/departure? It makes you guys look like a bunch of retards.
Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French, anticipating victory over the English, and proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured English soldiers.
Without the middle finger it would be impossible to draw the renowned English longbow. English soldiers, therefore, would be incapable of fighting in the future.
This famous weapon was made of the native English Yew tree, and the act of drawing the longbow was known as "plucking the yew" (or "pluck yew"). Much to the bewilderment of the French, the English won a major upset and began mocking the French by waving their middle fingers at the defeated French, saying, "See, we can still pluck yew! "PLUCK YEW!" Since 'pluck yew' is rather difficult to say, the difficult consonant cluster at the beginning has gradually changed to a labiodental fricative 'F', and thus the words often used in conjunction with the one-finger-salute are mistakenly thought to have something to do with an intimate encounter.
It is also because of the pheasant feathers on the arrows used with the longbow that the symbolic gesture is known as "giving the bird".. And yew thought yew knew everything.
