So I work at Bell Helicopter now right? I saw a poster for this here helo:

The slogan was "We made it beautiful because it's the last thing some people will ever see"

I realize the purpose of the machine is to kill people......but isn't that slogan a little much?

 

[BurlyShirley]

A little much for what? Wussies who get offended by stupid slogans? I guess it is.

 

[Westy]

Maybe you should go work at Nerf Helicopters you baby killer.

 

[blue]

Cobra goodness.

Comes with the territory of working at an arms manufacturer...suck it up or quit, pussy. My father worked at Raytheon and they had **** like that everywhere.

 

[fluff]

It's as ugly as hell, wtf are they talking about?

 

[I Are Baboon]

Do they offer an employee discount on those things?

 

[steve45]

It's as ugly as hell, wtf are they talking about?

agreed, its a hidious machine, strangely attractive though, you just know it means business, like the slogan though

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

So I work at Bell Helicopter

At least you don't have to make the half airplane/half helicopter. Cool as hell, we have alot of them at home. I bet a pain in the ass though.

i like your sensitivity. i find it particularly interesting.

enough of it to think a slogan is too much, but not enough to stop working at making killing machines....

Welcome to the HOO-RAH world of weapons system work.

 

[Changleen]

I was offered several jobs by UK weapons systems manufacturers when I left university (as was nearly everyone on my course), told em all to f@ck off.

[Tenchiro]

Nah that's not offensive, they could have called it the "Muslim be good chopper"

 

[MMike]

I guess I should point out that I work in the commercial division of Bell. Military is Ft. Worth. Mirabel is commercial......

I'm working on this

 

[MMike]

Ahhh the flipper-over-USMarine-killer!


In 1998, I was working on the engine for the commercial version of the thing at Pratt and whitney Canada....PT6B 67C....or something like that...

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

The V-22. Marinekiller? What happened?

 

[MMike]

Amarillo even gets its own page.

They all do
Montreal

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

Fine, ruin my day. But Amarillo is small, so it's pretty cool to see.

 

[MMike]

Haven't read this. I jsut did a quick google search

http://www.g2mil.com/V-22safety.htm

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

I actully did hear about it. The Amarillo plant, when it was built, was only going to build the V-22. It was a semi big deal because if something were to go wrong, we also have alot of missle phsylos(sp)? and development plant for WMD. Alot of scary stuff outside of town.

 

[DamienC]

phear the 300C

Bow down to the Robinson R22

From the backseat of it's big brother, a Robinson R44, over La Jolla cove...

 

[valve bouncer]

You can just deface it. Cross out people and replace it with Iraqi children.

 

[blue]

V22 Osprey...I think my dad worked on those too...oh dear.

 

[blue]

Oh, and btw

Apache>Cobra

 

[BurlyShirley]

Not to say I am an expert on the military mind, there is going to be a gallows humor which us peaceful folk is going to find disturbing...

Like that's any better. Think of all the poor child laborers toiling away in a filthy factory so the CEO can fly around in that.

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of your sweater... I doubt children make helicopters.

 

[Changleen]

There's only one King Chopper!

 

[N8 v2.0]

I like the one for the F16 that says:

Why Enemy Pilots Don't Sleep Well

 

[jimmydean]

I thought this tread was going to be about older style Snap-On calendars, sheesh.

I got in trouble once for having a picture of Laura Croft as my desktop wallpaper because a Muslim women who worked there felt "uncomfortable" with her showing leg skin. (not a joke, wish it were)

 

[Changleen]

Uncomfortable-moist?
