Yes we are "danger - i-o-u-s-l-y stupid and we are also dangerously stupid mad! We are danger-i-o-u-s-l-y stupid mad UPNAWAY. And watch that coffee we serve you too.... Did you pass spelling in English 101 in Pilot School? Or did they skip that at the conservative religious school you...

The company problem isn't a LABOR COST ISSUE - It's a MANAGEMENT ISSUE. I Agree Glucose. The company a has dragged this on for 4 years because we are at wages of 15 years ago. Tempe cannot figure out how to run a profitable airline without charging fees, and surcharges and making money off...

Wow, never did I think one little question would cause so much strife between a few peeps. Anyway, back to the question: Why is the company hiring 300 F/A's? Retirements? Ah phoey! Something is up the company's sleeve and my speculation is that the new duty reg's for pilot's will come into...

HA HA HA! Can you say Holiday Pay?? ON another note: Why are we hiring 300 F/a's? Hector says retirements? Ahh phoey! I say the company is getting ready for the new FAA pilot rules, and since we have the me too, well, that means we'll need more F/A's just as they are hiring US Pilot's for...

Carol Austin is 67. Her term as Scheduling Chair is three years starting January 1, 2011. Do the math - that means she will be 70! Write to your local LEC's people.

[ I think better yet would be a contract attorney and labor lawyer would give you even more mileage. I agree. Would you rather have a certified nursing assistant do your back surgery, or a surgeon? Would you rather have a detective on a murder case or Mall Cop Bart? This is what we are...

Really? You must not know of many people. We have a few f/a's that are lawyers. Yes lawyers. And accountants, I can think of a few with those qualifications that I would like see negotiating. I can name many, Michael E, Terry G, Paul F, Paul H George R, Lee H, Bryan O, and any RSV that is...

I would rather wait 1-2 years or more and get a contract I can work for the next 10 plus years with. I would rather wait, work 100 hours a month at wages less then 10 years ago, then be served a pile of dog sh*t on a silver tray. And did the company really walk out when the JNC presented the...

Phoenix4: I'm not asking for a "dream team", I am asking for an inflight supervisor who can speak proper English and Grammar, but what chu whant for thirdy grand ah year? You ain't gonna get no good people for thirdy gran cause all those f/a's make so much moh, an you was supposed to fly 85:00...

Ok, I thought about it, and here goes; first, Warren B for Director because of his business savy; Then Nancy P for her organizational skills, Steve J for his brilliance, Bill C for his people skills and management. Then add Bono and Wycleff for their humanitarianism. So, we have Warren...

Hmmm, I had to think long and hard...and at first I was going to write a list of all the silly f/a's that would be silly supervisors and make things fun....but then I really thought; The best supervisor's are the one's that would not be brainwashed by upper management, the one's that don't...

Yes, there are f/a's that make less than 28,000 on RSV, but if you had taken a Supervisor Position, you would be required to work 20 to 21 days a month, depending on the month, and that is 8:30 plus hours a day, and give yourself at least 30-45 min back and forth to the parking lot, so, you re...

Remember, shakedowns start out at the top and Inflight supervisors need to realize that their job is a dead end job. only a couple of folks upgrade to base supervisors, like SS and the former PHL base manager, the rest stay in that dead end, $34,000 a year job. The reason they hired so many...

We must not forget that Hector is very experienced. And we are talking about the base director for the major base operation of our airline. A director who is responsible for three thousand flight attendants, and many flight attendant supervisors...... Put it into perspective......

can anyone tell me what Hector said at the union meeting? Comments from the group in attendance? How many showed up? What were the comments from the f/a group? Thanks!
