Then you KNOW the difference between being a blockholder and a reserve-both in pay and quality of life! You also know it is much easier to pick up ETB as a bh. You need to think long and hard about this ta, particularly iif you sit on the bh-reserve fence. Check out the scope in the ta-gone...

Well, good for you. Reserves fly about 40 hour a month, give or take. Thank goodness, for 3-5 days of per diem. ETB trips are really hard for us due to 6 day regs and check-in and arrival times. But glad you get to fly 120 hours a month because reserves don't need to eat or pay bills.

And this is all the f/a ta amounts to for most of the pilots-whether they have access to our cabin js or not-when we have new hires on the west who have w2's showing $10-13,000. That's really sad!!:(( That's not even arguing once the agents on the east "let you go down", they would not remove...

Never said it was my call. In fact, I think I said most had to consider their job in this economy. I was just asked if I was willing to take a stand. My answer was and continues to be yes. And MY OPINION is still that we should be getting industry average wages as long as upper management...

I, personally would have preferred being released from the mediator so we could implement chaos in 30 days. I think in one week targeting about 5 international flights, a few DCA-LGA flights, and every flight to MCO on a Saturday would encourage the company to rethink their offer. And don't...

But don't forget CLT is not the same animal it was in the past. With the innundation of LGA, BOS, and PIT f/a's it has changed. Also it is a very junior base now and none of the reserves I have talked to are at all happy with the reserve section that has already been released. Most say the...

LOL You DO Like to stir the pot. I like to think that we as a group are fair. We are the lowest paid in the industry at this point and are, like the rest of the country, just trying to make a living. Our issue is with management. But we can't correct all the injustices that have been...

As a junior f/a at US with only 11 years seniority, I have no issue with date-of-hire. It IS the fairest way, for all work groups as far as I am concerned. What (junior) f/as at AA need to fear is the reserve system that US has. The power of the most senior is incredible and frankly, those...

I worked a flight that had air quality issues. We weren't laughing. Maintenance confirmed the leak and said it was fixed. Thankfully, our captain insisted on a thorough preflight, said the a/c wasn't fixed and cancelled the flight. The f/a's had nothing to do with the cancellation. I have...

Crew News session in CLT tomorrow at 11:30. I have heard it could be exciting. All flight attendants who are not flying should try to attend. Strength in numbers. I know a group from DCA is planning to attend.

Does anyone have any details on stowaway (?) on TPA-CLT-PIT that occurred today? Incident is being reported on the news with no details?

But it's never taken five years. I give it less than a week

of course thou , who would want to cross picket lines when unemployment is at 11 % ( undeclared ) and underemployment is 10 % ..... it's both sad and funny watching all of the workers try to talk tough at the moment of greatest weakness ... did anyone notice the price of oil was rising ? omius...

After all the money the union has wasted, I think it's money well spent to show them how disgusted the rank and file is with their performance!!
