August 2013 Pilot Discussion

[cactusboy53]

Wow! I am really bored and just watched a couple of Erics and the other idiots productions. You have got to be freakn kidding me. I cannot believe they fly airplanes. Grow up, do you think anything you do is going to change the outcome? You all look like fools.

Are you really sure that you want to discuss & compare flying skills of our two pilot groups Hawk? A post like yours invites all kinds of commentary. I am EXTREMELY proud to be a former AWA aviator, and I will humbley leave it at that.

Have a great day! It will all be done soon.

Oh! Do you personally, suddenly and magically now have ANYTHING better to "offer" than: "I will let the courts do my talking for me."...? 🙂 Wager's always open, little "spartan". Are you REALLY sure that you can actually ever do anything OTHER than just "discuss"..."flying skills"...? Yeah, yeah...I know = "This is Sparta!" Most "impressive!". 🙂 OK then: Why don't you just simply show, rather than "tell" us all how YOU, as "King Looney-idiss" can "dispatch" a "cupcake"...? NO? What a surprise! 😉

You are hereby awarded the "Army of Leonidas' highest possible Decoration, the Internet Tough Guy Medal", and thanks for the continuing and dependable laughs. 🙂

At least you got it right, FORMER AWA. Some seem to think they still work for AWA.

Can you define "soon?" I've been hearing that for years and that's not my definition of soon.

Another question as you might actually be in the know. I hear that you guys are running short staffed. If so, why do you think that the company is not bringing any pilots west? Other than the standard "mean old eastie flt ops management."

RR took time off from staying at home and playing with his GI Joe and Hulk dollies, to come and remind us of an election at a soon to be defunct scab union, and Hawk und Freighter stopped by with their dementia of usapa lasting one nano-second past single carrier status.

Dang it, they are ACTION FIGURES, not dolls. You talk just like my estranged Dad. He was always so disappointed in me.RR

We must find peace with our childhood "traumas" sir. Sigh!...It's sadly, simply not our apparent destiny to ever rise to the level of becoming "spartans". 🙂

It boils down to labor costs. You have one group who is paid higher than the other. The company prefers to staff the airline with new hires and LOA cheap labor.

I think you might be short sighted and have you Nic blinders on. Have you guys ever looked at the difference in block hours(protected) and credit hours(not) on the west? When the restrictions come down after POR you might see your rig time vastly reduced, thus not needing any replacement pilots.

Besides, you guys helped define cheap labor. You contract was the template for LOA 93. Thanks.

Uh, OK...I'll put that in the rationalization file.

Yeah, that's what I thought you were doing. If you don't have enough pilots to fly your schedule then the east is not flying it.

Great retort....!!!

Now if start-of-uSCABa could just get over his juniority, I might get some more laughs from visiting here.

 

[nic4us]

No, but is that the jail number of some AWA dickhead? It reads A. Hancock. Is that YOU? SUCKA! Oh, STILL senior to you.

Yeah, no laughs here, only a very junior reneging malcontent proud of the fact he was able to steal his position by undercutting wages of his new found co-workers to appease the company and force separate ops.

BTW, being senior to me on a separate list is an impossibility. Unless you are a PHX based line holding 320 captain who also bids and gets Christmas off, I very much doubt you are senior to me.

And, 3884 on the Nic, make you pretty darn junior. I doubt you end up over 11,000 in the upcoming integration.

I think it boils down to the same deal they gave the FAs. No hiring in PHX, short staffed flights canceling, yet still no need to hire, but once the POR hits and we are all one contract, they will offer vacancies on the West to east pilots. With the TA fulfilled, the easties do not have to go to the bottom of the West list.

I have no real problem with that, cause once they do that, they do it with the Nic, and guys of say Sully's seniority come over and bump us all down and shorten their commute, but get their rightful place, just 6 years late and $250,000 shorter.

The company most graciously thanks folks like Bradford and Cleary, Mowery and old #3884 for the extra $ 1 billion you have saved them in the last 8 years.

I know I know, it will be over soon. Do you support such childish actions? Seriously, watch those idiots and tell me that is what the public thinks an airline pilot should act like. Nothing to do with flying skills or who are a bunch of scabs. You guys always play the poor little victims who never have done anything wrong. Have a great day as well! I could give a rats ass when it is "done". We already won no matter how it turns out.

Were you the big mouth that was saying that all of the westoffs could hold group2 Captain seat? Yet you say that is not a windfall? Go F&^k yourself scab.

The gift that keeps on giving...and I am going to continue to steal your seniority as often as I can....SUCKA!
