August 2013 Pilot Discussion

Hmmmm. I wonder what your wage will be whilst we wait? Oh yea.......LOA93. No snap back. No 3%. No signing bonus. No retrospective check.

My contract? Not so bad (still).

I guess you won't be saying " SOON" much anymore!

No money. No addition time off / vacation. Retirees leaving CLT, DCA & PHL supported the DOH dream, and it only cost them each $500,000+ each. Rainbows and unicorns will keep you boys happy. Who needs reason, logic, a moral compass, a better schedule, and $$?

That's the bottom line.

Rainbows and unicorns, and RR case comic books.

FUKU might want to take down the "For Lease" sign, at least for a while.

Trader, do you ever use that tiny little brain of yours? USAPA doesn't own the building, they lease that space. It is the owners that put up and take down the lease signs.

No, horror and inhumanity is innocent civilians being killied by drones.

This is an unnecessary throwing away of wages and time off because you're unethical too keep an agreement.

Try not to be so lame with spelling, punctuation and grammar when you put someone else down.

"Rainbows and unicorns.."? I'd thought "you'se" were all about ferocious fantasies of being spartans, "cool" T-shirts and badge-backers? Transitioning away from mighty "King Leonidas" to Rainbow Brite for your "army's" inspiration these days? 😉

"Who needs reason, logic, a moral compass.."? Should the day ever dawn that you've even a single, involved element there to offer...I'd listen.

Do the math.

US Airways holds 55 percent of slots at Reagan, the U.S. said in its complaint. The proposed consolidation would increase that percentage to 69 percent, and the combined airline would have a “monopoly” on 63 percent of the nonstop routes out of the airport, according to the government.


What do you think the DoJ would want for the merger. To sell off the west or give up some DCA slots along with those east pilots flying them?

Well, if DCA slots are going to go away, they will in all likelihood be RJ flights to second and third tier cities, not mainline or Shuttle flying. Translation, regional flying, not mainline.

Sure, no NIC yet. No DOH yet. No RICO either. No money. No addition time off / vacation. Retirees leaving CLT, DCA & PHL supported the DOH dream, and it only cost them each $500,000+ each. Rainbows and unicorns will keep you boys happy. Who needs reason, logic, a moral compass, a better schedule, and $$?

No NIC and not having to fly with you.....priceless. BTW, it has been worth every penny.

Possibly the best thing to happen to our flying careers just got torpedoed by a corrupt government and you're still focused on seniority?

I say we find out how we can help management fight this. The east and west are great at fighting. How about a temporary truce to focus on our real enemy, the DOJ. Do we have a chance at beating the DOJ? Probably not, but what they are doing is wrong. The east loves a cause and the west doesn't like getting kicked around. Whats a good rally cry?

Bean

Sorry Bean the single worst thing to happen to over 2000 east pilots is the NIC. So why you can cry about the lack of a merger we will move on with separate ops. Hell you have 25 years to make a career out of this... What a crock

 

[snapthis]

"You'se" guys and your never-ending, self-righteous fantasies dependably both amaze and amuse. 😉

My bad. Not honoring one's agreement is indeed.....honorable.

Somebody needs a hug!

Then stay separate and STFU

 

[nevergiveup]

More profit sharing!

 

[FL430]

FUKU

That's showing your intelligence!

Maybe Snap will give him a kiss, I hear he's like that, especially if he gets anywhere near an elevator!

My only promise to all here was that I'd never vote in favor of anything that transmitted the nic disease. Promise kept. I'll cheerfully "suffer" whatever "karma" has in store for that. 🙂
