Daddy needs another $50

[awausairtech]

And $50 a month won't even come close.

Well Dog if the iam wins you can see if you can get your pay back in 2009 2010 2011. The iam hung you out to dry.

Fine! We work for the bonus! Still, why complain about it! Get real. Share the love and give your check to me, I'll use it for a nice dinner, since I seem to be able to live just fine on may salary.

Maybe you need to take money management classes?

Thanks for the pity but no need for it. :angry: I make a living wage. Single, own my own house, doing good. Was even doing good when I was part time. I just think its pathetic that there are some on here that scoff at $50 for just doing your job, yet in the next sentence cry poor. YOU ARENT GETTING YOUR MONEY BACK so if thats what you're waiting for, its going to be a long one. The people in the sad state are the ones who constantly #### and moan about what has been taken from them yet continue to take it. If you dont or cant live on what you're earning, find another job. I know quite a few people who did just this and they are happier now than while they were here. Why must EVERYONE who stays, enjoys their job, and is still ok with what we make be in such a sad state? Maybe I've just found a new target for your pity. I'll add mine while I'm at it. 🙄

I know you've take a hit on this post and I will agree that many only complain without offering suggestions. I have to posted on that several times myself. Fortunately for you tadjr you are content with what you have. Others were doing fine until pay cuts but they may have others to support. Everyone has a different life and different responsibilities. Some may being paying for college tuition and thought they could afford it, others bought homes and have mortages based on their past wages or may be helping out other family members etc. Its just a matter of your stage in life or life choices based on that past wage. Its not just play money that was lost but now people are stressed with bills that previously they did not have or could afford. Its different for each individual. I will also agree with a previous post that we earned the 50.00 and it is not free. I know you work hard and take pride in your work so dont take all this too hard. Mama

It's NOT free money. Each and every employee works for that extra bonus.

Just another reason to get your fresh start with TWU and have a say on the new payscale for all. TWU rejected the offer to take your scale and contract, We all deserve MORE! Not in bankruptcy any more!!!!!

Tadjr,

As a customer I love your attitude, lets hit the numbers so we get our bonus, even if it means a little more work on our part. Everyone wins, the customer has ontime flights etc, and the employees get a little bonus. Most of us VFFs know you folks lost alot in pay, but I know every $50.00 helps, but it won't make up for what was lost.

Please keep up the good work and forget what the nay sayers posted.

Some people will do anything for 50 bucks.

 

[MarkMyWords]

And some people will B##CH about everything. What's your point?

 

[EricLv2Fish]

You have to make the best of it. OR you can wallow in self pity and howl "WE was Screwed" and still earn exactly the same as those who decide to put the past where it belongs. In the past. The bonus is there why not go for it?

Bob, you forgot one other option: OR find another job where you feel your getting paid what your worth! 😉

 

[hula-flyguy]

I don't think there was a point....just more b#%$*&%g....it runs rampant in these here parts

 

[Res]

I agree with tadjr...$50.00 bucks ..is $50.00 soo stop complaining...it's not going to solve or change anything.

 

[rjh]

It is a sad state you are in.

Whatever happened to a living wage?

I make a livign wage, and have some money left over for extras. If I didn't make a living wage, I would ..<gasp> take responsiblity for my own life and get a new job!

 

[PITbull]

Just plain wrong on soooo many counts.... :blink:

I hope you dont have a second job as a psychic. B)

Hope you have a second job to earn that $50 bucks on a regular basis. B)

Hey, I'm fine with the extra $50 here and there. It's a nice little reward. At least this management is happy to share a bit rather than pocket every extra dime they can for bonuses for themselves.

Whining and complaining is a mindset that's hard to overcome. Granted, both East and West sides have had plenty of tough times and might be a little jaded.

I'd rather turn the page, start a fresh ledger and see what happens. I am convinced we have some of the finest employees around. If anyone can make this new airline work, it's us.

From what I've seen of the Westies, I'm impressed. They do a great job. Like us Easties, they've been through the knothole and perservered.

We have a lot to look forward to,so let's keep our eye on the prize and show the "Doubting Thomas's" just what we can do!

But not in black leather, OK?
