US pilot labor thread 6/28-7/4

[Leonidas]

FYI, Leo, you don't know me, what I'm capable of, or when or why I throw my arms anywhere. Do not speculate about me, my capacities, or my inspirations about this company.

Of course I know you, typical eastie that wants to save his career on the backs of the west, nothing new here.

"...Gimme MY Nic!!/your seats!!...It's ALL entirely about MEEE!" BS....aren't even worth "talking" to anymore...but that's just my opinion."

Should anyone ever need a proper reference? = This is the very same "gentleman" who proudly proclaimed to the world = "I want the captain seat...and most of all, I want every single east pilot to pay for it". I rest my case. As I said = Not even worth talking to anymore.

Then I guess by your estimation, we "know" each other, you're another typical westie who woke up one morning with his head stuck inside the inner peripheral dimesions of that portion of the undercarriage normally reserved for exhaust, and has been breathing and speaking the contents wherein ever since....nothing new here, indeed.

Elixer: While a fine and largely definative effort sir..I must call you to task on one issue only = You make the very charitable asumption that some/ANY "breathing" is going on..which would presuppose at least some oxygen getting to their brains 🙄

Nice play on words, heck I think you are getting better than eastus.

 

[elixir]

well, I assume they have 'turd scrubbers" to remove heavy particulate.

I can break it down for you, if required.
I'll e v e n t y p e m o r e s l o w l y f o r y o u.

And I'll thank you for not putting words in my mouth going forward...if I wanted your seat, I'd say so. Find the post where I said that, and reference it here...otherwise, go back to your deep breathing in an enclosed and humid space exercise.

You can't exactly make that same claim, can you? Because East has quoted you in that very regard for several months...and you've never retracted or denied that statement, have you? So you tell me, just exactly WHO wants WHAT around here?

Indeed Leo..Elixer's postings show a fine command of nuance and expression. Umm...of course...none of us mere Easties can ever hope to compete with the inherent subtlety, and clearly expressed genius of your very own "I want the captain seat.and, most of all, I want every single east pilot to pay for it"..."Clowns"/etc, ad nauseum

 

[EastUS]

Indeed. One has to assume such. Perhaps the excess is pressure-fed into envelopes? 😉

Was there really any real info in that update? A page of fluff from the big bad USAPA.

What fluff? I read the interpretation and restatement of future events. Including the restart of the PVF. It's a worthy endeavor BTW. But then again I am not expecting your participation in that either. So yes, there was some substance. Try reading it again.

But, "Big Bad USAPA"? Another metaphor? Looks like your thesaurus is working overtime. Gotta love it, a never ending source of amusement.

 

[EastUS]

Try reading it again.

A bit cruel sir...don't overly task them in such savage fashion 🙄

One can only wish for comprehension capacity. But then again......

Prety much 😉 But/Well..don't mind me in any case....as earlier noted = I find the remainder of the zealous westies to be merely a bizarre source of amusement, and have NO issue whatsoever with the actually rational and sane people out west.

And I have met some, they are out there...good guys too...minority/majority? I don't know...I think, maybe majority....

But when you have a "cult-like" leadership-run-amuck out there...it must be a difficult position for them to be in. I really think it must suck to be out there under that scenario.

The good news out west, in my opinion, is that the dues-dissenting senior guys will get served walking papers 10 at a time in whatever order the company chooses..maybe just in seniority order...(which will not shut down the operation, as they hope) and it should result in fewer and fewer FUR's out west...maybe even none.

I'm of the mindset that we must NEEDS address the 190 pay rates in the current negotiations. It's preposterous to have a "mainline" aircraft flying around at such rates. Given that the 190's postioned to become the "new" 737...we have to seek appropriate pay rates.

These 190 rates are particularly preposterous in light of the fact that one of our express carriers, Republic, pays its relatively junior pilots more money to fly the E170....the very same E170's that the east pilots paid for with their pensions. Getting the E190 pay rates to at least 90% of Group 2 is a MUST in the near term.
