US pilot labor thread 6/28-7/4

[Be Careful What You Wish For.]

"Delusions of grandeur."??? On THAT issue "jetz"..I willingly defer to your superior, and intimately personal knowledge thereof 🙄 None..in all of aviation history..not during war nor peacetime...have EVER achieved such ultimate "heights" as to be anything so grand as merely a mouthy UAL FO....ever in recorded history.

Deleted by me.

Sir, just stop sometimes.

You don't need to post whenever he posts.

If you really want to you can take it back to the pilot lovefest thread.

My Bad and point taken sir.....I've just "Had It' with "gladly" suffering fools in general here.....

I apologize to you- sometimes the cocktail gets ahead of the fingers.

Zero need sir..and 'tis I who am skipping outside the "civilized" boundaries. In the sad absence of the Code Duello...one can become a bit frustrated at times

break

I guess the breaks over. Welcome back. That didn't take long.

My paycheck still says "America West Airlines". I'm so confused!

I'm confused too. It seems Tempe is still running 2 different accounting departments for east and west. Can you say missed merger synergies? I've not seen your paycheck and it may very well say AWA on it. In time that too will change.

Addendum: Caveat, if we're still around to get a paycheck.

The more this goes on the more I honestly believe that the sooner this place dies the better... I await the day this cancer is eradicated.

...... I am so happy that you want "this place to die", but I have a mortgage and 2 kids to support. You are the worse of the worse - shame on you for hoping that years of careers could be over.... and all because we had no choice as to what management decided. Care to pick up my premiums for health care, auto insurance, auto car pay, groceries, doctor's bills, kids clothes for school? Continue to type away from your Shangra-La.

Me, me, me, it's ALL about ME!

What typically childish, and pathetic "poor widdle me" westie BS. If you actually MEAN that = Quit today...and spare your poor little soul any further suffering. Save one scheduled for furlough. If that's just whiney BS? = Realize that thousands of people depend on this mess for their living...that the narcicisstic notions of super-"Seniority" for your little band of west pilots isn't the "be-end-all" of life for anyone else....and just..kindly...Grow up!.

...more pathetic chest pounding. If there were an ounce of truth in what you say then you would offer up your resignation to save a pilot from furlough. But, we all know there isn't.

Huh? I didn't go anywhere. This board has gotten very boring so I don't feel inclined to post as often.

Good thing, too. We're having a hard enough time getting the schedulers to understand our contract. At least our paychecks are still relatively accurate.

Can you say missed merger synergies?

Yes, I can. We could've had a new contract with improvements for all over a year ago while the company was nicely profitable. A terrible missed opportunity.

I've not seen your paycheck and it may very well say AWA on it.

Trust me, I can read. Even my bank statement lists the direct-deposit as from AWA.

Ooops. You're right. It was Luvn73 who announced his departure. Sorry about that.

 

[AAA73Pilot]

Why does that not surprise me? Until there is one contract, it will only get worse. Oh well. Been there, lived that. Especially at this place.

At least our paychecks are still relatively accurate.

You should have been around during the PSA/AAA merger. One Cap. received a (Rumor only) $1.50 paycheck for 2 months running. Finally filed a mechanics lien in all places, PHX. Another pushed back and set the brakes. They got paid, but one should never have to go to such extremes. Hope you don't.

We could've had a new contract with improvements for all over a year ago while the company was nicely profitable. A terrible missed opportunity.

You're right, it was a missed opportunity. We all know the reasons why. Our opinions just happen to differ on them. But that is hindsight. Oh well.

. We could've had a new contract with improvements for all over a year ago while the company was nicely profitable. A terrible missed opportunity.

As much the West's fault as the East's, maybe more. They could have negotiated a way to combine the lists once it became evident that the Nic award was crap, but they refused.

Now, they complain that they lost an "opportunity". Nobody's fault but your own.
