US Pilot Labor Thread, Aug.31st-Sep. 07

[SegmentKing]

as far as news papers go , they are the equlivlant of MESA ....

Who flies 1/3rd of all the departures out of Phoenix for USAirways, and on the same level, if not a higher on time percentage.

dunno how they do it...

 

[machtuck]

It showed in the article....I've lived in PHX for 5 years and NEVER heard of it before....hmmmm

maybe the Farmers' Almanac next?

(at least a bona-fide outlet next time...ok? The obvious problem is they'll want ALL the facts... )

I do...I worked there for a total of about 10 PAINFUL years....

it's called the 'wink'

(thank goodness for eraseable ink pens...huh?)

Flight attendant contracts are being held up by the pilot mess. D/P stated that the company may step in and move ahead with the F/A contracts.

Regarding the N/T, the article is factual and informative--reads as unbiased to me, and balanced. All newspapers large and small have had their share of disinformation, plagerists and literary fumbles.

Your insinuation that magazines or papers with low brow ads automatically having incompetent writers is low brow thinking.

Please widen your focus.

 

[machtuck]

Sir...if you are adressing me...I'll say this:

"low-brow is, as low-brow does..."

That article is crap.

Bring a real media outlet into the picture, with full disclosure and historical perspective from BOTH sides....

until then?

phfftttt.

If you picked up a copy of their publication you wouldn’t be surprised to find out where they get over 50% of their advertising revenue ….. Low life’s … :down:

Sounds like you know quite a bit about this publication. How long have you been reading it?

Ah..YES!...that's the passive-agressive psychotic that I've missed!

Give a kiss baby....

muuwahhh!

NOTE:

I notice LEO has been online for quite awhile and not addressing my earlier honest question.

Perhaps you're waiting for them to get easier....

(don't wait up)

just ask Chili.

As usual, you make a few edits to your post because you can't figure out what you want to say. What is it like being a fifty something with a career going nowhere? Do you like commuting all the way to the east coast to fly in the right seat?

It's really good...how's flying to ELP for you?

And, yes, I do edit...especially on days where nobody will answer the questions...it's so much more fun.

I like the big planes (maybe you will too)..long trips, long layovers...
but....

I hear TUS is good this time of year.
(for accuracy sake...I'm still in my 40's..thanks)

hmmm

left seat to TUS
right seat to CDG

That's nice. Gee, you are up to a hundred posts in three weeks. You must have a lot of sleepless nights and a lot on your mind! Having some concerns about your dreams coming true???

 

[machtuck]

Yes!....I was thinking about a threes.....

(well, a lot of friends in Paris at the same time...in the same room.)

You?

Well if the pension was a little larger it would be perfect. The age 65 change helped with not having to pay for the health insurance. Can't wait to get our 70 Million in 2 payments for the East guys. We will still have upgrades out east since there are more medicals as the group ages. Then we have USAPA.

How's your side doing?

 

[prechilill]

Great. Now we have two LOA93ers working 20 days a month for 80-something an hour inferring how great their jobs are... You guys certainly are unusual!

 

[machtuck]

Pretty much says it all.

any questions (that matter?)

 

[Eastisleast]

Hey Mach/Elixir, I will do my best to answer your question. I'm not sure it is exactly accurate but it is the way I understand it. AWAPPA was formed to protect the nic award and nothing else but has become a avenue to stay informed with web boards. AOL was formed prior to the vote to have possible litagation with ALPA for not representing the west group should they give in to all the squeaky wheels back east and not present the nic list to the company. The two groups are not having a pissing match as I see it just a diff of opinions on how to proceed. I hope this is fairly accurate and answered your question.
