US Pilots Labor Discussion

[nevergiveup]

But the hurricane will be past NY and PHL by Sunday evening with 3 more days in the month. Uh oh! Looks like you will have some more time for make-up which means... NO PAY for Irene 😱

I'm getting full pay for my trip. Not sure what you are looking at.

If my trip to Europe had been cancelled prior to departure on the 26th, I would have been paid the full amount with the last 5 days of the month off and no requirement to make up the time (due to it being my last trip of the month). However, since we departed Philly to Europe ahead of Irene and our return flight is cancelled for Sunday, we are staying here an extra night with extra pay.

Sparrow plays to both sides. Today he's showing us his east side.

His comments on Parker and his failed leadership strategy, lack of ethics and morals, and his comparisons to previous management teams are right on track. Very clear and to the point; and quite correct.

You're just pissed because he's made you guys his beyatches to the tune of $7.5 M a week in savings.

Get over it. He knows what he's doing.

Parker is as incompetent as they come. He is immoral, unethical, shows virtually zero propensity to understand the word 'leadership' and on top of that is a three time drunken bum. He doesn't have a clue what he is doing and he brings on hired thugs like Glass that are as bad as he is. Remember when Lorenzo was the business man of the year one year followed by being excommunicated from the airline industry the next? It just takes a little time before even the dimmest bulbs figure it out; so there's still hope for you, Move2CLT.

Parker's true colors are very clear to anyone paying attention. Soon he will be right up there in the spotlight, just like Lorenzo; and the entire world will know what a sleezebag loser he truely is.

He is like the incestuous uncle....very charismatic personality, everyone is drawn to him (Jim Jones?) until his little secrets come into the light.

Excellent post. It would be nice if you guys turned your guns on Parker instead of the west.

You have been through a lot, emotions are dangerous in any situation. Really, time will settle many differences regardless of comments made on here.
Parker is a disaster and needs to be fired. An NCO Marine will be discharged after one DUI, let alone 3. There is little honor, respect or morals running big business these days. Time for a change.

Making money despite the east, had profit sharing, triple plays, etc. so he's doing fine.

You're just pissed because he owns you.

Nope...not pissed, which seems to be one of your favorite words, so don't put it in my mouth. I have been owned in the past by various people...CEOs/ex-wives, etc, but have learned from my experience. I am not owned by anyone and can recognize evil and deception when I see it. You will learn these things someday, Grasshopper. B)

They seem to be one in the same.

They seem to be one in the same.

Has the FBI made any arrests yet in the "data theft" case?

 

[Move2CLT]

Even better, has USAPA even been contacted by a law enforcement agency? Any LEA?

No. Not one.

Awwww, playing the victim card again? Poor baby.

Last night I was on my deck barbecuing a nice steak and after a few beers I started getting philosophical. I, like Mr. Parker do my best thinking after having a few. This deal is working out great for everyone if you really think about it. Both companies needed one another. The east is a money maker and PHX brings east/west traffic. Good points for each side staying separate for now:

East-Holds the Nic off so you can get upgrades. Several years of advancing seniority and when eventually the groups are combined most of the pilots forced east will be the most junior. Yeah you're under LOA93, but it seems most of you are OK with that. Maybe an few A330s get based in PHX(unlikely), but most of the larger aircraft stay out east with only east pilots bidding for them.

West-US needs PHX for a west presence, but once there is a single contract about 25% of the pilots get pushed out east. Staying separate keeps you were you want to be. The contract could be better, but with the way USAPA is negotiating I wouldn't be in a hurry for the next one. You may be angry now about slow upgrades, but one day the Nic will be implemented, it can only be held off so long legally. When that happens you jump ahead in seniority of the guys on the east that already upgraded. Yeah they beat you to an upgrade, but you're younger and eventually you'll be ahead of them in seniority.

Is Mr. Parker a little angry about the way it effects another possible merger? Yes, but all the bonus money and stock options make it easier to deal with.
