Skywest 900 on it's way to ATL

[Tarzan]

Huh? The 700 is the senior airplane at ASA, as usually happens to the higher paying aircraft on property. Although I will admit it is starting to go junior on the FO side due to the transfer of aircraft to SkyWest.

Starting to go junior you say? How about junior manning the airplane because there are not enough guys willing to put up with the crap lines.

It is junior compared to what it has been. I see more and more 21XXX and 22XXX employee numbers in the can every trip. Not to mention weren't there 20 f/o vacancies posted recently?

You wouldn't have a chance without a union. You are told what to do, not negotiate. There's a difference in having management tell you what to do and negotiate. But of course you already knew that!
BTW nice "override" for the 70/90 seaters, you guys really showed them!
(sarcasm off)

737

To make it real simple for you brain donor, Auburn is already ALPA so the question was real easy for everyone but you. You are the only numbnuts not to get it, probably because of oxygen difficiency because the General is holding your ears too tight. Why don't you do everyone a favor and throw yourself on something sharp, similar to your pointed head.

Try 23XXX now.

Those twenty vacancies went to the twenty junion guys on the 200 list. Good luck getting off it without going to LAX for a month.

You see, I knew your velvet knee pads were too tight. See how upset you get! The truth hurts. Shouldn't you be out knobing every management personell you can in St. George? BTW, Your stellar rates are phenomenal on that 70/90 seater. You must be really proud! Way to bring the industry down. Shouldn't you be out stealing more unionized work??
Of course, you're just a lowly CFI. I bet your captains must get real tired of instructing your dumb a$$!

Wow that is some funny ********************e. No sit-ups or crunches for about 2 weeks. I think I will have another Fat Tire.

Nothing like brining the industry down for the concerned 737/767 pylots. Perhaps if unionized folks had some gumption, they'd internalize (since I know decertification is not addressed in RLA), create a better working relationship with their management, retain their flying or get even more. As it stands, their anti-competitive self-serving mindset (don't kid yourself) leads to more problems than it appears to influence. I'm sure non-unionization as a factor has some bearing on gaining flying, controlling for it statistically I bet we'd see that fact alone would not predict an airline's ability to gain flying. I always chuckle, "unionized jobs"...talk about cool-aid. That mindset is leading to the dearth of the union movement across industries, not the process itself.

Curious??

Maybe the cheerleaders are refusing to acknowledge the problem but the MEC sure isn't. Have you ever asked Tom or Dave what they are doing about it? Are they ignoring the problem? Do they like that aircraft are leaving ASA?
I have and they don't have their heads in the sand! I wish people like you and John would stop slinging mud just b/c you're pissed. I'm pissed too, that's why I call and get the facts. I understand the position our MEC is in, whether I like it or not.


Just curious as I am somewhat out of the loop. Are we trying to stop future aircraft transfers at the negotiating table? Are we negotiating for scope that will guarantee current numbers or percentages for total flying between us and Skywest?? The reason I ask is that I have not once read or heard that we were going down this road. What I am reading is that management already knows where they are going so discussion in this area is worthless. Anyone out there in the know??

Thanks.

 

[Tomct]

Yes Tim, We ARE!!!!

Your stellar rates are phenomenal on that 70/90 seater

I honestly don't get it.
SKYW CR7 Capt will now top out at about $102/hr
A Delta 737 Capt tops out at $134/hr.

Both rates suck in my opinion, but the difference isn't that out of wack.
There's more to an airline's success than hourly rates, otherwise Allegiant would be taking over the world (MD-80 CA tops at $108).
