Delta RFP awarded....

[Texx]

it means I'd like to preserve my current QOL rather than go to the bottom of the CA list.

Keep telling yourself that. Maybe it will work.

 

[SkyNation]

will do. so far, it's working great.

 

[bvt1151]

I think skynation epitomizes the problem with this industry. Who cares what he's costing everybody else just so he can get his "QOL." It all comes back to Skywest.

 

[SSDD]

It is Skywest who decided this.

Yes, and ASA is part of Skywest.

Again I'm not from SkyNation's side of the family, but the Skywest pilots have as much control of the flying as the ASA pilots do.

Those who keep saying that its not going to happen are the same who kept denying that they'd been bought, even though we all knew it. If you stay at ASA you will be flying Comair airplanes. You can write them up, you can ground them, but sooner or later, you will fly one.

 

[rogerwilcoout]

thank you, I will.

again I'll ask, when DAL (or anyone) goes to decide who to award or transition flying to, what should be the determining factors? how should it work?

Wow, and you guys bash Mesa? Lol At least Mesa is gearing up for a fight unseen in regionals before. How many SkyWest pilots showed up for the picketing the other day? Bet there were more Mesa than SkyWest.

 

[rogerwilcoout]

so direct your anger at Delta, since they are the ones doing all this.

I bypassed upgrade a long time ago, and I'm close to 40 years old, a career changer. I knew the deal when I came in.

...did you?

BINGO !

 

[Stifler's Mom]

As much as Skynation likes to flame, back up for a second...its ASA that is taking the first and biggest bite out of Comair's a$$.

Don't forget the 4 bites you took out of ours already.

 

[bvt1151]

What did we exactly take a bite out of, Stifler? That contract you can't negotiate?

 

[Stifler's Mom]

The 4 70's that were transferred. And according to Fins, evidentally more than that too.

As far as the contract, yes it has taken way too long, but hopefully we'll get more than a 1% raise....and we'll make sure not to hang our prop group out to dry.

 

[Nightrain_080]

asa who?

Oh man I hope the day comes when your airline experiences some of this! Then I'd bet you'd be singing, make that crying, a different tune!

Voted To Strike The ASA Division of Skywest Inc!

What the hell is ASA is SLC for? It happened already to SkyWest you asarjboy! You came in and set up camp in one of our bases. Thats right SLC is a SkyWest domicile. Do you see a SkyWest base in ATL?

Nobody at SkyWest is wishing ill will to any pilots at ASA or Comair. Keep your strike where it belongs, In ATL.

So, you are against a Free enterprise? We should move back to regulation? I thought we lived in the U.S.A. Its a nasty world out there, but thats how it works. It's the same in every business. The strongest survive. Those who can do it for less, are the ones who get rich....What a strange concept.

Free enterprise? Are the pilots free to withold their service? Or will the judge issue a restraining order? Who gets freedom, and who pays for managements freedom? And the whole idea that this industry is not regulated is absurd! We remain the most regulated industry in America. How will pilots get rich if they "do it for less"? Management may get rich, but the pilots will only get poorer by flying for less. Show me how I am wrong! I challenge you!uke:

Be careful what you wish for. I have been at 3 different airlines. If you think I made my decisions so I could be a 40 year old FO at sky worst than p__s off. You are so happy with your quality of life. Come on don't you want to make twice as much? With the fast movement at the BEST regional in town, you didn't upgrade because you would fail. I guess I messed up because I wanted to go to a place where I didn’t make $20,000 a year.

 

[doh]

how should it work?

That's an easy one. I buy a ticket on Delta. I get to the airport and I get on a Delta airplane, not a Skywest airplane. I get flown to my destination by Delta pilots and I get served my beverage by Delta FAs. That is how it should work.

get rich? are you getting rich? because if you are not then the rich are standing on your obedient back as YOU carry them all the way to the Cayman Isles..... U.S.A. = Under Someone else's Authority......... free enterprise..... as we watch ALL of our industry and economic strength sail to foreign ports....... yup the richer are getting richer.... and they are buying homes on private islands and places all over the world. FREE Enterprise.... let me tell you something..... NOTHING IS FREE IN THIS WORLD............ RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY ARE THE PRICE TAGS. since there are no ethics in business and the sheeple of this country mindlessly support basically anything government or big business force down their throats then the vicious cycle will not end. Why does anyone think it will..... look back in only the last 50 years and see in the industries that have suffered from this free enterprise without responsibility and accountability.......... electronics, household goods, auto industry, steel industry, manufacturing just about anything, and now it is telecommunications and customer service...... GONE. So Skywest, and Mesa, and Shupubliqua do it today. Someone else will do it to them tomorrow. Maybe WalMart will start their own airline..... oh wait they did.... Southworst. Southwest is only the golden child because the legacies arent hiring... At one point they were the Mesa of the Majors. How soon people forget..... how shortsighted this pathetic society is.........we sold integrity and character to the LOWEST bidder..... and then we raised a flag on the front yard of the house we will never truly own.... might as well make it a white flag.... cause we already surrendered. Before any of you low brows tell me to love this country or leave it...... oh please..... get a new sound byte......... REAL AMERICANS HAVE THE BALLS TO SAY WHAT IS WRONG AND WANT IT FIXED
