[quinnlake]

Was anybody at the pilots crew news with Scott Kirby on the 22nd? I've heard lots of rumors, but nothing is posted on the hub a week later.

It's not posted yet, but the FA video is up and Kirby was blasted by the FA's for the Shares "migration" debacle.

This may sound like a stupid question, but I simply must know... Who is LCC?

Quinnlake!! T8 will tell you that there's no flowthru, and that coming from a 14,000hr Dash 8 guy whos only option to better his career was to go to MDA as an FO. Now he is bitter, and hopes for no chance of any other WO'ed pilots to have a chance of a flowthru to mainline!! So, you better get that app ready for Lynx and get out to Denver on the Q400's!!!

Mr. Surf
you missed the point of the previous posts.
The reason the Townhall meeting is not online yet should be clear. Kirby made statement and got his hands slapped as soon as he got back home to Tempe. I would say they are still trying to figure out how to edit that tape before releasing it.

 

[Beechnut]

What statement is that? What did Kirby say?

So basically we are back to where we were years ago! Nobody really knows how to run this airline!!!!!

Nice....now that's a professional reponse. :blush: That's ok WSurf, I got thick skin. Bring it on.

Ooooo Kaaaaay.... back to the thread....

Quinn, I don't know what the details of Kirby's comments were or even if he met with the Pilots. If there was a meeting...and I assume there was 'cause the FA's had their's, it has not been published. The FA video is interesting because Kirby get's buried by one particular FA who puts him on the spot about the responsiblity (or lack of it) of LCC management in the whole Shares migration fiasco.

What I have heard about the pilots meeting is that Kirby said to "expect a big shake up" at PSA and PDT. I also think Kirby jumped the gun, which is why this meeting is not on the hub.

This was released on 3/29 in About US; note the last sentence:

"Meet Robert (Bob) Martens, US Airways’ new senior vice president and president of the Express operation. In his new position, Bob – a 35-year aviation vet – will oversee the USAirways Express program, which consists of 2,300 daily flights and includes nine regional airlines. He will have direct oversight of the airlines’ two wholly owned regional subsidiaries, Piedmont Airlines and PSA Airlines, and will report to President Scott Kirby."

kirby was confronted by 4 Piedmont guys and a PSA J4J. Piedmont guys wanted to know ANYTHING about the future. Kirby completely dodged the questions and said "oh, expect some news/decisions in about 2 weeks". Unfortunately that "news" was probably just the new VP of express.... Woopity doo!

Has nothing to do with your think skin! You and Lear personally have a problem with the WO's since you didn't get flowback!! Thats cool, and I understand the bitterness!
But in the back of your mind your hoping that no WO'ed pilots get a flowthru!! Thats cool too!! But for you to say that aint true you don't feel that way, is kinda funny!!

Anyway! Hope it works out for all of us!!!

Mr. Surf,
classic reply. Sounds to me you have no idea what's going on with the flow to AAA. Same goes for Mr. Lake. Do your homework a little better nad you would have the answer already of what was said during the meeting in CLT. Q-lake of all people should know, considering his position.

I was not at the meeting in CLT, so I don't know what was said. I know the issues on flow thru, but that's only part of the crew news report. No union rep that I know of was at the crew news meeting.

So, what homework are you talking about?

I really don't know what your problem is. This thread is about the LCC Crew News broadcast on theHub. Wsurf, twice now you have interjected a different thread "grinding your axe" about flow through at LCC.

You want to attack me and others? Start your own thread and do it there and quit hi-jacking this one.

Nothing personal! And didn't want to hijack the thread! But if you look at any thread about Mainline FlowThru with the Wo's you are there in 2 seconds to tell everyone that it wasn't gonna happen!! Thats my problem!!!
