Quinn,
Send me a PM with your email address...I'm working on getting a master list going for friends and family. Also include anyone else that may be interested. Good to hear positive news about ole PDT finally.

I wonder if my final paycheck will arrive on time and uneventfully? I tried calling SBY this week trying to get a hold of the CP's office. You would have thought the company was celebrating Ramadan or something. Everyone was out of the office (no answer for a day or two)...I remember some clause saying they would hold the final paycheck until your manuals and ID were accounted for. A gut feeling tells me that will get f'ed up somehow!

Of course-- the only reason we don't have Q"s is the company did not have rates, right? At least that is the company line.

 

[doug_or]

[WSurf]

WOW! Q's and Flowthru!!! Jeezus Christ, people might start knocking down the doors to come to PDT once again!!!!!!

Going very well...I'm currently lost in traslation so to speak. (in Paris all week for recurrent training). We've managed to get royally lost on the 'roundabouts' while wondering around the Paris area! Luckily we did the GPS option on the rental car!

Its back to reality on Saturday

I heard in the rumor mill it's a toss up between the Q400 and ATR. Had the chance to go in a Q400 sim a couple years back, very cool. I know Horizon loves them because their breakeven seat # is so low.

Crap.

The cream will take care of this in no time

 

[zasca]

Horizon also loves the Q's breakdown/cycle ratio too... Hopefully they will have found all the major problems for Bombardier before we ever get them. Do the 72-500's have the goofy rear entry Pax loading???

Yeah, I was talking to a pilot that commutes into Missoula. He said a Q400 broke down and then they flew in another which promptly broke down.

Mmmmmm!!! Let’s hope that Colgan has a plan for these issues in EWR

No, this is just to perpetuate the rumor that we are getting Q's so we might be able to attract a couple more 250 hour pilots. Mgm't is having a hard time even getting these guys to show up for ground school.

No, not true! Getting new TurboProps isn't gonna get anyone to come to this airline! So by them saying we are getting new Q's doesn't me crap to anyone that wants to come here. Why? Cause its still a TurboProp. You want people to come here, then you need to get new planes (Q's or ATR's) with good payrates and a better QOL..... Plus the flowthru wouldn't hurt at all! Thats the only way US Airways is gonna get people at PDT or PSA for that matter.

So by Neg. Large Turboprop rates, isn't a ploy to get people to come or stay around! I really believe that US Airways wants these things all up and down the east coast! We shall see......

Well!!! just watched the monthly conference video of Doug Parker (Useless Air C.O) he attends every month and one guy asked him about the flow-thru and apparently he didn’t sound too positive about it. All 4 MEC’s (East, West, PSA and Pdmnt) have to agree upon. But on the last alpa meeting on Sept 6 which I believe he said that the East side MEC didn’t show up…… no clear agreement was reached. Then he said if all 4 MEC’s come up with some type of negotiation to get concessions and everything could be manage on a way that works for the company in terms of having enough pilots for the Express side then company will be happy to negotiate a flow-thru. But as of now nothing has been done.

 

[Sig]

But as of now nothing has been done.

That is completely incorrect. A tremendous amount has "been done," but your post points to some glaring non-facts.

Is it rosy? No. Is it perfect? No.

Do you understand where LOA91 sits in all of this? No.

Do you have any idea what you're talking about?




...



No.


But what do I know?

You don't work here? And what you have typed lets me know you are totally clueless on whats going on!

Concessions?????? What the hell are you talking about Junior!! Now go back outside and Play in the sandbox!!

 

[sucit]

So, what do the pay rates look like? Are they closer to Colgan or Horizon??

 

[WSurf]

From what I have heard!!!! Rumor!! It should be out next week for vote.

18-25% pay increase for captains..

10% Pay increase for FO!

Way higher then Colgan and Lower then Horizon. You could probably add 10-12 dollars to Captain rates, and about 5 dollars more to FO rates.

But remember, we won't know the details until next week.

 

[Sig]

and about 5 dollars more to FO rates.

FINALLY! -300 parity for FOs! LMAO.

AAA was at the meeting referred to by Dougweiser. It was PSA that was absent. The company wouldn't let anyone off to attend.
