Rumor on the street is that if you work here you won't get an interview at Mainline. They aren't accepting applications from the wholly owned.

Oh and the crew meals still suck.

Is that a bad thing?

Not true! If you have a letter of rec from a mainline pilot and your WO'ed.... You will have a interview in the next week or so.......

FUBAR

LOL

I disagree.

It's a plain sandwich. Works for me.

There are many other things that need fixed here before crew meals.

The PDT folks are waiting for the RJ Christmas ornaments or a 5lb. cheese wheel. Just ask BP, he'll tell ya.

flow through meeting that was supposed to take place yesterday and today pushed back because mainline d$#%he bags wouldn't show up. at pdt, we now have large turboprop rates up for vote for the large turboprops we'll never get (the rates will be put right next to the jet rates in our contract). colgate will no doubt fly the q4 for airways in the not so near future....

If this works for you then it must have been some pretty pathetic trailer park you grew up in...

Just kidding...I used to eat them, but then i stopped eating white bleached bread after i read a scary report about it. Then the low quality meats have me wondering what i was actually eating...The small piece of lettuce is comical, the laser thin tomato is the size of a quarter. The pepper juice spills onto everything else in the bag. As for the Kudos bars..Do they come from China? I have never seen them before. Nice apples...6 months old?
I understand that they have to give us something cause it is in the contract but come on! I bet T.K. gets a kick watching us eat them. More of a kick when people say they actually like the stuff.

You are right about the many things that need to get fixed. Like the 20 IOE lines in CLT? Or hotels in the middle of a field with nothing around to eat?.....

Will PJ be able to Flowthrough??????

Nice avatar plunger. RIP Dimebag Darrell.

As far a the flowthrough thing... you better give it some time to allow more of the mainline d....bags (as jellynuts put it) to retire. Some of those clowns you DO NOT want to work along side with. They must be by far the most miserable and bitter pilot group on the planet.

I can't say I don't feel a little sorry for them. I'd be unhappy too but anyhow....it is NOT a culture worthy of mention or joining. For the time being at least.

Not only did those db's not show up, I was told that mainline ALPA, told ALPA National that we already got everything we wanted so the meeting wasn't necessary. When our guys called national to find out about the meeting, they were like what meeting? We were told that you worked it out.

Heyas,

The MEC Chairman told me that jets are on the way, and flow through is imminent!

Oh, wait, that was in 1995...sorry...

So, what you're saying is that you're unhappy there are 20 IOE lines every month because you enjoy being on reserve? Dude, stop being an idiot! It may keep you on reserve now, but it's because there are lots of guys coming in UNDER you. If anything you should be glad that they are there. It wont last forever, and when it does, you're going to be privelaged enough to hold one of our lousy lines. By the way, in CLT I saw guys who are pretty close to being line holders that have been here for about 6 months. You have been here a lot longer, so you must be a lineholder by now. Upgrades are happening as we speak, are you ever going to be happy?

Folks, if you come to PSA just remember to regard it as a stepping stone. Sure a flowthrough would be very nice if US Airways is your kinda place...but when you open that logbook at an interview for the majors they aren't going to care where you got that flight time as long as it fills in the right columns. The regionals all suck, and quite frankly the majors are nothing like they used to be...duh!!!

Do yourselves a big favor...don't get into exJ41's mindset. You'll give yourself a heart attack and lose your medical. All of the whining in the world will never make the regionals anything more than slave labor sweat shops.

As far as crew meals.......it's a free sandwich. If you hate it that bad, go inside and buy something to eat. The crew meals certainly aren't prime rib, but it beats nothing and you know d@mn well there's always time to go get something else if you need to eat, so save your whining. That kinda sh!t is just gonna get those taken away, too.

I heard they were specifically looking for the Grey Ghost. That would certainly have a haunting effect on the industry!!!
