XJ Manager's tell Pilot's "your not worth it!"

[FOrever85]

Looks the the 900 guys are doing their part. Look at this fine example of saving fuel by flying around with the airbrake out.

Depending on the length of the leg, they often have had to do everything they can just to burn enough fuel to get below their maximum gross landing weight. Seems they are putting WAY to much fuel onboard that plan for some reason...

Seven,

I thought you left mesaba and are working for PFS again?

Sorry I missed my lesson again....

I had a run in with "The Extra Tenth" when he came back from wherever he went around five years ago. I asked him about the contract negotiations and shameful raises taken by management. He told me to go F#ck myself. Literally. Him and a handful of other pilots that have made the "never go back" jump to management, don't give a flying turd about any of the emplyees at XJ except for themselves. I am not bitter. I am more saddened. I have actually watched these people go after and have even had some violated to cover their own incompetense. The old friendly and caring Family run Mesaba died a long time ago.

Life is too short to work for someone that not only holds you in contempt, but refuses to even do the right thing. It's reprehensible.

I suggest you keep your heads down and stay away from those jackals. Nothing good can come out of what they are doing.

JS keeps great company. A director of Ops that if he had a banjo and a mullet would below in Lord of the rings and a labor relations laison that acts like he's got some juice but the only juice I think he gets flows from JS, if your picking up what im putting down.
Its no wonder the pilot group is getting ******************** kicked and has NO RESPECT for it's managers... we are under the thumb of an insecure night college graduate CEO and his sidekicks.

And ill finish a quote directly from the extra tenth... "we'll iI understand your position (in a conversation about scheduling a pilot) but legally we can do this and I'm not interested in the contract at this point. WTFO.

You don't like the company you leave.

The problem with this mentality is that some of us pilots were here before this CEO and the last CEO and some even before the CEO before that. Personally, I'll just buck heads with them, take what I can, and wait for THEM to leave.

What made JR so bitter? Was it his days at Republic?

I believe he was a good guy here. I don't know the circumstances of his departure though.

So what happens when the 900 is fully staffed in MEM? It's going to be a long list of delayed flights on a bad weather day. Every one will have to wait in line to use the one or two working computers so they can check the radar and everything else they need to properly flight plan.

Full power takeoffs from now on.

Maybe they will think twice about paying someone to take out the trash.

 

[MesabaDriver]

Thats right, crawling taxi, unexpected delays in the pads, full power takeoff's and cruising at 6k below flight plan altitude. Lets see how that shinny departure and arrival section of mymesaba does in the next few weeks.

It's been in the tank ever since they started keeping the door open on the Saab until the bag numbers were sent.... "the extra tenth" has forgotten his roots.

I wish more of my 9E brothers would figure out how to get things done.

Let's see....everybodys pissed off at JR because of a basic lack of integrity, and an inability to do his job well. So your solution is the do a really crappy job and intentionally beat on the AC (full power all the time) I'll be sure to thank you when I have one blow at V1 because 100% all the time makes you feel like you're getting back at JR. Anybody see any irony here?

I agree. I agree that management is always tough to deal with. But it's like that EVERYWHERE!!! Talk to eagle guys about their management, talk to Mesa, Express jet, and so on. They will all talk about their management as if they are just the worst, and how they really are the biggest victims in this industry. Burning more fuel, delaying and canceling flights to get back at management isn't really going to do much, but just show an immaturity level. We really are just hurting our selves by doing stuff like that, we all have a job to do which is fly safely and take car of our paying customers. And through this we can all go home to our families and feed them. Do you jobs for your selves and families, and not FOR MANAGEMENT.
