Trans States downgrades and furloughs - Again...

How does Aeromexico fit into all this? Why the F can't recruiter be honest and say we're a good and strong place that's going to grow but we're just flying these airplanes temporarily for other companies. Maybe I wouldn't have signed on then..

I remember we had a go-jet pilot in our newhire class. When we did our intro about were we were from and what equitment we had flown. One guy (total "tool") stood up and said he flew for TSA airlines. The instructor asked what equitment. the "tool" said the CRJ-700!! the best part is the instructor stood up through down his pen and said lets get this straight you flew for GO-JET not TSA!!! is that right!! the "tool" said yes sir and sat down. There were 4 TSA pilots in that class also.. They were mad!!

Was that back before they were union?

Sounds like no comunication form the top at TSA!! I interviewed ther back in 98' The chief pilot came in and talked about how cool he was. And how much we suck! and we should fell lucky to be here and that if we make it through the hiring prosess we most likley will fail out of the sim.. I stood up for my intro and said after hearing the cheif pilot speak i no longer wanted to work there and walked out.. The HR lady followed me out and asked what was wrong. I told her that the chief pilot was a complete TOOL!!! and left..

The TSA pilots had a TA that would have joined GoJets and TSA as a single group.....they voted no on the TA....Be careful what you wish for.....

Shoulda taken the deal......

Get the scope and worry about the payrates later.....

The person (MEC) who sold out the pilot group is no longer here. -Not sure why we are all still paying for this.

 

[Walter Sobchak]

I don't think you can accurately say that former MEC chaiman sold out the pilot group. There was a vote, and the vast majority of the pilot group voted "no". It was a crappy deal (contract extension with stipulations that amounted to concessions) when it was presented to us, and I would vote "no" again today.

This is a bad time to be spouting ******************** like that. "You know not of what you speak." In other words; ******************** YOU.
