Speed,
I'm tired of this statement that gets tossed out frequently. I do think about myself first. The union, company, fellow employees, and yourself are not going to pay my mortgage or keep my kids fed. In the end, it is all about me and keeping my family taken care of. I'm sorry, but if I can keep my job and put someone else on the street, so be it. You feel the same way:



I don't want to see anyone on the street and would find a way to get by on the min line. But I'd rather see a few go than the company fold and everyone lose their jobs. Because after all, it is all about me. However, I can't blame the young guys for wanting non members to get the can before them. They are in the same boat with bills to pay and mouths to feed.

Couldn't agree more with this statement. There's an illusion out there that you care more about everyone else than yourself. Give me a break. Thanks for calling a spade a spade. It's true. Nobody on FI will pay my mortgage, put food on my table and basically "fund" my life. Read Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand does a great job of illustrating this point vividly.

To make a point think about this. If I can hold the door open for you, I'm happy to. If I have the opportunity to "tackle" you away from the moving vehicle, I'll gladly do it. If I have the opportunity to put you up for a few days (assuming you're not a threat!) get you back on your feet, no problem. However, if you want me to put you or your kids through College, then GFY. If you want me to pay you or your medical bills, GFY. If you expect me to pay for your mortgage the same. It's this "illusion" of caring people get carried away with. Caring for people doesn't mean you'll pay for their existence.

You don't need me to show you that you are a little, whiny, teen-melodramatic, non-contributing, sh*t-starting, underpaid b*tch.

Merry Christmas!

So I hear 125 let go in January. Could be more. I'm just writting what I hear.

I've heard it all:

SH told recurrent 300 getting axed in January.

Everyone post contract getting axed in January.

50 at a time. First 50 getting axed in January and will get priority in reserve bucket before leaving.

Really thats funny because I was just in the last recurrent class and Scott said nothing about 300 being axed. He said furloughing was an option though. How can they furlough 300 when only 137 are post contract.

You must be new to this game. They can do anything they want. Then you have to file a grievance and go all the way thru arbitration. A year later, then and only then, a pilot might get his back pay and thats it.

I had dinner with SH and BH yesterday and they discussed furloughing all the pilots and replacing them with the FA's, and keeping them at there current pay rates. They were also considering putting the rampers in the back to replace the FA's since they have such strong work ethic. They're still trying to figure out how to replace the rampers.
