More Hostages at AAI

[Pimpin']

Two more captains fired this week for “attempts to disrupt and increase the costs of AirTran’s operations.”

They were fired for doing what every Captain at AAI should be doing right now. Taxiing at a safe speed and writing up known maintenance deficiencies.

I have two questions.

Is anyone who wasn't already there now ready to go to war?

And if not, What will it take to get you there?

"Should be doing right now"?

I was always under the impression that those were just a few of the responsibilities that came with the job. I didn't think that it was airline/season specific.

Expect one more, for a total of five.

That is what this pilot group has been doing for 5 years. And that has resulted in management taking huge bonuses and us getting squat. And I have seen nothing illegal being done by our pilot group. Actually the opposite, they are much more legal flying airplanes without any mx items at safe speeds. I would say we are much safer because I no longer see the rush rush rush at any cost to get the flight out on time. And our management thinks this is a job action instead of trying to keep our passengers safe. I sure hope we take this to the media.

What's ALPA been saying/doing about this?

So, I guess they'll be hiring and upgrading now? General Lee, now's your chance.

 

[ThisistheDream]
