UPS Chief Pilot Breaks in for Schedule Change

[instructordude]

Where do you work??? I just want to make sure that if for some ever reason you choose to apply to Alaska, the hiring board is forewarned. Actually, do me a favor, and tell them that you would willing to violate the contract in order to enable. Please....I beg you too.

Answering the phone is not against any contract.

BTW, your company would love a guy like me.

You are a prime example of what is wrong with this industry... Go back to your 172 and let the rest of us try to salvage this profession.

No company wants a guy like you. Unfortunately, you probably "act" well in an interview.

This word is against the forum rules and will get you some time off. Just warning you.

I don't agree with the ACP tactics regarding breaking into the room but I am sick and tired of hearing about guys making 100K plus who are too lazy to answer the phone and help out the company. I have an idea that allows you to have 30 days off a month...........quit. It would give guys like me who are salivating for a chance to work at UPS and don't mind helping out the company by answering the phone and being a team player.

Guys,guys,guys,
This is a classic example of a guy on break, his real job is the webmaster for the NAMBLA site, he is no threat to any of you, but your sons are not so safe if they are under 14. By "a team player" he means take one in the pooter!
BAAAHAAA

I didn't post a list...I just used the word.

As far as answering the phone...the pilots and the company agreed to the terms and conditions contained within the Collective Bargaining Agreement or CBA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_bargaining). If someone changes the terms of what is contained within the the CBA overtime the new term, answering your phone for example will become the norm or status quo. Which undermines the agreed to terms and conditions, allowing further degradation of the CBA.

What if that pilot, who was based in SDF, lived in ANC and bid those trips knowing there was a 96 hour layover in ANC every other week and therefore he could spend more time at home with his family.

Or what if the CBA dictated that you hourly rate was 75.50 and hour and they decided to pay you 75.00?

Or what if the CBA dictated you should have no less than 12 hours of rest in base, but the company started scheduling you to have 11:58 minutes of rest? Does the two minutes make a difference to you as far as rest is concerned? No. But less rest soon become the norm, every few months they reduce the rest by a few minutes. Soon you will be left with 11:00 hours then 10:00 hours and so on.

So, instructordude, my question to you is at what point is it acceptable to give the company a little leeway on the CBA? And at what point does it cross the line?

Instructordude wouldn't get it if you shoved it down his pie hole.

 

[JerryLundegaard]

What are out of base pilots doing sitting around on a trip for 96 hours anyway?

Great, then tell me who you fly for. I'll make sure you get a proper interview here. Like you said, I'm sure Alaska would be lucky to have a guy like you...

+1 Mookie. There are 94 of us that would beat him to a Detroit pulp given the chance. Whenever your self rightous,I just want to see my flamebaiting name in print,DB's grow up and see that selling out and " helping out the company " realize that you are contributing absolutely zero for our profession. Good luck with that next job interview....

Instructordude is in costume. He flames, you guys bite.

but the funny things is- if you work for a legacy- you have created thousands of pilots who will never have good contracts b/c of the nature of the outsourcing industry your weakness created- MOST of whom are more than willing to fly for VA at their rates b/c they are independent, and the rates are a legitimate step up. You shouldn't be pissed at him and his flame- you should be pissed at yourself for cutting off so many thousands from the career you've enjoyed-

The irony is you caused your own paycut. Get outsourcing in check before you throw stones.

Back on topic-

THIS IS AMAZING!!

I'm willing to fly all kinds of schedules for Southwest- but have no idea what i'd do if they showed up inside my hotel room... Unbelievable.

Apparently this is an old item- April?. What's the update on it? I hope that ACP and the hotel staff are in some legal trouble by now.

Oh my!! We can't have that can we? As far as I'm concerned, they ought to painfully brand the forehead of every scab of every profession!!
