USAPA's Illegal Job Action Causing Pilot Terminations.

[TWA Dude]

APA getting sued, you mean? The 40,000,000 judgement which AMR ended up forgiving?

Actually, it was a $75 million judgement and AA forgave only half of it.

Ten Eastholes to be fired for listening to USAPA. I love it.

Can you exchange ten line pilots for one union president?:laugh:

Dork!

USAPA never told anyone not to do their distance learning.

What are you going to do when they close PHX?

Hi Weasel......nice retort!!!...It's really exasperating trying to challenge an opponent who comes to the table with no integrity, knowledge or wit with an unarmed arsenal!!

USAPA may not have "told" anyone not to do their distance learning, but the intent was implied..Therefore being a "Good Union Pilot" may cost your brothers and sisters their careers.

If being "ONBOARD" makes you happy and self fulfilled, by all means, GO FOR IT....

Yes, in the future I do see the PHX base being closed....USAir has never been competitive in the WEST only because they retrench and retreat at any competitive battle because they think only PHL and CLT are somehow the only money makers...When WN gets their ETOPS certification, you can bet the Doogie will say we cant compete with them and pull out of the Hawaii market....Crappy strategy, but it is what it is.

So I guess my last few years remaining after they close PHX and a joint contract is implemented, about five years, I will be able to fly your highly cherished CLT-BUF, PHL-ITH, east coast crap routes instead of PHX-HNL, PHX-OGG,PHX-LIH, PHX-KOA....

Would you please be my first officer??

Your arguments on this web site don't pass the smell test.

Happy Flying...........On the east coast..

Captairbusbb....Cheers!!

I know ten pilots that would gladly exchange Cleary's head for their jobs back!

Nah. Cleary probably promised there would be 40 virgins waiting for them after they got fired. You think he'll deliver?

I haven't heard of ten pilots being fired. It's a myth.

Firing pilots for not finishing "Computer Distant Learning" is complete BS. I mean, is not that they flew airplanes recklesly and put people's lives in danger. US Airways management is in the process of taking as many hostages as they can, plain and simple.

That may be true but it's also true that a number of pilots are deliberately putting themselves in harm's way. For that reason I have no sympathy.

And the funniest part is that it's all for moot: Parker has stated there'll be no contract until the seniority "dispute" is settled so USAPA's little tantrums are completely irrelevant.

 

[vetrider]

Has anyone been fired yet? It aint gonna happen.

FYI putting yourself in harms way is a very common tactic of union pilots. Behaving like a bunch of sheep will get you no where. UAL pilots have a mandatory test due today. Not many have complied in an effort to show management we will not cooperate, I guess you have no sympathy for us either.

 

[TWA Dude]

None whatsoever. Deliberate non-compliance with company procedures is grounds for termination and you do so at your own risk. There are plenty of ways to send a message without risking your job.

Isn't Lye Hogg the bloke that got the Pilgrim DHC-6 on to a frozen pond when it was experiencing a severe cockpit fire??

That response says it all about you. Wow management loves you.

Love is in the air ...

Speaking of management love ... There has been a little memo on wings since yesterday.

Excerpt:

Currently a wide variety of lanyards, badge backers and clips are worn by employees to secure their
company-issued ID and airport badges. This causes confusion as it doesn’t present the professional look
that we are striving to achieve in accordance with our goals to consistently deliver Reliability,
Convenience and Appearance for our customers. It also is, quite frankly, creating divisiveness among our
workforce as lanyards, badge backers and other ID holders are often used to promote individual and
organizational agendas that are counterproductive to creating a positive working environment for all
employees.

So, any idea when the court will rule on the company case?

This judge doesn't do anything quickly. She could call for a bench trial or simply issue a ruling at any time. Figure on six months to two years. Then the appeal...

El Maniac Presidente' sure seems to be upset about something. Could it be his advice is now costing his cronies their careers?

No myth. Fact.

I hope they Fire every single one of those coward yellow lanyard wearers.
