9e

How many damned man hours are we going to lose before this bankruptcy is over? Work your ass off to move everything mesaba down to the mem strip mall and lose all the experienced English speakers. Move to the downtown building we can't afford, move back to eagan. Change fsdos a couple times. Jepps, no lido, no jepps. AQP!- wait wait cancel that!- oh we need that, crap! I'm sure there is more, and this doesn't count the perpetual training bubble we will never escape.

I understand missteps happen, it is the perpetual waste that drives me insane.

I have a pretty good handle on the whole situation and the pain to deal with thing is very much overstated. From what I know XJ management could be equally as big of a pain as the FSDO itself, like being difficult and just plain resisting the FAA on certain issues.

By the way, with Delta in the driver seat this waste will not continue.

I'm very curious to see what happens right after may1. The true plan for this company will slowly reveal itself I believe.

It really boiled down to a couple of decision-making level people on both sides (FAA and MALA). There was a lot of bad blood there. However, to totally blame the MSP FSDO would not be accurate.

3 sides to every story: FAA, Airline, and The Truth.

AMEN! It's like the whole thing is run by a bunch of low IQ people who suffer from extreme short attention spans, ADD, and who are perpetually drunk and on speed and shrooms, and who love making changes as often as possible without any strategic direction.

Who's DW?

I don't want to name names on a public forum, so I'll give you a riddle.

First name, D... very common 5 character name that begins and ends with D.

Last name, opposite color of black.

You sir, not only named a management person, but don't even know what that person does anymore.

From a pilot standpoint, it's nothing compared the the old position.

FYI- a good bit had changed since you left, especially names/titles.

So he's still there. Nothing really changed then? I can name management (the good ones) who are no longer at 9E because their job was either gone, or had to re-interview and didn't get it back.

I never said that... If you "knew" what was going on, you would be aware of the fact that many have a job until the end of may or June with the hq move underway. Some will remain and move, others will leave.

Flyer-the old 9E is long gone and that goes the same for the old XJ. Things are a changing and we who are all still stuck here can only hope it will change for the best. It will be hard to remain positive as Delta just got done raping us in our contract (yes, it is my assumption that they were behind what happened to us). We can only hope that there will be some positives here and some FO's will get a chance at an upgrade because of movement. Once Delta starts hiring there will be about 70-100 flows gone and then any Delta takes from the Bridge agreement.

I do see Delta changing our name-it would make sense to try to begin on a new footing. I would also expect them to make the operation run smoother by attempting to put some quality people in and hopefully changing some of the crappy policies the Pinnacle has in place. You can see this by them taking over IT and hopefully they will get their scheduling under control and stop being idiots and misusing crews in a wasteful manner. I guess they are also working on bringing down the fence and one would hope we would have the ability to be able to fly all three aircraft like skywest can-yes, I said three types of aircraft. 200-700-900. If rumors are true- Seems Delta mainline will also be doing engine work down in ATL. We will be Delta in all but name, pay and of course, RESPECT.

Oh, this ought to be good. I can't wait to see how Flyer and not so shyguy shoot holes in your optimisim

 

[Flyer1015]

Nope, all I can say is best of luck and hope things get better, or that the good guys get out soon to greener pastures.
