XJT "imploding"?

Well we all know you're not a pilot but an internet troll. Now go get ready, don't you have to be at the airport for the midnight shift dumping real pilot's airplane lavs, I think you're assigned the RJ lavs tonight. Putz!

I'm glad your miserable Nevets! It makes me smile

That's nice that other people's misery makes you happy. Says a lot about a human being. But I'm not miserable. I thank God for what he gives me everyday and am grateful to Him for his grace. I will admit though that the more JA does what he does (or not do what is right), it disgusts me. I shake my head every time I think about it. Call me naive but it's still amazes me sometimes that one man can be that greedy and heartless.

By the way, care to share your vote awesome vote predictions again for the EGL and RAH TAs? I'm not a betting man but if I were, I would say that only PSA and Skywest pilots will end up having taken concessions during this round. Pass easily? What say you?

a 13+ year ASA no voter...if you think what JA is doing is greedy and heartless I disagree. his job is stockholder value not employee bank accounts. Sometimes they are one in the same, often times not. In our business we are uniquely restricted in options vs sales, doctor, IT guy, etc. they have tried and would be doing the exact same thing at majors... problem is that current environment majors are too big to fail. No politician is going to let a Major liquidate in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas or NYC. to many constituents and jobs. I wish we did, but the regional guy doesn't have the same luxury/protection... like it not, it is what it is. truthfully the only leverage I have ever seen in the regional model is what we have going right now. they cant staff what they have and there isn't much more they can take from a regional puke anymore. plus with Eagle, XJT and RAH all up at the same they have the ability to band together and force the regional management go back and renegotiate these ridiculous CPA they have with majors. the majors are printing money right now so the money is there... JA and company just need to actually go negotiate something operable vs taking huge penalties for performance or poorly negotiated CPA's and try to take it out on the crews via concessions... that tune just doesn't play anymore

The CEO has a lot of influence in decisions of his company. Sure, he has fiduciary responsibility to the shareholders but he is purposely paying for two upper management teams, two sets of systems and processes, two sets of departments, etc to run two separate airlines. He touted the $70 million in synergy costs reductions from merging ASA and XJT yet he chooses to keep those costs to run Skywest and XJT. That's what is immoral. The fact that he makes that conscience choice is disgusting!

I NEVER said it was illegal. But as a human being doing something to his fellow human beings (that all happen to work for him in order to make profits for his company), pitting them against each other's as if they were pit bulls in a dog fight, just make make more money is REPULSIVE! And it also bothers me that there are people that think that it's ok just because it's his job.

All people should do good when put in positions where they can do good. Jerry Atkin only chooses to do good by one set of people while not caring about others. Immoral

Nevets,

Dude, the only person here pitting the two groups against one another is YOU.

Nevets........JA isn't the sole roadblock in merging both carriers under the INC. umbrella. It's the Skywest pilots, as well. Just ask them. They're so hopped up on anti-union propaganda it's nuts. And yet, most want to eventually work for a union carrier. If the first officers there can upgrade, at your expense, they'd do it in a heart beat. Just engage them in conversation- most are surprisingly candid about this fact!

Um, say what? Obviously you weren't in the room when JA said he wanted us to take 16% pay cuts to bring us to parity with Skywest pilots. Im really beginning to think that all of you are this clueless. I guess that's better than knowing and still not caring.

No, Jerry Atkin doesn't have to listen to anyone other than his corrupt conscience. It's true. NOTHING stops him from waking up tomorrow and saying, let's merge the airlines, NOTHING! The Skywest pilots would NOT have a say if he did so.
