Your asking the impossible. Just put your stuff in and see what happens. If you don't like what you hear at an interview about an aircraft assignment, don't accept the job.
I'll tell you this. I made far more from New Jersey unemployment benefits than I did first year pay at Skywest. F'd up man!
I'm just glad my first year pay only lasted 7 months.
Don't know. I'm trying not to put the horse before the cart on this one. If I'm at my current job I will most likely go back. Of course it depends in what AA looks like at that time. If I am fortunate enough to land a FedEx, CAL, SWA type of job, so long AA.
When will AA start hiring again, that's simple! About the time I get my recall. Ahh the joys of being the junior guy!
I've done the DFW-EWR commute many years ago. It wasn't that bad back then either.
Talk amongst yourselves. A buddy of mine who's not in flight ops at AA, but works there in some capacity came up with this.
AA will 'sell' the 757 fleet to FedEx.
At 12 A/C per year transfer starting in 2007, AA will be paid for winglets and cargo conversions as well as win a contract for...
A real problem with the PBS is that mgmt. can make changes and does at any time without our consent. I know big surprise.
PBS won't allow you to time out by the end of the year. It will cap your block time to keep you working. We don't get paid for timing out anyhow.
We cannot bid for...
No age limit will ever solve the woes of those who need the money. They can raise the age limit to infinity and there will be those who will find a reason to call fowl.
I don't want to have to rely on a higher age to make the same gains that should have been attained by age 60. Payscales will...
Sorry man, wish I was there. I would've enjoyed a nice chat. I think the new guys are fed some wierd sh!t in groundschool. You know, those fear grenades.
Things are great for SKW Inc. I wouldn't go as far as to say that things are great with employee relations. It's alot better than others out there, but stop to take some time to talk to the rampers and see what they think. Talk to the pilots who aren't trapped in the bubble.
In my opinion most...
I don't think it was only ALPA that pushed for the items. CAPA (Coalition of Airline Pilots) worked together to achieve what is beneficial to the industry.
Just look at the change in the last 4 years. It's not the same airline as it was and it will not be the same as it is now in the future. Mgmt. has protected themselves nicely. Why are the pilots so afraid to stand up for themselves?
That's just the reality of the airline biz. The guys in Yuma were happy in their little world too, but reality set in. I'm sure the ASA DFW guys were happy too. Working for any airline, especially a contract airline is going to have unpleasantries.
