New SKW/ASA Rumor
Of what do you speak? I'll be interested to see what happens when SkyWest Airlines at the behest of the RAA, begins to use your CVR tapes however they see fit. Could that be what you're alluding to? -

Deal reached on new pilot hours
We did that with the airline industry. It was called regulation. If it were to return, you literally see half the airline jobs evaporate in a few years. -

New SKW/ASA Rumor
The ALPA goons have some speculation in regards to merging the list but not for the reason you all think it is. -

ASA PBS Passes
1) You can go in an bid trips by ordering how you like them. Will you get them? Depends on seniority. 2) I doubt you heard any rep say there would be growth as a result. However, without it and the norm for the industry is with it, we price ourselves out. Simple fact. We adapt and survive or we... -

I understand that although I don't think that was the entire intent. The reason why he/she (Change the avatar!) believes that is due to wide variety of folks want from their schedules. We will always get it? We can all wish right?. But there other guys such as the Number 6 guy that likes to work... -

Excellent synopsis. ASA pilots have arguably the best contract in the fee for departure segment yet carry one as though they have it worse than everyone else. The complainers that generally go overboard seem to have only ASA as their sole experience in the real world. Let them all go get some... -

Deal reached on new pilot hours
I find this to be a large problem that we have effective done to ourselves. While we all want some sort of protection against personal vendettas and an overzealous fed, we end up stuck with pilots that should not be in a airplane let alone command of a Part 121 plane. Seniority alone should not... -

Glad to hear you guys are doing your part. -

ASA Staffed Adequately??
The contract is only as good as the company that is willing to honor it. We have a good example of both in this case. But we'll see how you think when that contract is all that stands between you and either lost or the street. -

ASA Staffed Adequately??
About six months before it is used for live bidding purposes. As stated before, irrelevant at this point. I don't see the union giving any relief anytime soon on furloughs either. -

ASA Staffed Adequately??
It is a created staffing issue. They socialize as much as they can to make the numbers look adequate but when weather rolls in or a race happens, they run very short very quickly. -

No. The logic goes that if the company wants something, we negotiate to get what we can. When the pilot group wants something, the company negotiates to get what it wants out of the deal. Where are you that you think that everything will be fine and we can ask for and get anything? The you have... -

Wow! I guess I got put in my place by the flame baiter. Okay, how in the hell do we get language like that if we don't agree to work together on an issue. You think the company will just give up complete control? There is another safety valve there that includes arbitration. Get over yourself. -

Branson AirExpress takes off
Funny. Trans States was created to do that exact thing. Now, it is used an money making venture to screw pilots and so Hulas can invest in more goats for felching. -

PBR, give it a rest. Unlike SkyWest pilots and those who had it forced on the in BK, we were able to decide what sort of system we have and how it is administered. Instead of the huge savings the company could have realized, we got some of it back and took a considerable amount of control over... -

If it works well is to be determined. Let's just see how many loopholes they left open for management to play with. But hey, it can't be worse than the 2007 language, can it? How many other airlines have you worked for even looked at their work rules and QOL? Go do some research and let me know... -

Red Arrow Grievance
Not much we can do. I'd rather not see a greivance happen for the sole reqason we would likely lose. Next time we address the issue be it in Sec 6 or a MOU, we'd have a precedent to overcome rather than deal with the issue without any legal distinction. I'd love to nail them to the wall on it... -

3048 CVR Monitoring.
Four letters sent. I plan on making some phone calls next week to invite my reps to come out to the airport and talk to some pilots about this issue. I like some of the stuff DeMint does but this one wasn't thought out at all. I sent him one too. -
