I’d be very happy to have some of those good ole MEM trips back that you guys got. Guess Delta felt like it would be best for us to exchange some routes. So instead of SHV turns I get the JFK and LGA junk.
At least we have jobs. I know some who are really down and out right now.
This may be an informative thread for folks that are new to this business and have decisions to make in their future. Scab lists are VERY real in all areas of aviation. I remember in the mid 90’s at a previous airline when we had aircraft that were experiencing problems with repeated write-ups...
I used work on these things and I’ve never known of any to “burn up”. The sock that you are referring to is called a “coalescer” and it stays wet from separating water. I just don’t see how a wet coalescer sock could possibly burn. They do get nasty and make the plane smell awful but I don’t...
I used the 850s for one trip and didn’t care for them at all.
My Bose got crushed and while they were in the shop I tried a new 850. I was hoping that I might actually like the 850s and start using them instead because they are so compact. The 850s are nothing close to the Bose in...
My guess is that it’s not true but if your certain you may want to contact the FAA, apparently they don’t know about it yet. I just checked the preliminaries and this is the only wing tip issue that I see.

Not sure if this is any indication but the MEM FSDO recently moved into a much larger facility. It’s rumored by some local government personal that the extra space was needed for part 121 expansions along with the probability of overseeing a relocated Colgan certificate.
I still don’t...
If it’s the FA that I’m thinking of, he worked as a FA at 9E once before and then quit to go to one of those $60K “shake and bake” flight training schools with the hopes of returning as a jet pilot. When he returned the hiring had stopped and they offered him a job as a flight attendant until...
They did quite a bit of interviewing a year or so ago and built up a healthy size pool. I’m told they estimate that about ½ of the swimmers have found other employment and would not take a job at 9E now. That leaves about 200+ inline. They already had the interview once so I don’t know if they...
Hey wildblue, sorry if I hit a nerve with you. If it makes you feel any better you are somewhat correct. The seniors do make a good living and get 18 days off. They are also scared to death to call in sick. Trust me, I’ve flown with the sick bastards. Their retirement sucks. Their family can...
Ridgeback, where do you get all that crazy math? No pilot would have gotten anywhere near 40k. None would have gotten a few hundred bucks either. A very junior FO would have gotten somewhere around 2k and a 4-5 year CA would have got about 8k. The top would have got about 15K. Many of the union...
Awesome! It was looking like some were beginning to back down and cave in on this turd.
Good job! These guys work their butts off and try hard to do the best they can with what they have to work with. All they ask for is a reasonable contract.
Now it’s time to give them what...
The seniors at MEM will be a yes because they have already given in to the fact that there is no future in store for them. They are captured by the numbconna pky spell and are perfectly happy being on the bottom of the bucket with no desire or capability of ever improving their lifestyle...
Most say they are voting no but I know a few that will vote yes on this turd. They are unsure of what will happen if they vote no and they would rather be certain of having a pathetically toxic job than none at all. It's sad but true.
Is this true? Does ALPA put pressure on it’s negotiators to give just a little in the final stages so they don’t have to hand out any strike funds? I hope this isn’t true but money talks.
This deal better have some kind of junior man protection or I’m signing nothing anyway.
