I ended up buying the Aerocoast pro pilot bag. Not sure I'm loving it though. It's a little bit large and there is not a great place for a bottle of water and/or my keys.
I think he was being sarcastic.
Most of the civilian guys at SW understand all too clearly the dangers of selling scope. A significant percentage of SW pilots post 9/11 came from the furlough lists of other airlines. It didn't take a rocket surgeon to what happened as the DC9, 737-200, MD80...
Since GK and RB are pretty much using an old pattern bargaining playbook, how much do you want to bet a 'no' vote is followed by an immediate stop of hiring, press releases that say "well we WERE going to grow to 50 cities in the Caribbean but NOW.." and a furlough of a few hundred guys to show...
I just went to the road show and listened to the
NC discuss the scope. It really doesn't seem as bad as what I had been reading on the inter webs. I'm hyper sensitive to scope giveaways since I lost a few gigs to RJs in the past. I've got a lot of reading to do before I throw the flag and say "no"
Geez. Calm down. They're just pilots. Just like you. While you go home and play golf or coach your kids soccer game between trips, these guys spend month after month heads down pouring over language. And yet people treat them like they're taking money from your pocket. Like the TA or hate it...
So would you rather the BOD have voted it down? If they did the angry mob would be lighting torches because they didn't get a chance to see/vote on it. And the company PR machine would be full steam about the activist board that wouldn't let the pilots see the "industry leading deal". The...
Well, either way I think it speaks much louder to have the majority of 8000 pilots vote no than 23 guys who the company already believes are out of touch.
Could be. Do you know anything about the NMB budget being spent for the year already? Supposedly was no $$ left in the budget for any further mediated sessions in 2015.
I think - respectfully - that you're inserting foul play where there is none. They freely admit that they didn't like the deal but that the moderator wouldn't support them in any further negotiations. If the 23 member board voted the AIP down then the company spins it as an activist board out of...
I actually did mention caps, albeit briefly, in my rant.
Here is how they helped at the operator where I worked pre 9/11. We had an 85 hour cap. That meant that lines weren't constructed with more than 85 - although many were constructed with less. You would bid and pick up to get as close to...
