First everyone forgets that Mesa signed what they signed cause they didnt have scope (they do now), remember Freedom Airlines? Now there is scope.
No ALPA isnt going to wave a magic wond and you knew that. It would be narrow minded to think so and no one should have such expectations. What...
The reson arent arent sneaking over there is that they dont give out amnesty like we do. Also, in Europe you wont become a citizen by the mere fact that you were born there. They have much tougher immigration rules and protect their workers.
it is also a myth that they pay more in income taxes...
What you are assuming here is that anyone with 1000 PIC in a 1900 can get hired at the majors. The 1000 pic only allows you to send in your app, it does not mean you will get an a interview or if you get the interview it does not mean you will get the job. meanwhile if you took the Jet job you...
This is not true as I have frinds At Mesa that have filed a grievance and got taken care of. Mesa or whatever airline its your job to follow up on your grievance. It takes some time.
Its called bidding dude. transfers are at company discretion or you can base trade with another pilot. You can bid for the position and after it is awarded you will advance. Its stated in our contract that the company needs to have at least 2 bids per year. Did you ever read your contract during...
Your statements show you mere ignorance on this subject. What you fail to mention is without a union the above mentioned companies would have had free reign to do what they wished vs negotiating. You also forgot to mention that the contract changes did not happen over night and took some time...
Is the female Capt that grabbed a screw driver and tried to fix the cowling in front of the feds and then flew off without calling maintenance still there?
If you are going to argue a point then you need to know what you are talking about. Based on what my friends at skywest are saying the company is harassing them about pins, access to crew rooms, access to new hire info etc.. You know very well that the company is banking on the new hires not to...
Whats the deal with this launch program at comair? Is it part of the interview? Seems kinda weird it would be part of the interview after the interview.
Its not a 100% override. Its an over block override. This means that if you go over block you get paid the extra percentage on the time over block only.
I beg to differ:
You forgot the rest of the retirement package. 401k up to 6% and a defined contribution plan of up to another 6%. That adds up to 12%.
Yeah, and you can also get a job waiting ables on your days off and not sleep and take a 3rd job and make more money. The extra work is...
Looking at your profile you are not an airline pilot so you would not understand the full benefits of a Union. The likes of you always claim that the union protects people who deserve to be fired anyway. What you fail to mention is we are all human and one step away from committing a FUBAR. You...
Its not 6%. Its 1.95% and it is tax deductible so 25-40% will come back depending on your tax bracket. So if you make a 100K ( eventhough I doubt it) you will pay $1950 of which $500 to $800 will come back to you in form of tax savings. So for a pilot that makes a 100K ( not the majority) that...
I disagree with your statement about most pilots having voted for a union and that is why the drive failed. If people had actually voted 4 years ago they would have had a contract by now. Unfortunately most pilots including the XJT people who were hired as a result of the CLE flying and ALPA’s...
