I work quite a bit. Haven't met one certain yes. Knew one who is now a no. Flew with a guy close to retirement. Even he was a no fully knowing it was going to cost him a few bucks.
Ty I would encourage you to talk to you rep about this. The line that PCL is touting is the company line which doesn't make sense for the reasons you listed. He seems to be trying to manage expectations. I'm not sure if he's doing it because he's in Mr. Babbitt's pocket, just out of pure hatred...
First even is "Randy" is not your buddy as you claim you and Mr. Babbit have common interest in wanting to see the SWAPA pilots get a bad deal. Him because it's good for himself and Mr. Kelly. You purely out of spite.
Second we are not friends.
Third I guess we'll see if you and Mr. Babbits...
While I respect your overall knowledge of labor law, I think I'll trust the interpretation of SWAPA and the subject matter experts versus yours, a disgruntled former employee who has no love for SWA, SWAPA, or anything associated with either. I wonder if you have been asked by your ALPA buddy...
The current CBA has no pay rate for those aircraft. Also it doesn't provide for the partition that the company claims the FAA is demanding. It's not so simple. SWAPA and the SMEs disagree with your interpretation.
As for the pilot unity....to say I have been shocked in a good way by what I've...
I disagree. We have a very restrictive section 1. And Mr. Kelly has ordered a whole lot of aircraft not covered by our CBA. They can either come to an acceptable agreement, or I for one, am very content to let Mr. Kelly take those airplanes to the desert, part them out, sell them, or melt them...
My point not so well stated is that my default vote is no. Of course I'll read, listen and consider IF this becomes a TA. I am very cautious because given the Un labor friendly climate in the country right now Mr.Kelly and Mr. Babbit have no incentive to improve our lot in life unless we have...
I have a friend who has been working overseas for several years as a wide body capt. He has been flying on a license issued in the country where he working. he has has an unrestricted US ATP with several type ratings. Has anyone been thru the process of conversion and if so what is the least...
Blue first I'm not former AAI. Second historically that pilot SLIs are arbitrated much differently than other work groups. Look at Alaska/Jet America for the extremes that arbitrators are willing to ignore to prevent a shuffle of seats and added training cost to the acquiring carrier. What...
They might but they don't care. An arbitrator would have given them at least DOH (probably better) and they would have most likely kept all of the Capt seats with a fence around ATL all on the SWAPA contract. They don't give a crap about the effects of that on the non AAI pilots. They didn't...
Most SW posters just don't get it and never will. Many AAI pilots feel cheated because they expected better in an arbitration. Given that whatever positives there might be in this for them (if any) don't matter because they expected MUCH MUCH more. Its like getting a $100 Christmas bonus when...
Capn Butthead,
Granted you have some background for your statements. Guys like you and I who have been there done that are a vast minority here. I also agree that it sucks that these pilots will carry the accident or incident with them for the rest of their careers. Its a flaw in the system that...
Capn Butthead,
I find it very disturbing that you would make these comments. First the facts aren't known. Was it an ATC error? Did the tow bar break? Did the brakes on the tug fail? Have you ever pushed an airplane in your life and do you have a clue what could have gone wrong? Was the ramp...
