Completely unrelated question.
Can someone tell me where you get your black uniform jackets? Our newest "lightweight" black jacket at Southwest is a flipping disaster. Wondering if I picked up a Virgin jacket instead if our flight ops people would even know the difference (I doubt it).
PM...
*chuckle* Giving me way too much credit. There are a couple of other gentlemen really ramping up the information campaign, I just wrote a couple sections (Sec 1 and Red-eye/CDO language). They're doing the heavy lifting, I just provided some analysis prior to joining the BoD.
I'm only...
I wrote 3 pairings in about 15 minutes to see what the change would do, based on trips I've flown this month with a red-eye built in somewhere (there's no language to prevent flipping your circadian rhythm during a pairing by the way).
In two of them (legal pairings per the proposed CBA and...
Doesn't matter what we're bringing, it's already approved and it's already happening. That's the point.
We don't need Scope relief to go to these places. We're already doing it.
If, in the future, we hit a wall and need the scope relief, they can come to us with a solid plan like I mentioned...
Thanks for the advice, but no, thanks.
We're expanding just fine as it is. We don't need to service every city in the Americas, just the good ones and we're making headway just fine.
Maybe, when the music stops and they eventually need something, and can explain why, not obfuscate the issue...
This isn't a political debate... wrong thread. This is about the T.A. and negotiating with the company. It has nothing to do with legislation or anything else.
No one said we wanted to fly all over the world in a 737, but we certainly can cover N America, Mexico, the Caribbean, and most of S...
I don't mind. ;)
Seriously though, I'm just advocating we keep what we have and go back to the table, not try to choke the golden goose.
It'll take the pilots showing up for picketing events and actually doing what pilots have to do to get a contract. If they won't, then we're pretty much...
Well-said, sir. Hoping to have Sec 1 done by the end of the weekend.
I've reached out to JL and he and I are going to try to coordinate a joint product that would have Scope, the FULL pros/cons list, some breakdown of the worse sections, some of which you listed very well, trying to keep it...
The last part I disagree with you, simply because revenue is revenue, and in the off-season those other carriers are looking to fill their seats - I doubt they'll complain if we send them business when they need it.
In the peak season we fly them for max profit, in the off-seasons we let...
Now, now... we're all on the same team. Simma,,, simma,,,
We have to CONSTRUCTIVELY persuade the Yes voters. Your approach MAY not be conducive to doing that... ;)
By the way, the NC *CLAIMS* that the company can only use foreign carriers, but I don't see that restriction yet, and I've been looking. The two things it can't use are:
1. Flags of Convenience - the alter-ego European carriers like Norwegian Air Shuttle, and
2. State Owned Enterprises - The...
Still working on it... The issue is that PDEW (Passenger DAILY Each Way) has two different metrics.
I see it as a way for the company to establish new service, get it up and running with 3-4 daily flights, then sub-service it to another carrier running only one flight every 3 or 4 days...
Oh I'm pissed off about that, too.
I'm just not appreciating the people who are trying to claim full COLA would have been worth hosing the AAI pilots. Not cool and would not be allowed anyway.
It's over. We're all on the same team now or we're going to get screwed. People need to start...
I'm angry about the manipulation of the BoD vote with many of them thinking they would get to send it out with a "NO" recommendation, then that was quashed before it ever got voted on.
Other than that, yeah, we are where we are.
Thanks, I appreciate that, and yes, we really need to do that.
No one's going to do that. That's just a few OSW pissed off about the integration.
The BoD was vehement with PJ that they would not allow that and the Mediator would never go for it, either. Way too divisive.
Exactly. I've been writing eMails to the Bod every other day all week leading up to the vote explaining that.
Unfortunately, many of them don't get it, and now, if we can kill it at all, we'll tip our hand on just how much/little they need to get the 50%+1 solution, and it won't be Scope.
I...
