    US FO sticks it to FA's

    Usair was ALPA at the time (2003 to 2006 when the thing happened) so prolly need to ask them.

    Are Low time new hires at regionals safe?

    From the left seat it sure looks like the flight schools don't teach x-wind landings anymore. And in some cases not at all! Not a check airman right now, but have been in past, my basic rule is "would I put my wife and kid on a airplane with this guy?" for criteria of passing the ride, ioe...

    What is the status of the ALPA De-certification vote at US Airways?

    Sorry no chest thumping going on here. just telling you what I see everyday over there. From my point of view if NIC is the way it is going to be, USAirways is already dead. The guys most hurt by it are also the ones with enough voting power to make sure that this mess never gets worked out...

    What is the status of the ALPA De-certification vote at US Airways?

    I still guarantee that if it is agreed to let East Keep their retirements and West to keep their retirements and split the growth up between the two this thing is over in a week. Both get what they brought to the table, both get a taste of the new stuff. Anything else I think will kill...

    What is the status of the ALPA De-certification vote at US Airways?

    Ahh young grasshopper, now you see why the push at USAPA is doing so well over there, ALPA MEC is the one that pushed for that DOH to the bitter end. The pilots just want some kind of fence to salvage their careers. If the current MEC wont do it, and ALPA national insists on shoving the nic...

    What is the status of the ALPA De-certification vote at US Airways?

    I think if the west were to go for that we would already be done with this mess. All I have ever heard from the guys is "Protect the east retirements with fences" I don't think the west MEC is willing to give up the widebodies or bus seats for the amount of time required to get these guys...

    What is the status of the ALPA De-certification vote at US Airways?

    They ran out of time, the other guys haven't yet. I can say that for most I speak with, they honestly feel that there is nothing that they can lose, and since they have the power to kill this carrier, or make it work, the rest of us that do have something to lose better come up with a...

    What is the status of the ALPA De-certification vote at US Airways?

    Whenwas the last time you heard an AWA guy say anything other than "Nic award" when the fence subject was brought up?

    What is the status of the ALPA De-certification vote at US Airways?

    So the guys who will never see the left seat again should just say O.K.? They have nothing left to lose except a crappy paying right seat position and retirement as a 30 year F/O. They can get that at any other carrier in the country, and if Airways goes down the tubes they have still lost...

    What is the status of the ALPA De-certification vote at US Airways?

    How has this willfully harmed an AWA guy? We are all still in the same positions that we were when this mess started. We still have no growth that was not planned before the merger. A few airways guys have upgraded and guys were recalled but that was driven primarily by the East retirements...

    What is the status of the ALPA De-certification vote at US Airways?

    Why should the AWA guy have a Captain slot post merger when his seniority wouldn't hold it pre merger? The question goes both ways sir.

    What is the status of the ALPA De-certification vote at US Airways?

    To be frank that is a point of view. You didn't watch it from our point of view. For me the Nic award is not a factor, bottom of the list is bottom of the list for me. For others such as my friend that was hired in 1986 and never sat a day of furlough at airways it probably comes into play...

    What is the status of the ALPA De-certification vote at US Airways?

    Considering that you were not hired until December of 2004 you are pretty bold to discount those of us who lived through the destruction of the airline. You may not like the reasons that I gave you about how and why I feel the way that I do, but I was there and you were not. I watched as ALPA...

    What is the status of the ALPA De-certification vote at US Airways?

    Yes the union had to agree to all of it for the company to be allowed to do it. That is a very simplified version, but in the end that is the case. There is an ALPA signature on each one of those agreements. It is not so much the fact that it happened as the way it happened, I sat for 6...

    What is the status of the ALPA De-certification vote at US Airways?

    Why I submitted the card. 1. ALPA agreed to do away with the pension with no pilot vote. 2. ALPA allowed the increase from 85 hours to 95 hours a month. that kept the furloughees out another 2 years at least. 3. ALPA allowed the sales outsourcing of the 170's and 175's, keeping the...

    SHHHH this was supposed to be a secret!!!!!!!!!

    Just last month we (the industry) had a new regional capt on a very heavily automated airplane have to make 4 tries to get into an airport.....VFR Wx was clear and 10 miles with light wind and he missed three times before managing to figure out how to get the thing on the ground. The F/O was a...

    US Airways bid 08-02

    Still quite a few over there, hire dates range from mid 99 thru the end of hiring in 2000. Also there are all the CEL pilots from Mid Atlantic. I do not know the total # of CEL guys left. Odd part of it is that due to the recalls being able to pass on the 190 and the cels taking the 190...

    Regional Pilots with "B-747" stickers on their flight bags

    Strange times these are. Due to furloughs and such I ended up being an ex-747 driver that was flying for a regional. However I do not have a 747 sticker on my bag but I was a regional pilot with 1000+ hours of 747 time flying all over the world. The last 6 years has left some very strange...

    US Airways hiring

    Anything that forms a joint contract right now hurts the east guys unless the retirement thing can be worked out. They are better off as a stand alone and they intend to stay that way until the retirement issue is fixed. The way I laid it out above the west guys lose nothing....except the...

    US Airways hiring

    Hmm, same response I got last time when I explained what the east guys were looking for in this mess. Too fair for you I guess. As an east guy who talks with the guys most affected everyday by this I can say that they are never ever going to accept the way it is now. Destruction of the...
