Look at the percentages. ABX and ASTAR are about even in regards to pilots lost and airplanes parked. You can't see the forest for the trees. A lot of good folks lost good jobs and have families that are suffering. Trash talking about runways and sorters keeps one from having any true...
If you are the same FAJ at ATI that you were at Astar, you were a whiner then and are so now. Many of your posts wished for ABX's demise then and you promote no more valid discussion now. You would have jumped at the chance to go to ATI at your former Astar seniority, but the opportunity wasn't...
You need to calm down, your shrill voice is annoying. That republican regime is partially to blame, but the congress,(who appropriates the money) was democrat controlled for a big part of that time. Can you say Barney Franks and Chris Dodd? They are almost single handily responsible for the...
Dear confused,
It is good to know we have so much concern about our contract from those that couldn't see the pitfalls in their own thru the dollar signs in front of them. I have to ask why do you even care?
Just because the NTSB recommends something, doesn't mean the FAA does anything about it. Someone usually has to be killed so it is cost effective for the airlines to act.
The good news is that ABX doesn't have the severance money. The bad news is that DHL has it and won't release it until the company and union agree how to divide it up. The worst news is that hete wants most of it to erase his liabilities and not give it to the pilots.
Having a crew member show up 3 hours late in China for departure is hosing things up in anybody's playbook. Crossing into Chinese airspace without permission is hosing things up. Sticking it to ANA on start up costs is hosing things up. Need me to go on? ANA had enough and used the economy as...
First off, both 76 schedulers said they couldn't operate with the surplusses. Secondly, the company never thinks these things out in advance. I believe they make a lot of announcements in the hope that it will cause panic in the pilot group and we will pressure the e-board to settle on some...
If you work at ABX, you know it is not the case. The money cannot be used for anything at all. It all falls under the heading of retention and/or severance. DHL has said it is for retention of those who will stay and provide service and severance for those who will leave because of their...
You're right about not having a dog in this fight. Plus you only know what people on this board are telling you. Some of the pay is for continued service from May 08 til the end. Everyone deserves part of that pie. We still operate in the high 90% for on time deliveries. Dhl is paying...
He said the plan would be on base pay at the time of the May announcement. Some junior folks(like me) are getting surplussed for now and will probably be furloughed sooner than later. Please send me a link to the crystal ball you are gazing into that knows who will be let go and who will get to...
