The mandatory retirement age was changed from age 60 to 65 over 7 years ago. I read something the other day that might be appropriate to the discussion here. "You can't get on to the next chapter of your life if you keep rereading the last chapter." -

Except when it's not. https://www.alpa.org/portals/alpa/magazine/2005/Jan2005_originsage60rule.htm What would you have wanted in 1958? -

Safety wasn't a consideration when the rule was implemented. The safety argument showed up later to justify the existence of the rule. Since you can't get over it, you might as well understand it. Study the history surrounding the implementation of the rule. It was all about economics at AA. -

Third grade level thinking. Your arrested development of thought processing has resulted in you being doomed to living on the second floor of the outhouse of life. Enjoy your swim with all the turds down there. Nobody can "steal" anything from you that you don't possess. Idiot! -

New SkyWest Pay Package Riding Coattails of ASA/XJT
Nevets, A never ending argument. You simply drink a different flavor of kool-aide. SAPA didn't "invent" the program but was in the room at the table when it was presented and was able to insure some last minute changes to the program which were highly beneficial to the pilot group when the... -

New SkyWest Pay Package Riding Coattails of ASA/XJT
No. The point is ASA pilots were able to incorporate something into their contract that SKYW pilots already had. Unfortunately, it wasn't the exact same program but somewhat less beneficial. Again, pilots attacking other pilots is not productive. -

New SkyWest Pay Package Riding Coattails of ASA/XJT
The program was copied from SKYW. ASA's program is not quite as good as the SKYW program but that's where it came from. My check has averaged $824 per quarter over the past five years. Hope ASA/EXPJET JCBA can get that equalized or improved over what SKYW has. If you can, I wouldn't try and... -

New SkyWest Pay Package Riding Coattails of ASA/XJT
Nevets, Could you please describe the current profit sharing/bonus/incentive/whatever you want to call it program that exists at ASA and tell us where that came from? What does ASA call that anyway? Where did that come from? -

New SkyWest Pay Package Riding Coattails of ASA/XJT
What "regional" other than Skywest has Jepp Airside Service? It's been nice to leave 30 pounds off the bag hook since that started. Does that count for anything? 1.95% x $656,224.98 = $12,796.39 (That's what I've saved in dues since I've been at a non union carrier) Y'all have a good time... -

SkyWest Pilots cancel IAH-DFW for scope viloation!
That's what I'm wondering. Are you going to keep track? That was most certainly the implication of your original question. Whose to say what any applicants qualifications might be? Should we just assume he/she would be the most qualified of all applicants and his/her decision not to carry... -

SkyWest Pilots cancel IAH-DFW for scope viloation!
There's a stretch. What part of "no punitive action" don't you understand? Keep track. Let us know if the Captain involved seeks one of those positions and is not successful in getting it. We'll have something to talk about then, maybe. -

SkyWest Pilots cancel IAH-DFW for scope viloation!
Did their Chief Pilot also tell you that the Captain was in touch with him by telephone from the start of the situation? Did the Chief Pilot tell you he knew what was going on and was making phone calls to try and get the arbitration award complied with so the flight could launch but time passed... -

SkyWest IAH Base, What If ?
What is "lame" is saying "a non-union airline is coming in violating our contract and undermining our leverage." There are only two parties to the contract. Those parties are CAL management and, possibly, its successors and the CAL Pilot Group. Neither Skywest pilots nor Skywest management... -

SkyWest IAH Base, What If ?
I'm not threatened by anything you've written. I'm just trying to figure out the misdirected hostility. What role did mainline legacy pilots decision to bargain away jobs which were going to be performed by some pilots somewhere have to do with the career being gutted in the last decade? If... -

SkyWest IAH Base, What If ?
All Noise. No response to the question, "Why the disparity between Skywest and Republic?" Just more spewing of misdirected hostility. What would the Republic pilots be? Would they be scum too? -
V
SkyWest IAH Base, What If ?
No, but you're still waiting for an answer along with all the others who have pointed out the disparity in treatment, threats, intimidation, etc., directed at Skywest pilots when compared to Republic pilots. Is there a double standard out there? Why? -
V
SkyWest IAH Base, What If ?
If, before the merger of UAL and Continental, Continental had abandoned a 50 seat route flown by expressjet and UAL had decided to fly the same route with a 66 seat aircraft flown by Ruepublic, would that have been a violation of the Continental pilots contract? -

SkyWest IAH Base, What If ?
No, Rez. You don't answer questions with another question. The questions were posted by ehaecker and me and are referenced above. You haven't attempted to address the questions. Why don't you answer the questions we've asked? tick ... tock ... tic ... tock ... Clock is running awating your... -

SkyWest IAH Base, What If ?
So, as I understand it, it's OK for the union brothers and sisters over at Republic to fly the routes but not the non-union brothers and sisters over at Skywest to fly the routes? Is that what you're saying? Really? -
