Here's a good one. CNN is reporting that Delta and UPS pilots are threatening to stop flying for Christmas. These bad guys who make $175-200K a year rejected a contract that would give them over $200K a year. Can you get to your destination? Will you packages get there? Oh no! Better make other...
I came across some large Colgan ads in the DC area military base newspapers saying they were looking for pilots, mechanics and just about everyone associated with flight operations. Looks like they are ramping up for something.
Poor Kit and his roommate have lost a lot of income this year and need to economize. He mentioned the need to cut back on auto expenses so I'm taking the liberty of suggesting he pick up the 2001 Kia Rio I just saw in the paper for $3999. and just order from the dollar menu when he takes his...
I had a non flying friend ask me why United was bothering to stay in business while losing millions each day. Since the stock was cancelled I didn't really have an answer who owned the company and who was actually experiencing the loss. Got any answers?
The first Training Contract thread got me thinking........Has anyone known a pilot who signed a training contract then left the company early and then actually paid the company?
Just a little humor to lighten up the seriousness here. The Iroquois name of "Chautauqua" translates in english as "the place where one loses the way." From William Least Heat-Moon's narrative "River-Horse" P.78. What a name for an airline! :D
I'm hearing mixed reviews of preferential bidding. One is that it is great for having some control over your schedule but also you could lose the advantage of vacation time by having the bulk of your flying take place in the rest of the month essentially turning your vacation time into time you...
With all the new TA's and poverty level wages being proposed and actually being considered, I just have to ask why you work where you do. Is it to get qualified for a better job? Flying is fun? Chicks dig it? Earn a living? Have a nice lifestyle? Is it the only place you can get a job? Easier...
How's this for an airline industry saving scenario? We save the Iraqi oil fields from destruction and pay for the oil at a bargain price which in turn drops the global price to record lows. Influx of dollars to terroist organizations slows as the price of oil drops. Airlines can turn a profit...
The judge tossed out ACA's request for a contract decision. What are they doing or going to do about the dillemma of acquiring new jets without a solid agreement with UAL?
Based on some of the other threads regarding Skywest class scheduling I thought I'd check on the progress of the Skywest 2/3 class. How's it going? Are they getting a paycheck yet?
