13 Freedom E145s parked at Florence, SC today

The RJ gig is different... The RJ should never have been sold out in the first place- so it stands to reason that the 'right' thing in the long run will have some short term pains. I'm sorry- i want them gone- and every other SJP in the country to go back to flying TP's only. hell, i even want the TP's back on the mainline list. Our seniority system doesn't work if you're splitting up lists- no matter what your reasons are for it.
Until we take a stand and get that fixed- startups everywhere will have zero problem finding good and qualified pilots to fly for peanuts... and you'll be stuck looking in the mirror at the reason why.

Good Ol' Janice say it best. "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose." Not that's all I got to say about that.

General, Why the Skybus guys?? Was it not also your group leading the charge to drag down industry wide wages?? Oh ya your going to be leading the pack back to the top. You should have time to plan your attack on your long East Africa overnights. Perhaps the rebel groups there can give you some tips.

Is it just me or is it wrong to wish 1500 pilots to be put out on the street? Maybe concentrate on getting J.O. out of Mesa. I wouldnt wish a furlough or job loss on anyone....But that just me...I guess I have morals..

In that case, you'll make a terrible USAir pilot !!

GL says-"RJ's are killing the legacies".

GL- What was the first RJ? Who built it? What pilot group was the first to fly it? Glass houses and all that.....

 

[jehtplane]

Still trying to figure out why the General brought this to the majors board???? Am I missing something?

Because he likes to post anything negative about any other airline besides his precious Delta.

I guess you were still instructing in C172s when we brought wages up higher than they have ever been? We had 777 Captain rates of over $300 an hour (atleast $250 more an hour than your Captain rates on the A319). Our rates fell because we went to BK due to poor management at the time and aftermath of 9-11, not due to our high rates. You guys were an embarrassment. The "Shame Train" should have been your callsign, really.


Bye Bye--General Lee

Feel free to post something negative about Delta, and I will give my opinion.

Comair got them, and Delta loved them. The key is that we don't have the same management now that loved them. They are all gone with piles of $$$. At a time the RJ was a good tool---to go to cities that couldn't fill a 737-200 (at the time), and bring people to our hubs to fill our 767s. That was great. Now, we don't need them, they can't pay their own bills. So sorry.......glass houses my arse. We just don't need them now.


Bye Bye--General Lee

GL- Wrong. Read "Flying the Line Part II". The first RJ pilots were Delta pilots.

Whatever. Why don't you read "How RJs are now getting parked, by General Lee."

For the life of me, I cannot imagine why you guys still entertain this retard.

 

[atlcrashpad]

Are you sure that isn't a Delta paint facility-- aren't they still trying to catch up with the latest paint scheme?

Only if day is paintin' dem all white wif a blue tail..... MESA Sux....
J.O. blows...........
bouyyyyyyyy.....

 

[johnsonrod]

For the life of me, I cannot imagine why you guys still entertain this retard.

I think he is spot on. Are you telling me that 50-seat RJs are efficient nowadays? Seriously? Prove to me that they make economic sense with oil at these rates? Doubt you can.

Time to wake up - we all need a dose of reality. That's why I'm getting out of the regionals ASAP! C'mon Netjets give me a call!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's something negative.......

$6.7 BILLION!!!!!!!!!
-And don't give me that stupid "paper loss" crap, general!!! You can't post a "paper loss" any more than you can post a "paper profit." The value was on the books, now it is gone...... Not a good thing!

-May I suggest an Intro to Business Accounting course so you will one day understand how badly this mgmt. is hosing the company.....
