70-seat RJ's flying for CAL

[Whydoitry]

I for one don't plan on going down without a fight.

My wife says that all the time. Sorry couldn't resist.

Resistance is futile!!

I made 10 K last month and had more days off than I ever had at your little airline where you try to act like a real airline pilot up to the point where 80% of your passengers are still waiting for their purses and handbags to be handed to them in the jetway because they can't fit in the overhead "slot"....

Only $10k last month? I made $11.5k last month at my little regional.

That was fun!! IAHERJ....don't let them get you all worked up. Jeff (yes we are on a first name basis now) thinks that since it is one company now he is not violating the contract. Time will tell. Arn't there 70 seat RJ's flying out of ORD with CO code share numbers???? Have been for a while now. No difference, we just have to concentrate on our JCBA scope issues! Have a good day, thanks for the entertainment.

With all due respect; actually screw the respect....That piece of crap you fly is nothing like a DC-9. Do not even put the CRJ or ERJ in the same sentence as the DC-9 no matter what version we are talking about. The DC-9 was a mainline aircraft that was tough as sh%t. The "punks" are the backpack wearing, ipod sporting, gelled up hair dudes you most often find flying the RJ's. Some have moved on to mainline airlines and are slow to lose the "dude" look but that is what pisses off most mainline pilots. Sorry so many really great professional pilots flying at the regionals while they await mainline hiring have to be labeled as "punks" due to the actions of a growing minority of their peers.

Gelled up hair... Like the WWII guys? I guess they were allowed to... They had ladies painted on their planes... They HAD to look good!

I made 10 K last month ...

Did you do this with no open time pickup, no waiving of vacation credit, and no waiving of DH credit?

 

[IAHERJ]

Did you do this with no open time pickup, no waiving of vacation credit, and no waiving of DH credit?

Picked up two advertised turns, not open time. No DH but I did have vacation. I did not waive any vacation credit and I bid all 3 weeks for 2011. I use vacation. Speaking of vacation, I'm in need of a vacation from Flightinfo.com. You guys enjoy the debating.

Well, I am hearing the 70 seat flights have been pulled from Continental employee reservation. They still might come up on the United website. These flights are in violation of our contract.


luckytohaveajob, if I was to guess, you work for Express? Why so afraid to mention who you work for? Depend on CAL for the jumpseat too much?

I agree with anonymity, but we are curious who you work for. Why so important you might ask? Well, you seem to flame a lot towards the CAL pilot group. Not in a professional way, but a hatred sort of tone. You generalize and you present misinformation. You don't like to play fair, and hide behind your keyboard. I guess, that is why you are so afraid.

So, what airline do you work for? I know, I know you are afraid to list your airline of employment.

Only $10k last month? I made $11.5k last month at my little regional.

I made 800.50 bucks on unemployment, spent 6 hrs on the phone yesterday trying to get it extended and, and since last Jan I have spent at least 3 hrs a day trying to find work to support my family so to all u RJers...#crew u!!!

 

[comrcap]

Not to mention that AWSOME mainline a/c from NWA... CONVAIR 580! How many did that POS hold???50ish? DC9-10 ...65? compared to the CRJ700 64-70, CRJ900 76+ Yeah there's NOOO comparison!

Hey Harry, that is what my mid-month check is. The problem for you is, your's is all in pesos. Other than that, have a GREAT DAY pal, and enjoy your McDonalds lunch.

BID,

You guys have GOT to do something about this. Your new CEO is laughing right now at your MECs. I can't wait to hopefully hear some sort of response from them. Still waiting.....

Here is the response you were so desperately looking for. It was dated last Friday...

I look forward to writing a brief next week devoid of politics. I look forward to reporting on a week of work devoted solely to the advancement of our goals. Fly safe and have a good weekend.
