AirTran Pilots Fired!!!!!!!

[McNugget]

According to a member of management just two days ago, we would still be profitable with oil in the $115-$120/bbl range. Under $100/bbl, we'd be growing again.

In the end, AirTran will dish out a helping of concessions, served with furloughs, just like everyone else.

Hey, everyone gets their prediction . . . here's mine:

In the end, McButt Nugget will scab, then be fired, but will continue to earn his living on his knees, in back of the "Adult Superstore"

What he didn't tell you is, those numbers include the 10% paycut and furlough. He is correct on the growth figure too at 100/bbl but ...that is with the paycut.

Regardless, why are quoting your OUTSTANDING management team as a source of VALUABLE information? Are you a propaganda puppet or just Ty's standby guy when he can't drag a male FA back to his room.:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Seriously, is that the best you've got?

Hey, Uppercrud- Every one of your posts has some undercurrent of homosexuality . . . it was mildy entertaining at first, but the on-line world mirrors real life, and you, apparently, have some serious issues.

My advice to you is to avail yourself of whatever limited mental health services are available to you from your regional airline's COBRA insurance. . . . and to log-off your parent's computer, go outside, and get some fresh air. Take your Xanax . . . breathe in, breathe out. . . . .

Hmmm, I never picked up on that. You must have one of those Gaydar systems or either you get hit on a bunch by homosexuals.

Back to the subject, anyone else on here get asked to waive the 12 hour rule the last few days? Got asked twice in 2 hours (once while waiting near the runway for ground stop to end).

There is no way anyone of us should do anything beyond the contract. On top, no favors, never answer the phone (unless reserve or on duty), don't pick up open time, if and when this termination starts. And, for god sakes, reserve CAs don't fly fo position! I was asked many times on reserve, never did, and will be reserve again if this actually happens.

Also, nothing against coach, but WHY does he stay onboard as ACTUAL WORKING PILOTS are being let go?

Really, even the avatar from Brokeback Mountain didn't clue you in? You must be really dense, or in denial!

Yeah, well, when you're as handsome as I am, everyone wants some! Heh-heh.

Instead of having locker room fun about orientations.... why not focus on the fired new hires.... they are your rally point


just saying....

 

[CFIT]

Gee Rez you'd think Tranny being union and all everything would be perfect?

Oh, that's right, they're not ALPA.

You should have warned them this would happen.

Where were you?

Welcome aboard, newbie. May 2008? Wow, you've been on flightinfo for what, ten minutes? I've been here for ten years, and if I want to digress a little, I'm going to. When I want some sh!t outta you, I'll squeeze your neck.

Any idea what is going on with the union forum? I have not been able to log on in a couple days. Did the company file an injunction to try to stop us from talking to each other? They must think we are starting a revolution on that site or something.

 

[Captain Jeff]

Sign up for Brad Dunlops forum. Linepilots.com. Nothing is posted there today either, but you never know.

I'm not sure there is really much left to say, at this point. I'll try to recap it here:

Management had squandered the goodwill of the pilot group over the last three years . . . . threatening to fire the probies and refusing to reduce their own bonuses has "sealed the deal". . . there is no way that any concessions will pass, nor would they do any good.

It's in the hands of Oil traders and Congress, at this point. Either it gets better, or it doesn't. We either we make it, or we don't, but there will be no concessions from the pilots (or any other labor group, I'm guessing). . . . a very expensive lesson to be be learned, to be sure.

I haven't been able to log on either. Not sure what the deal is.
