The pilot group must remember that this industry is very unstable. It always has been. Therefore, relying on pilot hiring at the majors in order to escape substandard wages and work rules is a foolish gamble. All it takes is another terror strike from cave dwelling, camel fking, Islamic ape men to put an end to your career prospects. All you can really count-on is your current job and its current contract. Don't let the major airlines make the regionals their bitches. Use them like they want use you. Make it hard on them. The SKYW market leverage for the regional market is huge, and XJT is two thirds of it. Let's force the issue a little bit. Please think if you are worth more every time you miss your wife and children on 4 day trip, every time you wake up at 3:40 am for a 6 leg day with a 9 hour rest to follow, every time you study new procedures, systems, and SOPs for 5 hours on your free time. You are a highly skilled, highly trained, excessively screened professional. Get paid like one.

Or they might even make the retirement age 95. Then we get another 30 years of seatlock!
 
really mickey? what in the world is wrong with you? It scares me a bit to think that you are in control of an aircraft, you talk yourself up about being highly trained, highly skilled blah blah blah and then you spew out garbage about killing somebody? You are a Psychopath

Tell it to the CNN sensitivity forum. I'm not interested. Some homocides are legal and sanctioned. Wussies like you really scare me.
 
So Ops check good should "tell it to the CNN sensitivity forum" while you talk in a Aviation thread about how they should dig up Treyvon and kill him again?

Only in America can I guy like Mickey Mouse pass a medical.
 
Forget about Trayvon. He's worm food. Just make sure you vote NO to concessions. There will be an enormous campaign from the company and the union to decrease our current low pay and chip away at our already horrible work rules. Start mustering up some courage to vote NO.
 
I just heard a rumor on line that Delta is realizing they're having a hard time getting rid of Pinnacle's 200's, by trying to put a 900 on Detroit-Muskegon (ya think?), and so they need more 200's in Detroit. The rumor is, they're going to not take away XJT's 200's this fall, and they want us to start a 200 base in DTW with those planes. This might jive with the sudden change in hiring outlook. Anyone else heard this?
 
Screw a DTW 200 base. I'd rather go down the road of dual qual. It would be better quality of life for everyone up there.

Ha. Yeah right
 
Let's do a little math. 6 years ago we accepted a pathetic contract for our pilot group. We have been enduring its woeful inadequacies month after month, day after day, year after year. We complain, we cast aspersions on management, we get sick, we miss our families, but what do we really do about it? Well, this is your chance to make a stand. Win or lose, you can make a stand. Stand up and be counted. You will still have your self respect if you lose, because you acted in a way that you thought was correct and just. Back to the math. 6 years ago our compensation package was set. It's 6 years later now and inflation has taken about 14% of your compensation. If we simply agreed to no changes to our current contract, then we will take a 14% pay cut. Furthermore, at the rate of current inflation (14% per 6 years) you will take another 7% pay cut if we merely agree to keep the current contract for 3 years. Are you willing to take a 22% cut? If you agree to concessions, then you are going even deeper and further backwards. You do the the same work as Stevie Viagra at the major airlines, and some of you guys are smarter and more skilled. Don't be a weakling and accept some bully demanding your children's lunch money and your mortgage payment. You can crush the bully by voting no. The union and the company have become cozy. We are bigger and more powerful. Your vote is your power. You deserve better. Ask for more.

Ahh so that's why BH's compensation went up something like 63%, keep up with inflation huh.....:)

NO!
 
Try 83% increase


I am not a hater. Glad he is making good money. But when I consider the abuse I get on reserve, the unimaginable amount of money waste and inefficiencies that goes on with this company, and looming pilot shortage...just to hear the word concession makes me laugh

Don't talk about a pilot shortage as if its actually going to happen because it makes you sound naive

Mickey im pretty sure you lost all credibility on these forums with your Treyvon Martin comments a few posts back, so now might be a good time to stop trying to be the cheer leader for your cause...Im embarrassed for you.
