TurboS7:

You said:

"I know a bunch of people from EAL who work there which made it cosy to begin with."

Would that be EAL scabs, or guys that didn't cross the line?

Or a combo of both?....(Not likely as they probably would not share the cockpit with each other..?)

Another question:
Does Miami Air use seasonal contract pilots from certain European carriers?

 

[TurboS7]

You know, this business is so full of crap, lies, and people that want to manipulate people to try and reach their own selfish political goals. Yes, we have scabs, we have people that crossed the line after ALPA said they could. Yes, we have the hard core striker that never went back. All for good reasons. We are all very professional and leave all that BS out of the flight deck. It is fun to banter each other on a layover but overall we all get along very well no matter which part of the program we were in at EAL.

 

[CSY Mon]

Wow, ya got EAL guys from both sides of the fense?

Sounds incredible.

Reason I say that is: I worked a contract in the Middle East in 92/93, we had EAL guys that struck, that did not strike and guys that were told by their local ALPA guy it was okay to cross and go back.
(It was not)

There was open hostility, verbal abuse and almost fist fights between the 2 camps. They all had to lay down arms in the office and in the cockpit in the interest of future work for for the airline, the chiefs had heard about the fights.

Same with UAL, the scabs flying there, easily identified by the lack of an ALPA pin, are being treated proffesional, but nobody speaks to 'em byond the call of duty, check lists, call outs, etc.
No social life on lay-overs.

At any rate, just curious as I live in South Florida and see the planes around and one hears the rumors, not the facts I guess.

So, there is no connection to any European 737 outfit that comes over for the winter season and flies on your certificate then?

 

[TurboS7]

We have one airplane that we are into 50/50 with Excel Airways. It spends 6 months in Europe and 6 months over here. Excel offers us FO and Captain slots for the 6 months and we reciprocate. In addition Excel leases to us as many 737's as we need for our winter business, but they are all on our certificate and flown by our guys.EAL was almost 14 years ago, people just have to let that kind of stuff go. Back in the early 90's the whole issue was very fresh and people were having a hard time dealing with it, on both sides of the fence. The hard part was the reality that EAL was no more senority didn't mean didily squat, for some guys 20 to 25 years down the tubes...good memories though.

 

[CSY Mon]

Roger on that.

Who did ya fly DC-3s for?

I did the '3 in Alaska, Virgin Islands and P.R.

 

[DCitrus9]

Have you heard anything about some Atlanta turns for AirTran? I just heard a rumor saying you might come back in the fall. This would be a surprise to me since we are picking up plenty of airplanes, but I would like to verify or squash this rumor.

 

[TurboS7]

It is on the books one airplane May through September ATL-FLL the same run we did a couple of years ago. I think your assets are going to be going west as we fill in the void left for the east. This one is not a rumour.

Oh good! Some easy flying for a change...

 

[TurboS7]

I wanted that LAS with a RON and returning the next day.Maybe by then we will be ACMI to Airtran with their FA's......

how to apply

hi where to send resumes!

thanks

 

[TurboS7]

Call 954-8763650, or email [email protected]. Make contact first they may just want you to bring it in for the interview.

 

[Dr. B]

I was curious to know how many hours a Miami Air guy logs in an average month or year?

How many days is a typical RON?

How much time do you spend traveling to and from aircraft, and how much time are you actually flying them?

I spoke to one of your Captains who forwarded your resume to the Chief Pilot. I am trying to learn as much as I can about the company in case he calls me.

Any info is appreciated.
