AS Recalls?

[Deadalus]

Bingo...Finally someone gets it. Now if we can stop bitching among the different bases about "our flying", maybe we can focus on getting the 106 back.

Save M. Brisbane!!

While I don't think it's realistic, I hope it happens. Matt's a good guy. Is his dad Curt still flying at AS?

 

[8v8ter]

Every CUN flight i was on was full. Are we giving the seats away? Doubt it.

Baja.

I just flew a CUN trip this weekend. Sea-Cun every seat full, cun-lax only 4 open seats. Customs in CUN was so full they were backing up into the jetway hallways. If the yields are so low, with that kind of demand it seems there is the opportunity to raise fares and make money on these flights. We don't always have to match the lowest fare on the internet.

Tatoosh......After ten years and a left seat I walked away for at least 3 years so you could hang on to yours...so stuff it...and nwaviator...there are pilots on furlough from Horizon because of the DEN mistep.....failed foray into lift providing....had that never happened and it never should have, Horizon would be hiring.....sorry dude

Tico, you are such a Puta.

You took a 3 year break to help the cause? That's your lie this week?

What happened to you quitting outright? That was your story last year. You erased it from the board, but I've still got your petulant, sissy little girl whine fest:

This is for everyone hired after May 1st, 2005...... If you had not listened to your daddy or your sugar daddy or your wifes daddy or you wifes sugar daddy or in some cases your husbands sugar daddy and done your own thinking....(not what you typically find in you typical silver spoon alaska airlines copilot) than you would have realized that this place is a $hithole and is likely to continue to be a $hithole and in fact has always been a $hithole........ I have listened to all of you tell me how it is better then (insert large regional airline here)but all of you were senior captains and check airman( well almost all of you)some were just entitlement copilots and some were typical myopic military pilots but you all had a job at the top of your local food chain....You listened to the siren song coming from your checkairman friend(for you military types)or your daddy or your daddys friend etc...for the rest of you....And boom...your little dream threw a rod(pm me if you need an explanation of that term)And now you are furloughed or being force based etc......booh efin hoo.....All of the hiring from jan of 07 on and all of the upgrades were for the purpose of removing the MD-80 from the fleet...period..Those in the know at the time were quite liberal with that information....It is called a training bubble... unfortunateley for y'all, age 65 hit at the same time and the economy took a ********************ter....course the economy takin' a ********************ter could be seen from 3-5 years away......So your out of a job or you aint a captain anymore ore you have to move to a new base....tough $hit.....I have sent about three grand towards the furloughed dudes and dudetes to help them find a home depot job etc....for all the rest of you winey cry babies....get over it...I am making room for someone on march 2nd to stay at this house of cards......yea I lost my capt. seat to some LA guy but I got sick of the noise and just plain quit.....No job to go to but at least I wont have to sit in the right seat and listen to some punk who lands half way down the runway how bad he got screwed........ oh yea and to all of the vsa w************************* and the over 60 w*************************.....none of whom have donated a dime to help your furloughed brothers and sisters....may parkinsons come early to you............................Done here

It's a crime that men with testosterone flowing through their veins are on the street while a Jr. High girl like you has a job.

BINGO!! Give this guy a cigar!!

Baja.

 

[Green Banana]

Fly the Plane, go home, repeat.

 

[QCappy]

Yep. What Green Banana said.

 

[jonjuan]

Fly the Plane, go home, repeat.

Exactly. Let revenue management worry about yields.

 

[msmb]

Amen, "they" pay themselves the big bucks to manage this airline. Let them step in it again like they did with Menezies. Oh yeah who paid for that huge loss of money?

 

[QCappy]

Chirp, chirp, chirp......

 

[wscrj]

"Bud...."


"Weiiiiiis...."


"Errrrrr....."

 

[NWaviator]

Cha-Ching and spanking...... The sound of people picking up opentime and bending over the ones on furlough.

 

[Dash8don]

I heard today that the first group of furlough's are receiving registered letters from the company stating an estimated length of furlough of 24 months, from the date of the letter, to be in compliance with Section 23 of the recent contract amendment.

If that's the case then that would be good news I guess. The letters that went out to the last group also stated 24 months was the expected length. Of course the question then becomes so what? There is no consequence to the company how accurate their "expected length" is.

 

[QCappy]

24 more months. It's not good news. Although, like you said, there is no consequence to the company if they are wrong.

 

[Old School 737]

Forget the base within a base thing. It looks like all SEA pilots will be ETOPs guys.

I should probably explain a little better. The senior of the 105 were told 24 months back in October...I would think that the junior guy would not be expected to be recalled until a year after that...which means 36 months.

 

[RP170]

Better than my estimated recall date of July 31, 2013 at NetJets. Here's to hoping that all of us get back to work a lot sooner than predicted.

 

[QCappy]

Forget the base within a base thing. It looks like all SEA pilots will be ETOPs guys.

So what does this all mean now? That's a lot of training to be accomplished. Each guy needs a two day ground school and each captain needs SLF to the islands.

Now only PDX will be non-ETOPS! I'm sure that will change, too.

What do you guys think about the implications for recalls, etc.?

 

[turbodriver]

It will be very interesting to see how they think they're going to accomplish all this training. Even in the fall, it still ain't gonna be a picnic in regards to scheduling.

I was curious to see the bid results on Friday. I was hoping for a deer in the headlights moment like, "oops, we screwed up again and we needed to recall 30 pilots last month". Since they sent out this "no recall for 2 years" letter, they seem pretty confident that they don't need to recall anyone this year.

But, this is AS management we're talking about, and we all know what that means....

 

[CesnaCaptn]

Now only PDX will be non-ETOPS! I'm sure that will change, too.

My guess is that LAX won't fly any more ETOPS trips once SEA is trained, especially now that LAX-CUN is going away.

The next question I have is, will this bid really happen? Why do they need all those crews up in ANC?
