ASA December flying is a 15% paycut

[Phony Marconi]

I predicted the vise grip was coming:

Average line value 81 hrs vs 90 hrs for September.

Line-for-line days-off DECREASE of approx. 2 days per line.

So, a decrease of about 10% pay spread out over 2 more days of work.

Pick up trips to fly on your days off, and you'll work about 4 days more than you worked in September.....just to keep your pay the same!

And no uproar? You ALPA whimps!

same thing happened here at Delta. My ALV went from 82 in November to 72 in December. Sucks.

I feel for ya, bro'...

My family will spend $50 less per week on groceries at Walmart. Food.

Your family will downsize to the 5-series BMW.

hmm, I'll go tell my wife you said we could get rid of the ten year old Honda and downsize to a BMW. She'll be thrilled. Hey maybe she can quit her job too.

Dec Schedule

It looks like Willie made our lines by putting all the trips in a blender and spitting them out once again. Nothing like coming in the day before a three day for a round trip. Thank you Willie you may go to another job now.

Will E. has more power now than ever.

AND the anger to use it in an ugly fashion.


Oh, to have been a fly-on-the-wall during the top-brass meeting at SkyAssA:

"Should we furlough?" "Nah...better idea....promote Willie"

 

[SBD-2U3]

Holy 4 Days Batman!!!!!!!!

 

[amcnd]

Dont worry SkyWest lost about 15-20% on the Delta sid for December also.. don't feel so picked on!!!

Uh, the lines have turned to crap every year for the last 8 years during december, nothing new.

 

[Dave Benjamin]

When flying is being reduced a lower average line value could mean more folks actually holding a line versus being on reserve and in some cases prevent furloughs. So it's not all bad. I've heard the same arguments at my carrier. If your contract states a minimum line value that's all you can truly count on. Lines with greater credit values are gravy. It's all a matter of perspective.

70 seater has two extra lines this month. You know who has really bad lines. Comair. They are looking at 30 days off with no pay.
Just out of curiosity is the 50 still going through CVG for ASA in Dec.?

Yup. And MCO. Mgmt is dumb.

 

[bailout]

I dont care as much about the line value as i do the type of flying for this month. There has been @ 175 three day trips up until this month, and now there is @50? and about 150 4 days,. SUX...... Looks like im doing naps for Dec.

So, do you want the truth on why the lines are that bad or would you like to continue your witless behavior?

 

[KingAirer]

I believe the only DL carrier adding is Freedom. They are so overwhelmed with RJs that they signed Freedom up for 30.

 

[sweptback]

Yup. And MCO. Mgmt is dumb.

I thought MCO was home base for Freedom? We seem to have a fair amount of flights out of there.

 

[Halo_RJdriver]

don't worry we got the dreaded Dec. lines at SkyW and a sweet update of how we are and going to be paid the same rate up to 99 seats. The logic compared delta and others paying the same for a 757/767. Just goes to show the unwillingness of SkyW managment to deal any aces to anyone but themselves. MORE doom and gloom. Just be happy to have a job and STFU because you get profit sharing.

Merge the two step-children and get a contract.

ASA-SKYW merger = a stable future with some bargaining power.

 

[701EV]

I'll take a single pay rate. CR7 pay rate for everybody.

[RJDC]

I'll take the single seniority list, PID for everybody!
