[HelloNewman]

Actually I know what will make me laugh the hardest now. You guys getting replaced then sitting there wishing you had an airplane to taxi fast in. I just wish I could be there to see the looks on your faces.

JB, I wish to apologize that it did not occur to me to do this yesterday. Yes, I admit it, I am a spineless weasil. You can call me "SW" for short. But this SW is going to do everything he possibly can in support of his fellow pilots. This in stark contrast to your selfish, childish unilateral personal agenda. And you can rest assured sir, at the next available opportunity I will most certainly make you quite aware of exactly how I feel...to your face.

Just curious, what do you consider my "personal agenda" to be? Are you aware that my fellow mainline "brothers" are bidding lower than our current rates? Are you aware that both DALPA and ALPA national are pressuring our MEC to cut a deal because they don't want a strike because it would hurt DAL too much? What exactly is my agenda, and what is your agenda?

Bulls*$&. Just talked with a couple of the National Officers recently about the ASA situation, and this is far from true. There is no pressure from National, and I seriously doubt any pressure from DALPA either.

Where were you when we flew CMR airplanes and CMR passengers during the CMR strike?

So you're saying you're a scab?

Oh I'm sure an ALPA National Officer told you the truth

ALPA never really pushed for a release during the DAL BK and post BK because of the harm it would do to DAL.... which happens to be the largest contributer to ALPA.....

By the way gullible isn't in the dictionary...

By the way, a member of the current ASA MEC confirmed that ALPA national and DALPA are pressuring the ASA MEC to sign a deal.... they don't want DAL hurt.... This from someone who campaigned against me........ ALPA is a political machine just like everything else, and it relies on money.....

 

[JoeMerchant]

So you're saying you're a scab?

Nice try, but your beloved ALPA didn't call it "struck work"...... they should have, but they didn't..... ALPA failed us all again....

Besides even if they had, what does it matter? CAL had a former MEC Chairman who was a scab. CAL currently has a scab for a negotiating committee member. ASA has a committee chairman who is a scab. ALPA has thousands of members who are scabs............ there checks clear, so they are clear....

Next lame argument from the cheerleading section.......

Yeah, I'm sure you're right. I'm not even an active member anymore, I hold no official office, and I just talk to these guys off the record in a casual setting, but I'm sure they really felt the need to feed me a bunch of propaganda.

I know these guys pretty well, Joe. They're not the conspirators that you make them out to be. They have no hidden agendas and they're not out to screw over anyone.

ALPA never really pushed for a release during the DAL BK and post BK because of the harm it would do to DAL.... which happens to be the largest contributer to ALPA.....

More conspiracy theory bulls*%&, none of which is true. By the way, UAL is the largest contributor to ALPA and has been for quite some time.

By the way, a member of the current ASA MEC confirmed that ALPA national and DALPA are pressuring the ASA MEC to sign a deal

Which one? What does Newie say? You hear an allegation (if you're even telling the truth) from a single rep, and you take it at face value? Where's the proof? Just more conspiracy theories and paranoia. You still have nothing of value to add.

 

[Long Time Gone]

It's not about being a "lemming" or blindly following ALPA. This isn't even about ALPA, Joe. Where do you see an ASA ALPA rep on this thread talking about writing things up or taxiing slow? This isn't about ALPA at all. This is about joining your fellow pilots and working towards improving your situation. Forget ALPA. This is about unity not with ALPA, but with your fellow ASA pilots. Just for once, stop thinking about how you're going to screw ALPA, and start thinking about how you're going to be part of the solution.

Thank you kindly, sir. Fantastic post.

You've stated time and time again how you aren't an ALPA lemming, yet your defense of scabbiness is 'ALPA said it was OK?"

Besides even if they had, what does it matter?

If you can't figure that one out, there's no point in listening to you further. You've said everything about yourself.

There you go again JackAzz, telling more LIES..(BIG SURPRISE), the more SH!T you talk, the less you matter. Apparently you did not read the negotiation updates from the Union. Let me guess...you would have taken one or the other of the 2 options...right? Yeah, again....big surprise! You are such a Dirtbag in so many different ways....where do I start? Forget it...NOT worth my time.
Idiot!

Spoken by the man in SGU that will SH!T a brick when those airplanes are PARKED and cost "Loser" Skywst a TON of money. Bring it on D!CK...BET YOU BLINK FIRST!:cartman:

 

[say again]

Its great to see on flightaware.com all the ASA flights are delayed out of ATL. Great work guys!!:beer:

 

[atrdriver]

OK all you tough talkers.....

Where were you when we flew CMR airplanes and CMR passengers during the CMR strike?

Where were you when we tried to form a single list on the DAL property so as to stop the whipsaw?

Well joe, I was there for both those events. The 3 CMR birds that we got were constantly written up and didn't fly for about 3 weeks. But they had been put on our certificate, and there was nothing that we could legally do about it. And the single list thing might just have worked had we gone to the DAL pilots first with a prenup rather than springing it on them at the big CVG rally. We had way too many senior Captains that honestly thought they would get a DOH merge with DAL, and don't tell me we didn't, because I flew with 6 of them. Maybe you dind't expect that, but many did, and that sealed the failure.

Hello

Spoken by the man in SGU that will SH!T a brick when those airplanes are PARKED and cost "Loser" Skywst a TON of money. Bring it on D!CK...BET YOU BLINK FIRST!:cartman:

I sure would like to kick Hellonewman in the nuts! That fool has so little sense. I love the point of this response to hello-tard. Skywest is all about the money, and a strike here would quickly cost them the company. The place would blink out of existance pretty fast. Replacing us would be impossible because they don't have enough pilots to do it..... Where are they going to come up with 1500 qualifed pilots. My money says Skywest will vote for survival and solve this contract quickly if we are ever released....

-Hellonewman is such a moron!

 

[Turtlesfly]

Hey let's get back to stories of people writing stupid s*hit up!

 

[Secret Squirrel]

Hey let's get back to stories of people writing stupid s*hit up!

Not stupid stuff at all. I am sure all of them are safety of flight items!! Good luck guys.

 

[Noise]

You never can be too safe. It is the #2 most dangerous job in the US. Make sure you are doing all you can to operate as safely as possible even if it means it takes a little longer.

 

[TOOL CRIB]

Make sure those circuit breaker labels are all there and readable. Don't want to find a CD popped and now know which one it is!

 

[Noise]

On the 700 make sure that the placard on the front of the nose gear assembly is clearly readable and not damaged. Often times the entire placard is not there. This is a no go item if it is missing and I don't think that they have too many of these laying around. Fly safe out there guys.

False. I've heard these statements before. But, somehow every time they seem to be able to replace just about any pilot's job. See; Westair/Mesa (the first time United dumped them) Air Wisconsin, ACA, Pan Am, Eastern, etc. Sadly we all can be replaced by fellow pilots or for that matter, the same pilots.

P.S. I will not be passing you guys on taxi. If it is not safe for you to operate faster then it is not safe for me operate faster.
