ASA Kool Aid road Shows?

[Old Crow]

You know, I kind of get a little angry when we are asked to come to the airport on our days off. My days off are not OFF. Those are work days also. ASA need not think that they are the career of choice until I'm payed enough to quit my other job. Until then, I don't have the luxery of taking a day off to hear some BS about Team Me attitudes that I can't see any result in action.

Unlimited CDO's, Are you kidding me?
As far as scheduling goes, Until they take those three letters off my wings, I will quit before I go back on reserve.

Good luck BL. You are the man whom I do not envy.

3.The company is looking into it's own inflight magazine.

At least they have their priorities straight.


Who needs an escalator when you've got a magazine to look forward to?

I love how managment says things like we have to be competitive but say nothing about how.

I would expect either paycuts or a pay freeze.

Here's how....

1) Top 70-99 seat captain pay: 65K @ 90 hrs/month, 12 days off.

2) Upgrades in the 5-8 year range. 2 to 4 years on reserve if aggressive upgrade bid.

3) NO DOH pass benefits except on Skywest. Pay $200/year per card for that, as well as "yield fare" for Delta mainline.

4) Very poor health insurance coverage....monthly contribution about $300/month.

5) Oppressive work rules: Airport-standby reserve with NO seniority system and NO accountability for junior assignment or extention by schedulers.

6) Choice of domicile: ATL. Great place to live and raise a family?

7) No uniform allowance.

That's how ASA plans to become "competitive."
