ASA laying the smack down on pilots

[LazyLightnin']

Didn't you know that Skywest already absorbs whatever our union puts through? They have it nice.

Skywest can easily pay 20-30% more and can be an actual leader of this industry, something that can put alpo and ibt to shame. Again that koolaide is just way too strong for now and the money keeps piling up in Utah.

That's interesting. Is the the money in Utah burning a hole in your pocket? I think they're saving their Benjamin's for if UAL doesn't make it, or just being fiscally responsible. They're not dummies in St George, so they're definitely looking at other opportunities, maybe even acquisitions. Their employees, all their employees, deserve more than their making now, but that really doesn't have anything to do with how much money is in their bank account.

Captain Oveur, if not Skywest, who is going to be the leader of this industry? Colgan? Commutair? If you don't make as much, it's very tough to convince a management to sign an industry leading contract. The pilots have had all this time to secure something.

GJ can be the leader.

Mesa sucks.

Tomorrow there are no IAD based SCRs available. Company is sending 5 (you read that right FIVE) TDYs up tomorrow morning to cover. They might as well give all IAD based pilots lines and just TDY reserves to cover sick calls

How are they getting people up there? I was told they weren't going to be allowed to deadhead people on Delta? That's a lot of positive space tickets...

There is this other sh!tty airline too that operates out of T Concourse, their name is United.

Im pretty sure they'll put them on one of the Yonited flights.

That's what they used to do on the RJ and E120 in DFW.

This has been an issue. They have been BUMPING Delta revenue passengers To CVG and IAD to DH ASA pilots to cover Yonited flying. Stay classy ASA scheduling.

Delta would not be thrilled to see this

I heard Delta found out and that practice came to an immediate end

 

[COOPERVANE]

I hope so. That is bull********************!!!

I thought it was rather interesting that UAX crews were starting their 3-4 days in CVG rather than IAD...

Wrong! They simply present you with an agreement for signing that waives all your rights to the normal protections. If you don't sign, you don't interview and of course don't get hired.

I never signed any such release. I pay close attention to what I sign, and I didn't sign anything like that. You can bet F&H is smart enough to advise the company that they had better not release arbitrary, unsubstantiated info to any prosepctive employer-pretty basic. Home-run lawsuits spring from such silliness.

You can believe what you want, but I think many of those people who were "shut out of jobs at Delta" because of some mysterious letter in their file are just hiding something they aren't proud of-like what really happened in Cancun back in '87.

You mean back when I threw that football a quarter mile?

That appears to be exactly what company is doing.

For Captains they will next month but not FOs, unless I missed something
