ASA laying the smack down on pilots

[COOPERVANE]

Brads just gettin' warmed up!

You told us about him a couple of years ago and we didn't listen. You were right.

ASA mgmt was SO bad he seemed like a good thing. He is good at his job.

Let it be known that while ASA has its issues, an overwhelming majority of ASA pilots believe ASA is a good place to work that has gotten remarkably better since Skywest Inc took over.

I think that is the general consensus even in this thread. There are worse places to work, but things appear to be moving backwards as of late. Maybe its just the cpo or maybe its flightops. RSV 200 ATL is rough and the company refuses to mitigate the problem. They are rolling in cash but wont raise line values to a reasonable level, allowing relief to RSVs and a bit more dough to lineholders.

In other news, a lot of us moved up 5-7 seniority numbers over the course of one month. Not bad.

It concerns me that someone actually thinks this is the case. Even the Kool-Aid the company is passing around doesn't involve us being short on cash. Where you got this idea beats me.

Clearly, my sarcasm needs work. Kinda thought that one was softly delivered when I reread; my apologies. I've a feeling that ASA is more than adequately funded, especially in light of starting a new venture in SE Asia.


Possibly, just possibly, this 'crackdown' is the work of a misguided individual seeking to fill a void in the CP office. The timing is, well, odd.

Don't get used to it. You will be moving backward after a month or two as the numbers you moved up are from pilots who volunteered for the LOSA observations.

That's not how seniority lists work, but I understand your point.

What purpose would a crackdown serve?

I definitely see that the ATL RSVs are getting the beat down. But us IAD guys, especially the ones that commute to reserve, are begging for flighttime and just not getting it.

IMO, the company will continue refusing to mitigate the problem until our block hrs increase. They are saving ALOT of money by keeping line values low, red arrowing the heck out of the month, and having reserves fly the open-time. Basically capping the amount of flying the more expensive senior pilots can do and letting cheaper junior reserves fly more.

I doubt they will increase line values until nearly all reserves meet or exceed 75 hrs. I heard one of Brad's pet peeves are under utilized reserves. Pay them 75 so fly them 75 I guess.

You talking about current ACP RC?

In the April Seniority Report it stated 7 resignations

Well, one was a termination, but that's irrelevant.

I hope like hell that "RC" doesn't end up as ATL chief pilot. That guy is already on some kind of serious power trip....and he just got there.

He is definitely not somebody that is gonna have the pilots back.

Somebody actually got terminated by ASA? That's impressive....it's not an easy task. They must have REALLY screwed up!

...lawyers new they would not win a law suite!

I hate it when lawyers don't win new law suites. Dang it.

That's awesome. I wonder how people misspell so many words with spell check and then BAM.
