ASA Merger Committee

[LazyLightnin']

Really, over half of the seniority list is not represented. The most junior is little D, and he's a captain.

James S would a good representative for pilots with ADD.

The First Officer was a January 06 hire. DM was hired at least 18 months prior to that. So no, there is no super junior pilot on the committee, but they will fight for what's fair for the ASA pilots.

Next time you see EF ask him what HE has done for the FOs at ASA, starting with the FO furlough COBRA fund! In fact contact EF and tell him your concerns. He will listen and perhaps put your mind at ease. But be ready for a reality check as EF tells it like it is, and may become.

We all have ourASA email so you contact him there, or on the ALPA message board, and he'll listen to your concerns. Gotta let the members know though!

You know I didn't realize that he likes to be tickled though. And here I thought I knew him! Who knew!

Hoser
ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!

 

[ohplease!]

I heard James S. was under consideration, but his name was withdrawn when concerns were voiced that he was going to push for "War Eagle" as the new combined call sign.

That would have worked great if we'd bought Eagle....

 

[No Delay]

Ed comes across as tough to fly with. He is really not that bad. A little high strung...but he is alright. However, he is a by the book, no bullsht kind of guy. You had better not show up half-ass doing your job. He will call you on it!

With that said, he is EXACTLY the type of person I would want fighting for (representing) me. He will do it right, he will not be snowed, if something is not right he will speak up, he is not a push over, he is not the type of person who is just looking out for himself, he will represent us well.

I think we need to be glad Ed is on that committee. I think it was a smart move!

 

[enuffalready]

totally agree.... EF is no question the best person for this job...

 

[outtahere]

How the he'll did that spineless, worthless, pos dm get on there. I thought he was just blowing brad, Charlie, and Scott. Looks like he was servicing Dave N, and fat boy over at alpa headquarters as well.

 

[sayrejm]

You guys are cracking me up. And it wouldn't be "War Eagle".... it would be "Weagle"

Discuss

By the way, from where I sit on seniority there isn't much that would benefit us other than maybe a 50:1 integration and that ain't gonna happen. We are junior to every XJT pilot there is.

Assuming all this discussion isn't in vain come next year.

 

[damnflyboy]

I'm personally not interested in gaining (or losing) from this merger. Just make it fair. I'm all about treating XJT guys with the same respect and consideration that I would want to receive.

I'm sick and tired of pilots selling each other down the river. If "Atlantic Southeast" is truly a new and better airline, why not start out on the right foot?

 

[ApocketA's_145]

staple or doh. They seem confident the arbitrator will side with them for a staple...

ignorant fool!! You can no longer staple... You lost credibility for all your future posts

It's called sarcasm, moron. I think everyone else got it though.

But what is fair? Everyone has their own idea what fair means. To me it means getting the best possible deal for ASA pilots. We are the buyers. We are the more profitable company. We have bigger planes. Most importantly we fly the "9". We deserve the best.

 

[Stifler's Mom]

I honestly am not looking for a windfall for ASA pilots. I would rather have something "fair", whatever that may look like. Just a few years ago we were in the same spot that XJT is in right now when SKYW purchased us from Delta.

I am pretty sure that "fair" (there's that term again) is in the best interests of Jerry if this purchase goes through. Pissing off all of the XJT pilots would probably hurt the bottom line in the end.

Brad's "Huddle Program" shows how important having the pilot group on board means to performance numbers.

Before skywest bought us, we were making money as fast as they could print it. Not quite that way at xjt now. DOH is fair, all day, everyday.

What about the tie breakers? There are many instances where there was hiring at each company on the same date. This is where it's more complicated than arranging just pure DOH...

I have noticed over the years that "joking" about a staple never really brings down the house.

Kind of like joking about flying struck work.

same DOH to go by birthday. I don't know how ExpressJet did it, but our list is that way. Oldest guy was most senior. I suppose if Expressjet did not go by age for class seniority, then we should do relative merge for those with same hire date.

Well that's easy, the ATL classes start an hour earlier (EST) so the ASA guys would be ahead of the XJT guys starting the same day in Houston!

Ours was done the same way. Oldest guy was the most senior.
