ASA Merger Committee

[the palm]

I see the merger committee has been formed and I wasn't even interviewed. WTF?

 

[resetjet]

WTF? is EF doing on the committee?

 

[WWEfan]

Call your reps and ask them.

 

[aeropharoh]

so has anyone takled to the committee to see what they are shooting for.

 

[Cpt Oveur]

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

 

[the palm]

Even I won't be so bold as to say a staple is fair. But 20 ASA pilots per XJT pilot is something I could go for.

WTF? is EF doing on the committee?

I know some don't enjoy flying with him, but I believe he will be a very thorough and insightful member of this committee. I was actually hoping Joe Merchant would be interested in being on this too. Really, I was.

Hoser
Roll Tide Roll!!!

That was sarcasm there, Palm. I thought they teach that at the CIA and Mall Rent-a-cop academy. There will be a hybrid of DOH, relative, longevity, ratio, more than likely.

The committee will make the best possible deal, but does anyone think it won't go to arbitration? Even the Delta/NWA went to arbitration.

Yes, I was glad to see his name on there. He may be an a$$hole, but he's our a$$hole!

A side of me thought the Fab 5 (Lynn) might get the nod..."Yeah, sure, we'll go with that, 50-1 XJet to ASA, yep, sign us up, we don't want to fight, please, please, no confrontation..."

I did get some training on sarcasm at the NSA, but I can't say anymore than that for fear of breaching confidentiality agreements or top secret clearances.

That is a fair point! I was half teasing I know he'll go to bat for us.

Most FO's think EF is a nightmare to fly with, but he simply expects you to do your job. He's like that college professor that expected you to actually study and learn the material in a world where everybody just crams for the test and really never learns the subject matter.

When you don't do your job, he becomes an a$$hole and doesn't handle it well. He has no patience for slackers. I actually understand him better since upgrading.

However, I like him on this committee. I would liked to see him replace PD.

 

[Medeco]

I like the fact that EF is on there too. He is sharp and he will represent us at the table well. I know one other and he will be good too. The other two I have no clue about.

 

[damnflyboy]

Yea. I can't believe I'm saying this...but El Diablo (EF) has a heart of gold. I heard that he was an advocate for helping the furloughs with COBRA, builds habitats for humanity, and loves to be tickled. Just kidding about the last one. Don't tickle him. I repeat, do not tickle EF. He might punch you in the mouth. Joking aside, he'll be fair to both. I hope neither side gets screwed...and EF will ensure that if he can help it.

 

[COOPERVANE]

DM might just piss everyone off. He has that effect on everyone.
