CM...... We have a one man show

CM...... We have a one man show

Oh PLZ! Are you really going to blame all of this on CM? How can he be a one man show? The MEC supports him. He isn't on the Merger Comm. How can he be a one man show? If you believe that, then you also don't support your MEC.

Listen, I was there and this isn't going well. There are some big problems and very different philosophies between the two groups. I'm optimistic that things can be patched up, but you don't know the half of what went on. It's really scary how they think on that side.

Is the MEC going to provide any information regarding this encounter everyone seems to know so much about?

I happen to like our guys. What's your problem with them? From what our training reps told me, I susport them 100%.

From a line guy's perspective, it seems to me that our union is all to happy to give the company what it wants in the form of MOU's and LOA's without the input of the membership. So long as they still get their Union pay, which has gone up lately, they seem to play by Management's book without putting up much of a fight any more. A perfect example is allowing the company to use things like ACARS and an autodialer for pilot notification. I'm all for keeping our company competitive but I also don't want the company to have such easy access to me that they can screw me any time their (short) staffing model isn't working out so well for them.

We've had Acars way before ASA and one of the first things we learned was the ACARS was advisory only when it comes to scheduling. It would be a huge step backwards for us to accept that as a form of notification. Autodial? Don't have it, don't want it.

With respect to negotiations, are the XJT pilots asking for too much? For better or worse they reflect the sentiment of the XJT line pilots. We simply don't want to endure even further cuts to QOL and pay

Gee, I wonder if management is floating all this stuff to split our ranks?? Of course all of you are falling for it!!! BTW hoping the whole pilot group suffers because you might take a hit?? Nice!!

Standard Skywest SOP,
Brad is the master at pitting employee groups against each other, you guys are just the latest recipients. Enjoy that evil little troll!
Told ya so in many other prior posts, but ya'all know better.
Thank god he is on the other side of the continent!
PBR

I'll say it PBR...........You told us so. About everything you said would happen....has happened. It's been "death by a thousand cuts". The Chinese call it Lingchi. It seems to be the new philosophy of upper mgmt in America.


PBR told us about brad THE DAY HE ARRIVED. I didn't disbelieve you PBR, but he is a crafty SOB. Puts ALL the blame on others.

I found myself wanting to send him "Brad, you'll never believe what scheduling is doing to us!" letters. But I realized it was most likely at his direction, certainly with his knowledge and approval.

Actually I wasn't referring to CM within the scope of merger, just day to day stuff. I realize he is not on the merger committee.

 

[PBRstreetgang]

I will tell you again,
He is the most devious, sneaky, downright genuinely mean person I have ever worked for. And I worked for Hulas Kanodia at Trans States. We knew Hulas hated us and anticipated it, with Brad he will slap you on the back, ask how your family is, right before he slips that knife underneath your ribcage and into your aorta. If you don't open a direct dailog with with the Express guys, he will have you guys in a firefight, killing each other, he is that crafty. Him and his cheap porn star 'stache.
Glad he is gone and not my problem, and you are keeping him busy. Why do you think SGU sent a guy with no formal training to be your COO?

You ASA guys need to get some balls and stop being so afraid. The company can only benefit from the merger once we are one pilot group. WE have leverage. Let's use that to get quality of life improvements including more pay. We are going to be a Super Regional-shouldn't we get paid that way?
