Hey ASA Alpa snobs let me ask you a question.
Is a 13% pay increase on 30 airplanes worth 300 of your fellow pilots jobs?

 

[shamrock]

lets hurry up an strike so we can destroy this company so I can go look for a job without a selfish pilotgroup.

There's nothing stopping you from looking for a job now.

Why wait for a strike if the rest of us bother you so much?

BTW you think skywest would let us ASA pilot jump ship to them? I would love to just leave this hole asa and go to an airline with a future.

Superpooter-
What makes you think the OO pilots want you amogst them?

I hate the union and SkyWest managment could feel good knowing that I would vote no on any drive for alpa.

COOL!!! 900's for 50 seat pay!!! I can't wait!

Come on guys... in general, us at SKYW are NOT happy about getting 900's on the property especially when they're used to whipsaw us against each other. In my opinion, our pilot group made a really poor decision voting through what was supposed to be an 18 month agreement. Just for the record, I voted down that TA and knew we were setting a precedent we didn't want to set. Here we are almost four years later and nothing's changed.

Personally, I wish you guys all the best and support you 100%.

Nah, it and its alter ego D'FagsIblo are actually a Ford & Harrison attorney; white chick, five five, a buck sixty or so who fell off the partnership track when she got caught doing a janitor in the stairwell...........

I just think its silly that ASA Mec yuppies think that whatever managment says is "a lie" or they are "trying to scare pilots". Maybe just Maybe they know what they are talking about. The fact that we are already one of the highest paid on 70 should give you some indication that a increase is not going to happen.

 

[probablecause]

So is Skywest going to fly those 900's out of Atlanta to all of those places down south of Flordia now.

 

[goahead]

recent changes in Delta's Network plans, these are the key words in the news release IMHO. Our 70's are to expensive and our IP's do make a ton. Give us something to vote on and we will see where we stand as a group.

Stop it Kooter, you're killing me!

Exactly put it up to a vote. What is the MEC afraid of? They are like Mafia crime bosses.

 

[outtahere]

Boy this superkooter is Colgan material if I ever saw it! He believes what ever mgmt. says and he wants a pay cut and no union. If it makes you feel better you can just give me 10% of your pay. Secondly, can Skywest even fly a 900 with United's scope clause? Aren't they locked out at 70 seats? Sure they may be seventy seaters now, but they are going to be 76 seaters. This is all smoke and mirrors and I am not buying it. Better to be fourloghed with my head held high and the ability to look myself in the mirror, than pissed off at myself for the next eight years and feel like a lowly Mesa pilot. This is my job and I am here to make money, nothing else matters!!!!!!

Just go now. I'm sure not many captains will miss flying with you.

You know its funny how Charlie Tutt comes with his scare tactic on the pilots and so far there has been no paycuts anywhere at ASA. All employess except for union members are eligible for this so called profit sharing. If ASA is really not competitive, why hasnt ASA manangement taken any paycuts? Why did ASA came up with the crappy awards program? So far there has been no improvments in ATL and I do not see any improvement in the future. Enough with the phone polls and bring on the strike vote. It does not mean we will go on strike for thos idiots who like to jump in to conclusions but it will send a strong message to management that we are serious about this negotiations and we want a fair contract NOW!!!!

 

[SuperKooter]

None of the ALPAites have answered my question, so I will state it again.

Why can't we put it up to a vote?

 

[NoR * CaL]

Ok CT; by sticking to our guns, standing up for what we believe is right, taking the responsibility of this operation off the shoulders of the contract groups, and at least getting a partial improvement in QOL (as good as paycheck to paycheck is) by losing the 90's, does that get me out my misbid and diff. class and back to the 50 and my 17 days off?? Sounds like a plan....

 

[SKYWRJGUY]

Errr...

The only good thing about 90-seaters coming to SKYW right now (should that happen) is the volume of Diet Coke they have on board--I can nearly get my 1.2 per cent differential in that along, alas, that doesn't help pay bills. That aside, I think management still has an integrity gap when not fulfilling their implied promises from the "agreement" three years ago. Woe be the sky is falling in all communique' but we know better--these 90s plus a like number of 70s. I have voted against the original agreement, and against the 1.2 percent, for at least that is the best we can do in our position to signal our lack of managment good faith. Surely they must know to continue to depress real wages in the long term is not going to be good for the company, at least as viewed by the growing--and increasingly frustrated--pilot group.
