ASA/XJT MEC conflict

[Nevets]

Like your management did any better?

I've never seen it this bad. So far, I think previous management did better. That doesn't say much though.

if it make you feel any better, I've never seen it this bad either.

It doesn't. You guys might as well be part of SAPA. ASA ALPA is up managements ass.

You haven't been around through 4 management teams them.

Well aren't you the crusty old man.

8 years is enough of this place.

You've been through 3 groups. Erion, during George and John, would of had you eating her undies.. Ask anyone that has been here before 1998 and they will tell you that the original owners were hands down the worst.

Coopervane couldn't handle Erion and G&J....He'd be curled up in the fetal position sucking his thumb under them....:laugh::laugh::laugh:

 

[JoeMerchant]

And does that mean that you are going to go to Skywest? They are hiring as well. Whats good for the goose...

Why should I...I'm happy at ASA...Obviously Coopervane isn't....

I think many r starring to regret that WE BOUGHT U!
Should have just let XJT run it's course (Independence Air) & picked up the peaces after the implosion.
Now u guys r going to screw it up for all of us. Think u guys easily forget the path u were on before WE BOUGHT U! U should remember that.

Please please please throw us your table scraps, O' saviour of our puney pathetic airline.

I've been flying airplanes since 99, 12 years of experience. My wife lost her job last year due to the economy etc. She got a state teaching job on FIRST year pay and will make more money than my seventh year pay at XJT. While I don't have any desire to see any airline go down in flames, I have reached the point where any further degradation of my job means a career change for me. If all I have to do to get MORE days off and make MORE money is go be an underpaid overworked school teacher, then I'm out. I would much rather fly airplanes, but not if I have to live with extended family just make ends meet.

Here's a question for you, how low are you willing to go in pay, benefits, and time off before you say enough and throw in the towel? 30k a year? 20? 0? Pay 10k a year for the privilege of flying an airplane and wearing a nice looking uniform?

All I'm saying is I've reached that point where we are right now, and yes I'm willing to fight to keep it or make it better. If it has to go any lower to keep the company alive to be "reasonable," look for a towel coming from my corner.

Dont worry Expressjet guys... Joe Merchant is so far lost it isnt even funny. I think that his partner must make some serious money somewhere. He obviously doesn't get it. I really wish he would go ride General Lee's jumpseat and get schooled for a 5 or 6 hour flight. Its funny to hear him talk. I am real good friends with a 19 year 200 captain who is 56 years old and he even says "burn the place down". He obvioulsy isnt going where and has a vested interest in this place but realizes how terrible our management is. Most guys at ASA, even a good majority of the senior ones share our views. everyone cant be as stupid and so in the dark as Joe Merchant...

This sounds like people of that mentality don't like rations in the lifeboat, so they're willing to sink that too - taking everyone else with them.

Why don't you guys put your money where your mouth is? Most arsonists get out of the building BEFORE the building completely burns.

So, either you're full of excrement (because you're still here). Or, you're one sick SOB (Because you are just hanging around to make sure everyone else dies in the blaze). Because it's unlikely you are truly a psychotic "person", I tend to think it's the former. But I could be wrong.

Enjoy your displacements.

Wake up !

It's not so much about suicide as it is about not lowering the bar.
IF your a lifer, with maybe 10 years left, go down with the ship and take your 401k and get a small job. IF you have 20 years left, move on to a major. Sheeze it's not that hard is it.
Joe, you're F$#cked dude.
Don't get all wrapped around the axle with all this crap. I just had our rep straight up lie to me if that's any indicator of how this is not progressing.
I.O.W. GET OUT AS FAST AS YOU CAN!
