SIU, I can't stop looking at that avatar..... imp: NICE!!

I also agree with this.

Wow! Isn't it great we're all getting along without name calling and we're sharing pictures of half-nekkid girls?

OK, I'm done.

[ohplease!]

The N's have been changed, but at one point there were several- back in December I saw two of them for myself.

I think Maayybee you need to learn the diff. between a 70 and a 90....not sure though....maybe you saw something nobody else did.

 

[duck_killer]

Grey do you even have a SKW employee number yet? Where do get your reference for the "typical skw attitude" quote. Your like a child ..............

But seriously i dig your 8 posts a day, its good to see one of our new hires that dosen't spend all his time on the internet.

I have a good attitude and am nice...so no chip on my shoulder here. I am by far not the only one that thinks this either. Why do you think most of us ASA peeps stay away from the Comair lounge. Seems like it is the older guys that are way more bitter. The younger Comair guys are pretty cool.

Due to the TSA, you guys can't go over to the lounge. We were told in a memo that we have no escort privlages. You now have to be approved to escort people.

V1,

Sorry to bust your bubble. No Skywest 900 was ever registered to ASA. They all went directly from a factory Canadian reg, to a Skywest "SK" registration.

Now, the 4 700's kept their EV registration for a while.

For those who insist that they actually saw it, I guess will have to call their aircraft recognition skills into question.

Like 701EV that's in the Bombardier congratulatory ad in your inflight magazine celebrating Skywest's 35 years of exsistence? Yea that was pretty sweet. And are you guys still averaging 1500-2000 hours of flight experience for your newhires like your magazine states in the safety section?

(Yes, Mormons do swear on occasion just like everyone else)

Everyone else doesn't.. and to say that all Mormons do, just because you do, isn't really fair to the rest of the tribe nor is it true, now is it?

Riddle me this. Why is ASA always at war with somebody? Comair,Delta and now SkyWest. Comair should be pissed at you for flying struck work in their equipment.

Whats up fins, cat got your tongue?

 

[MELIT]

For the 10th time I don't work for SkyWest. Since we're on the topic of laughing, You're the one that flew struck work. Why didn't you tell them to "stuff it"? What you did is the ultimate whipsaw!

That pesky cat must have VeeOnes tongue also!

MELit,

ASA is always at "war" with someone because ALPA failed to give ASA pilots the same representational rights as other members who's airlines were acquired.

ASA was at the very front lines of the alter ego airline explosion (along with the US Air Wholly Owned's and a few airlines that no longer exist after having lost their "wars").

By being early adopters, ASA and Comair got the most early; and have gotten the most taken away from them as their companies gain longevity. Junior Captains have two years' seniority at SkyWest. At ASA there are many getting 9 year pay who can't hold weekends off.

In a no brand alter ego world the union must make its first priority job protection. However, "scope" is not as sexy a topic as "pay rates" - so the politicians in ALPA do what resonates (anyone against higher pay?) while not emphasizing enough the necessary, responsible, task of job protections.

ASA has an excellent opportunity to fix what is in their control to fix. The SkyWest pilots have zero job protections (even worse than ASA pilots). It will be an interesting couple of months to be sure.

I love flying and enjoy my crews and my work at ASA. ALPA's failure to provide the ASA pilots (and regional pilots in general) with the same representation provided to mainline pilots will almost certainly result in the loss of a career I've loved and sacrificed for in the next several months. Sure, I will make (a lot) more money at my next job, but I will always look up when I hear a CF34 go overhead and miss those easy to grease on trailing link gear.

And guys, we need to look at this piloting profession as a "career." No one should pass over the rights of a pilot in the right seat of a Beech 1900, or left seat of a Caravan.

and ASA never flew struck work. Nobody did. Even Delta did not. That is why the strike was effective to the tune of $335,000,000 per pilot.

I beg to differ. Struck work was flown by ASA in Comair equipment. Just plain facts.Look back a few pages, ohplease ASA pilot agrees.
