Astounding. I have absolutely no respect for ALPA anymore and I can promise they will never get another dime from me.
This kind of misplaced anger only helps to drag the company down and make the competition stronger.
But in retrospect...one should observe the differences in career progression between a company that grows from within and one that grows through mergers.
Growth plan, cost control, corporate culture, consistent profitability...If you have that, you won't need mergers
Well, congrats to the AWA folks on your windfall.
I am exactly where I expected to be on the list, and am not surprised. But you cannot be serious if you feel Mondo didn't get screwed. Continuous active service since 1988 and junior to a 2005 hire from AWA, YGBFSM! The lack of fences (too small and will be revoked upon age 65 which seems to be on the fast track) seriously damages the progression of junior East pilots who had career expectations of massive attrtition. Now the AWA pilots will enjoy that attrtition.
Now, that said, this will be very unfortunate for all LCC employees. Right or wrong (and yes it's wrong but completely understandable) there will be ramifications from the East pilots that will hurt everyone. We gotta realize that the individual pilots from AWA are not at fault here and shouldn't be the target of our anger and frustration. OTOH the West posters here who offer misguided opinions as fact and who seem giddy that the East folks were spanked are fair game for those who still care. Have fun and good luck to us all, we'll need it!
That's the problem Trainer, this circus we call a profession is going down the tubes! Is this job still a profession?
Look at whats happening in this country! The middle class is eroding, and it seems like its gonna be a two class society in this country!
Back in the 70's CEO's made 16-20 times more then there average worker! Now in this country you see CEO's making 300-400 Times as much money!! See the trend!
So with all thats going on, its hard to remain professional!
And I ask again, is this really a professional job?
Yes, it is. The unprofessionalism comes from what take place outside the cockpit. Reading this thread, with the rhetoric and name calling (idiots, grandpas, etc,), mystifies me. It's not isolated to one pilot group. And I'll be yanking gear for these guys soon? Wow.
Oh that one is real easy to answer, because Mr. Colello was unemployed at the time Mr. Odell was hired and working...
