Big meeting: Skywest, ASA/XJet, Alpa, SAPA

[COOPERVANE]

Pls just put a bullet in the head of this thread.

 

[Ops check good]

rtmcfi,


There is no integration. That is why this thread drifted as far as it did. And now... lets get back to the "pilots are the only employees who matter" thread.

Jesus, back to the integration. Enough dx bashing. Mine have pretty much always been great. I have found some mistakes, and they were all corrected graciously. Never caught any flack when I wanted to change anything on the release. I could probably do their job without them. As it is, they save me some work. Now, what kind of integration is ExpressJet shooting for? Any comments or input from JA?

Ya.. His comment.. Won't happen.. The meeting had nothing to do with one list. Someone brought it up and it went viral.... Now that its back to business, its a topic of the past.. Move on

Thank you!

Are you talking about the inflight wi-fi that connects at .16M/sec? Yeah, you'll be cranking out releases left and right. How many of those 50-seaters have wi-fi on them, anyways? What about the EMBs? When the Aerodata server goes down, who are you going to call? Uhh...Dispatch? Can the company afford to sit 7,000 pilots down in 3 months worth of classes just to learn the software and feel comfortable letting you do your own releases? Can they fit the whole dispatch library in the cockpit of an EMB? I guess we could find out. Will your pilot group come up with a few select people who will make sure all the data that comprises a release is being kept up to date? Will you be able to contact the next pilot out of BFL to see what fuel he needs on his flight back to PHX so you can comply with the company's round-trip fuel policy on all US Airways flights? Will you also enter in all the delays, delay codes and keep them up to date in a timely manner throughout the day? Wont you be too busy flying an airplane? How are you going to make phone calls to all those outstations at 35,000ft above the ground to let them know your airplane wont be accepting any live animals for the day? When the hub is shut down for four hours due to snow removal, are you all going to get into a huge Skype chatroom and play rock/paper/scissors to see who goes where to get things all up and going again?

This would be downright comical. I actually wish we could do this for one day, just to see how hilarious it could actually end up being.

I heard they are going to train FA's to DX and fuel the aircraft.

It's been tried. With mixed results.

While F/As are always on the lookout for a big hose, the fuel hose has always given them problems, getting the coupling engaged, but they seldom have a problem hitting the F9 key and will be able to publish a release. Oh well, DXers can always transfer to inFlight and schlepp cokes and trailmix, along with fuel and releases, not too challenging. It will limit their ability to participate in WoW tourneys though...

Now you're calling us fat??? Though, frankly, some of us could use a diet...
