?!?!?Big News at Shuttle America?!?!?

Congrads SA, the better news is no USAir Pilots want to be FOs. They have all turned down the FO positions at other companies.

j4j is really cashing in for other carriers. Just look at how many j4j jets theyre are at TSA and CHQ now! I mean, wow, you may get 2 jets!!!!.

Just for the record, to my knowledge Trans States has exactly one J4J airplane, with four J4J pilots.

Dude

Couple of corrections...

PSA was the first carrier to sign J4J when the MEC ratified it without a vote.

Also there are a whole bunch of mainline guys occupying the right seat at PSA. I know I was bypassed for a training class so one of them could take my spot.

>>>Airways favors you now not because you are good employees, but rather because you are cheeeeep ones, mesa included.<<<

Ah, yes, I remember you now. You were the one who had no comeback when I pointed out how interesting it was that we are "not...good employees" to the point that we regularly beat two of three, and usually the third, as well, of the WO's in performance (on-time dep, on-time arr, completion factor)... Somehow we did this with all used-up, 20+ year-old Saabs and limited resources.

I guess the REASON you had no comeback to that is that you can't refute the numbers. What you CAN do is come in here and blaspheme the pilot group because you and your friends were or are getting shafted by Big U and their decision to place so many airplanes with PSA and not with ALG/PDT.

Yep, it must be OUR fault... You know, the contract carriers that U has been using seemingly forever in some cases. Strange how PDT/ALG survived so long and did so well with nearly a dozen contract carriers running at some points. It couldn't be USAirways' fault, it couldn't be the fault of your MEC, PSA's MEC, your contract, market factors, basic economics, 9/11, the parent company's bankruptcy, or anything else that actually makes SENSE.

Must be Shuttle America PILOTS' fault.

I'm sorry you had such trouble at PDT, really I am. I would have loved to have worked there back in the day... Before Shuttle America ruined it for you, I guess. Speak with disdain and vitriolic fervor until you're blue in the face (fingers?), but blaming US doesn't make us guilty... It just makes you look petty, misguided, and bitter. At the very least you are guilty of poor aim in your jabs, except maybe for the last part where you briefly mention the only WO that appears to be doing very, very well indeed (or at least has a seemingly bright future) at the expense of the other two.

Hmmm, reading the SA intranet (SD letter) I didn't see anything that's been mentioned above...but great news none the less.

Well congrats to my buds, and budetts at SA maybe I bailed too soon, well maybe not only tried to bail for 2 years. But you know that weakness of needing food. One thing I can say is that the SA crews have been some of the best I ever worked with.
