CAL and PBS

[Pocono Pilot]

I hear that you boys might be getting rid of PBS over there. If that is true it's really cool and great for you all.

It was one of the biggest reasons why I turned down the job after they hired me.

If you get rid of PBS and get insurance for new hires, more people will probaby think about working there. I might even consider re-applying.

What the heck, nobody else seems to be hiring. Plus I won't have to buy a new uniform.LOL

Gay little horse boy, you'll never grow up acting that way.

Just can't get over the rejection, can you.

 

[Quimby]

This outta get good...

Yeah if you mean, Delta, United, Fed EX, UPS, USAirways, Northwest, Southwest, Jet Blue....etc. etc. are all nobodies who are hiring.......oh well, maybe just not you:erm:

 

[Jmoney]

Hmmm...

I really am beginning to think ol' Pocono may have a fuse blown somewhere. Just keeps letting us tee up on her.....

Maybe Instructordude needs a chick-that would be the match of the century!

-Dumbest babies ever!!

 

[jke406]

that would work, but not for the reasons you're stating. it would work because Pocono is a teenage boy, and instructortard prefers younger boys.

This dumb-arse is on my ignore list but I still can't seem to ignore the asinine statements when folks keep quoting her/him.

Anyone seen XJT stock lately? Now there's a company worth investing in. Even MESA stock is higher and that says a lot. Smell the buyout opportunity?

I think the problem this moron has is whether or not they chose to stay at XJT, failed the interview, etc., they are pissed that CAL has decided to diverisfy.
XJT is no longer the "golden child" and you now have 4 or 5 other regionals that do the same thing for CAL as XJT and that strikes a cord.

It's quite conceiveable that XJT will loose more aircraft under the current capacity purchase agreement in the near fuure. I've heard that XJT's "experiment" has been doing well with the charter flying and DAL flying but the branded flying sucess has been, well, very limited. Add 30-45 more aircraft to that mix and now you have the possibility of paycuts and furloughs at XJT. Not a pretty thought but it might be time for pokenho pilot to examine how bad they think they want to remain at XJT.

Easy, we all know that there is more to the XJT situation than "CAL wants diversity and that's all there is too it."

We were IPO'ed with a lucritive CPA for a reason - it was writen by CAL in a way that puts us at a disadvantage for flying other CPAs. It increased the value of the company that CAL sold. It inflated the stock price.

We are in a tough spot and trying to make the best of it. We may have to furlough have COLAs or something.

I don't endorse what she says and I don't get why there is a large chip on her shoulder - but don't get all excited about XJT failing because of one bad egg. I don't call every CAL pilot I see a scab. You sound like you want a buy out or a furlough to happen just to spite XJT or this assinine poster in general... We have people here that come to work to make money and go home - hopeful in moving on to the next level.

I understand your frustration but don't make it about anything bigger than this dorks personality.

Why don't you guys just answer the question? Quit worrying about what XJT is doing and fix that crap you call a contract.

Well I just got out of the school house and have over 100 people below me. I really don't think they are having a hard time finding qualified people. 16 more people every Tuesday.

Hate the player, not the game!

Pocono is an idiot, but XJET is full of awesome people. Your comments seems to indicate you are excited about the challenges XJT is facing--why? because of Pocono?

 

[biggerguy]

And its "lose" dumbass! With your 10,000 hrs and miraculous aviation insight, you'd think one would know the correct spelling!

 

[Nixon]

And its "lose" dumbass!

And it's "it's" dumbass!

 

[ClubORD]

And it's "it's" dumbass!

That's hilarious!

No, nothing personal, just stating some of the obvious.

 

[ERJFO]

No, nothing personal, just stating some of the obvious.

Obvious? Speculating that we might furlough and take pay-cuts is obvious?

Stating the obvious would be saying that we give our newhires health insurance, don't have PBS, get paid 100% for dead-heads, have (a few) bases in parts of the country that don't make people nauseous, and don't have scabs. Using your jump-to-conclusions mat to piss on a company you don't like is not
"stating the obvious."

here we go...

do i need to call anyone's mommy or put someone in time out?

give it up, guys. the CAL/Express tension is old. the mainline/feeder tension is old.

it's just a job. no one is better than anyone else. fly your plane and be happy.

we are truly our own worst enemy. we'll never see the gains that we deserve taking a dump on each other.

keep up the fight!...for nothing.

rant: OFF

<--- at myself

 

[ERJFO]

That is what I said before this jerk decided to "state the obvious."

 

[Ex737Driver]

Touchy aren't we? Yeah, it's that obvious. The conclusions are not that hard to draw. XJT's time to suckle on the CAL teet has been diminishing. I am no fan of of furloughs or pay cuts, having seen both, but if you don't see the writing on the wall, not my fault.

 

[Palomino]

:uzi:

 

[whatitdoing?]

Nixon....that damn well rocks....ROCKS!!!! Don't you just love people that correct spelling??? Idiots..

 

[Pocono Pilot]

Sorry boys, but XJT is doing just fine. In fact, we are doing much better without the anchor of CAL holding us down.

We are spreading our wings, and soon we will be flying away, without CAL.

Have fun with your props in Newark. Oh, I thought props were for boats. LOL

 

[Jonny Sacko]

Gay, gay gay!

Let's see, when you were stictly a seat provider for CAL, you were making a garanteed profit. Now with 25% of your fleet no longer being "held down by the anchor of CAL" you are losing money.

So, enlighten us you flame-baiting troll; how is that doing better?

Glad you're happy to see PBS coming to an end. There's a whole lot else we're going to fix, which is too bad, because unless you're jumpseating, you're never going to see the inside of our cockpits. I predict your identity will be revealed on this board before the year is out.

 

[flygirlqt]

The only wings you spread are on your ultra thin pads.
But thankfully, you will be flying away from us at CAL because of your rejection.

 

[Jonny Sacko]

And again BAM! Nice.

WOW... you're a genius. You'll apply AGAIN only after 1700 pilots have been hired. 1700 pilots that you will be junior to FOREVER. Now that's getting on the right side of the wave, I'd say (not).

By the way, I thought you didn't want to come to CAL because you hate the pilots here... now you say it was because of PBS? Make up your mind.

You're better off applying to UAL or DAL, but be sure to save up some serious cash for training cause you'll have to pay for your own hotel, nopay and no per diem (At CAL, you get all 3 while in trng).

 

[Pocono Pilot]

Actually I turned down the CAL offer because of the horrible contract and PBS. I never said I didn't like the CAL guys.

All except for the nerds on this site that send me creepy PMs. Oh, and the fat scabs that are sitting in the food court in IAH sometimes. LOL

Other than that, I'm sure it is a great place to work. hahaha j/k

 

[Daddy69]

Pocono, seriously get a life! You are such a little bitch! I am so tired of your piss poor attitude with CAL! We don't want to hear it anymore! Why don't you disclose your name and we can talk about your problems in person sometime! If you want to talk poorly about our company we would at least like to know who you are. You are a spineless coward!
