NOT TRUE!!! I was on reserve the day before the hurricane hit (IKE) and was good until the following Tuesday.

I got called for a IAH-MCO flight which would leave at noonish the day before the hurricane hit and have a 48 hour layover in MCO. I asked scheduling i fmy wife and daughter could go and he said that they could not positive space them. I said "ok, but I am telling you now that if they don't get on that I am walking off the plane". I got a call from the chief pilot for that and I told him the same thing......long story short, they got positive space tickets!! And I never heard another word!!

Stand up for yourselves!! I also asked the CPO where I should park my car because I did not want to leave it in the parking lot when a hurricane came thru. They said they did not know where else to park. Oh well, I parked in Marriot lot, underneath. Ended up being free, no attendant when I got back.

Point of story, don't listen to anyone. Be in control yourself and no CPO will bother you. If they feel they can intimidate you, they will. If they know they can't, they won't waste their time.

The idea of a union is that everyone doesn't have to constantly "negotiate" their own way.

Hey, I don't work for the current contract, I let the current contract work for me!

So, are you mad that I was able to make lemonade out of my lemons? What is the problem?

I thought you all said I was trying to get a CP job, kinda puts a hole in your story huh....

"Kellner acknowledged Continental's labor costs are on the high end of the industry. But he said the current economic situation might not make it the best time for negotiations with mechanics and pilots, whose contracts became amendable at the end of 2008."

SO F@&KING WHAT?

Exec compensation is up more than 400 times what it used to be. No complaints from the CFO on THAT issue.

AA is at the top in compensation, too. Never mind that, in real dollars, we're working for less than AA paid in 1992.

I'm making the same today as a 767 FO as I made in 1996 as a TWA 767 FO when adjusted for inflation.

So, senior management, take your rantings about employee cost and shove them up your A$$!

FUPM. TC

P.S.--And to all those hand-wringing chicken-littles out there who are 'afraid to hurt the company'--FU, too!

Interesting. The prose style. It's...familiar....yet, the message - strangely divergent. Not the same person, no, but there is a striking similarity. Could it be? Another - an alter ego? Like Spock and Sybock?

Oh well. Back to Oprah.

Once again Sean, you are a prime example of SCAB mentality. I honestly hope we fly together someday!

I don't know if you were around when the economy was going gangbusters and CAL was printing money but they weren't exactly throwing handfuls at us. As a matter of fact, I'm sure they had a great laugh at all the money we left on the table because we had a bunch of guys who were scared of their own shadow. If you actually believe they will "take care of us when they have it" you are absolutely delusional.

We will only get what we literally beat out of them and if that thought makes you uncomfortable then you are part of the problem.
