Make pilots of this industry proud guys

CHQ pilots,
Everyone in this industry is supporting you guys. Comair set the bar. Everyone else now seems to be going backwards. Which is b.s. For you guys to go forwards or atleast get close to Comair now would help out all future contracts for the regionals. ASA and Continental EXpress would especially be appreciative.

Plus maybe all future managements would stop throwing that cr#ppy Mesa contract at pilots and stop saying "work for this".

You guys are impressing a lot of people holding the line like you are. Plus won't it be worth it to stop being mentioned with Mesa all time as the underbidders. That's got to be embarrassing. Put an end to it now.

Good luck guys!
Jet

Embraerdriver...shutup....

general, I am not going to get into a pissing match with you about asa and comair. We do not fault any of our competitors for being wholly owned. Thats just the way it is. ASA and Comair may have issues for their respective MEC's to take up with mainline DAL. It does not concern us and we wish them all the luck in the world.

What we are concerned with is a fair contract, growth potential, and having a great place to work.

We are striving toward that every minute of every day, until we get it all worked out.

Oh and yes, 30 more for DCI!

I just hope my fellow ASA and Comair brethren do not think that all of us at CHQ are as callous as ED is in this post.

The majority of the folks at CHQ are very concerned with the impact of what we do on other carriers, particularly in regard to our contract negotiations. We have a great deal of respect for what the Comair folks did for 89 days just a couple of short years ago. We do not relish in underselling our services to anyone. We do take pride in doing a good job and if we can outcompete someone on a level playing field that is fine. Whoring ourselves as the lowest bidder is not our gameplan nor a source of satisfaction.

ED, you come across as a d*ck in that post. Perhaps *you* don't care about Comair and ASA but I dare say that the rest of us are professional and decent enough to. I kindly request you refrain from speaking on behalf of all CHQ pilots--you're making us look like a bunch of a$$holes.

Skull,

Of all the pilots at CHQ, you are the last person who should be posting something like this...
You make us look like A$$holes on multiple boards everyday.
Although I will give you credit, as of late, I haven't had to sort through as much of your senseless BS as usual, especially the Teamster website....Thank you for that...
p.s. read the post again.....

Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....

Considering I get three complaints and fifteen attaboys (along with numerous handshakes and "Keep it ups" when I see people on the line...........). I think I'll keep posting my "senseless BS as usual."

Can you see me actually worried? Didn't think so.




Paul, you are "not concerned" about ASA and Comair's issues, only your own. Fine. Just speak for yourself. The rest of us *do* care about what goes on out there with others and we DO have a collective conscience regarding the same. If not, we wouldn't be taking this stand....

Meanwhile, starting fights with GL, bragging about not giving a crap, and flaunting 30 more jets for DCI in the faces of ASA and Comair (when they are having a period of very slow to nonexistant growth) is not helping us one iota. I would prefer to be respected by the folks at CMR and ASA not despised by them.

Be defensive, not offensive, Daniel-san.

I agree with ERJDRVR. You must be bored in TUL, and mouthing every thing on the boards. You make us look like schmucks. Most of your opinions are idiotic and paranoid fantasies. You do it here, on TSALounge, IBT board and god knows where else. The "fifteen attaboys" don't count when it's your mom.

Peace out, Tool.

 

[Skull-One]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww............my feelings are hurt.

*NOT*


What, did the same guy sign up as five different people to hurl anonymous insults in my direction?

Can you tell that I don't care, yet?

Hmmmmmmm.............. I must not be trying hard enough.




TUL? Hell, I'm in Hunt. Haven't been to TUL in a long time....



Any way.......... I'll keep doing what I do. It amazes me that so many (one) of you get worked up by my rantings!

The day I stop posting is the day I run out of things to say....not the day you "scare" me off.

Besides, you're not paranoid when everyone really is out to get you...or something.

"Tool." That's the best you could come up with? How pathetic.

MUHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm off to bed.... I need to sleep so I can come up with more idiotic and paranoid fantasies!

Ever notice that we were given two ears and one mouth. It's so we would listen twice as much as we speak.

Not intended for anyone specific. Just something to ponder.

I like your posts, it keeps things interesting. Anyway i disagree with you statement saying most people care or are concerned about what goes on at other companys. Most poeple i have talked to don't care about ASA or Comair. Do you really think that they care about CHQ? I really think not. I'm sure they wish we would just go away and give up all of "their" flying. I wish everyone in this industry the very best because they all have families like me and are just trying to make a living. BUT, my main concern is with MY company which happends to be CHQ. CHQ feeds my family right now and the better off we are, the better off my family is. I have not heard anyone flaunting the fact that we may get 30 more jets for Delta. It is also a decision that is way above your head, my head and everyone at Comair and ASA. Pilots do not make these decisions. If you feel so bad about" preventing" the growth of Comair and ASA, then feel free to leave. No one is forcing you to stay. One thing to remember here, this or any future flying with Delta does not belong to Comair, ASA or CHQ. It belongs to Delta, and they can choose to have anyone fly it.



This is not a bash on any company. It is just the fact that every pilot in every company wishes the best for his or her own.

TWAer, thanks for the input. I, too, want what is best for CHQ. I may be a loud mouth, but I am fiercely loyal to this pilot group and will defend it to the last round. It's a sad day when loyalty is considered a vice or an embarrassment....

This is a *discussion* board. I do not reserve the right to *be* right all the time. Ninety-nine percent of the time I post to hear what others think in response because the collective intelligence of those on this board far exceeds mine.

At any rate, I was here two years before I had ever even heard of CHQ and I will be here long after my days at CHQ are finished. Nobody is required to read what I say. Everyone has the option to simply ignore me if they choose and that's perfectly fine with me.

However, to suggest that we are not concerned about our fellow pilots at other companies is a bit over the top in my opinion. I dare say that our image in the eyes of other pilots at other carriers was a big factor in the decision of the pilot group to vote in favor of a strike. What others think of us matters and what we do in terms of contract (and how that effects others) also matters to most at this company.

One thing I have noticed about CHQ....the pilots are incredibly intelligent as a whole. The senior guys have done an amazing job of keeping the culture intact through a great deal of growth in a very short period of time. People at this company (with the one or two notable exceptions on display in this thread) seem to genuinely care about their brothers and sisters in arms.

If I get excited in my defense of this pilot group then at the very least try to see why. This is a great bunch of people and I'm proud to be among them. I will continue to defend them and continue to be loyal even if the gesture is not returned.

Best of luck to all of us, CMR and ASA included.

Cheers!

Looks like I owe Embraerdriver an apology for coming down so harshly. I thought you were a friend of mine so I was being extra-frank in my comments. Turns out I have no clue who you are as the person in question called me on the phone and said, "Hey, that's not me you are talking to." WOOPS! Sorry, ED!
