767200-

Feel better about yourself now.....that's a good boy.
With as much animosity as you have.....one would think you work for Trans States or something....yea...go Hulas....

Let's just hope APA nails em to the wall if they try and let one slide . Sad what happens when you come in low that is next to nothing.

Nail us to the wall for what? They have no jurisdiction over what we do with another company. None of their bees wax.

Ummmm... Ask ACA if that statement is true. A contract is a contract.

You're right. APA has no jurisdiction over what you do with UAL. APA does has something to say about what you do with AMR. Same situation as DAL and ACA.

Teamsters, Chautauqua, Republic.....what a joke!!!

Jeez, dude, give it a rest. Your hatred of CHQ is well known, and we've already been over the relative merits of Trans States vs. CHQ. What, did we turn you down at your interview or something? While I'm not a big fan of Teamsters national, we've got a good MEC and great individual reps busting ass to make this a great place to work. Oh, I forgot you're one of the few that thinks you're hot **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** because you've got ALPA on the property... ask the boys and girls at Comair or any of the US WOs how great ALPA national is right now. (And need I remind you about the CQFOs?)

Meantime, chill out, you can reapply in 6 monthsD

As far as the AA scope, that is a legitimate issue and one I'm surprised our management has overlooked. OTOH, BB has hinted more and more recently that he sees the growth in the 70-seat arena (duh); maybe someone decided getting rid of 15 junk E140s in a dead hub was worth the cost.... Personally, 90 percent of us here at CHQ would be happy to see the AA code-share go bye-bye. (Speaking for those of us who don't live in STL). Our pass bennies on AA suck compared with the other code-shares, the airplane pays less in the left seat, and the flying should really be Eagle and AA's anyway. (Really, BOS-STL in an EMB? Who the fvck thought of that?!) Not to mention the well-known love and happiness in the disfunctional AMR family.

I would love to see your management (CHQ) tell the APA to shove thier scope clause where the sun don't shine.

That kind of "scope" is not really scope at all, it's pure mainline BS and greed. Somebody needs to tell them off, just like Indy told UAL to go to he!!. Maybe Indy will have a rough time and maybe they won't make it, but I sure hope they do make it and I'm pulling for them.

In any case, it is better to go down fighting for yourself than to keep taking it in the rear from a bunch of greedy self-serving sob's. Whether they are bean counters at United or pilots at AA doesn't matter.

Now, all you APA loyalists can flame me all you wan't. I love you just as much as you love me.

 

[Airpiraterob]

will definitely be interesting to se how this turns out.

anyone have a news release direct from CHQ about this intent to fly the 170? i've seen releases from RJET holdings about republic only, and APA material. anything from the mouth of CHQ?

767's first post - in 1/04

Trans States Airlines
Hi, I would like to know it is to work to TSA.
I've heard good and bad things. I have an upcoming interview and any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks


767's 1st post - He's only been at TSA for like 8 mos. !!! What a retard - he must know so much about the business (said with a sarcastic tone). He dares to write drivel re: CHQ. It's a small world 767, and we all have friends that have friends. We'll find your name eventually. And your name will find it's way onto our lists.

 

[StarChecker]

Another interesting post from 767200...

"I applied to CHQ for 4 years. From having 900 TT hours and 200ME, to having 3700TT, 700ME, 1700TURBINE PIC, and a type rating. I never even got a call or a postcard. I have no idea what "the minimus" are. Maybe you need a letter from someone inside?"


That's from last month.


And another piece of the puzzle fits into place. With your attitude...thank God we didn't hire you. Take the hint...ASS!

Well, as someone who DOES live in STL, I would be sorry to see it go. I understand if the company believes it's in the best interest to get rid of the codeshare, but I don't see it if we've got to leave that much money on the table. As I understand it, we own those 140s, and if AA drops us without cause, they have to buy those 15 birds from us at market price. If we go and terminate it, then I'm pretty sure we don't get those good terms and we've got 15 140s that no one else will touch. This can't be good for the company, and I would be surprised if BB is going to walk away from it without smelling like a rose.

Then again, it's been pretty obvious for a while that STL/AA isn't one of our higher priorities. Maybe the man does have a plan.

Great airline...short upgrade.....Oh wait, yeah, then 9-11 happens and first your great airline FIRES people instead of fourlough, then that joke of "union" you have does nothing to bring them back, until company realizes they need the people back.....duhh....great airline, huh....
Your airline, which "creates" an airline within an airline to fly the 170s. Whether you agree on scopes or not, that's a sh!t move by..."Republic".....
Yeah, "regional whore of the year"....give me a break.......
It's funny, you compare yourself with Colgan....????
Teamsters, Chautauqua, Republic.....what a joke!!!

So wise and so bitter after 8 short months???

 

[I.P. Freley]

Less than 8 months, probably, if s/he interviewed in January. At best, that's six months, assuming a Feb class date.

Not to mention living in a glass house. When you work at a company that furloughed dozens of pilots out of seniority order after 9/11 (by EQUIPMENT, instead, furloughing prop people first and jet people a month later), perhaps you shouldn't be pointing fingers quite so vigorously. At least CHQ had to pay off the fired pilots in a settlement... TSA didn't give a nickel to the people that were sent packing a month earlier than they should've been because they happened to be in the J41... Not that they had to, of course, but you get the idea.

Some people I know got an extra thousand dollars out of the deal for having the good fortune to be on the jet in those unfortunate times... That's an extra month's training pay for sitting at home, mind you.
