Surplus, while you are turning off the P-R-I-D-E switch, why don't you look for the R-A-M-B-L-I-N-G O-N A-N-D O-N switch and turn that off too...

That switch doesn't have an ON and OFF position on surplus1. It only has NORMAL and TURBO mode.

Does anyone forsee a situation where a regional will raise the bar ANYTIME in the forseeable future? It clear that managements' strategy is kicking the crap out of ALPA at this level and I just don't see how that changes, even during good economic times.

Hopefully QX will. Contract is due 09/06.

It was written to 172Driver. Fortunately his span of attention is not limited to that of a 10 year old.

For you I'll keep it simple .... stuff it, dude. Now you can go back to playing Flight Simulator on your PS.

I'll try to remember that when I'm trying to be witty. :laugh:

Can you please explain (with facts and evidence) how JC Lawson earns $160,000 per year?

-Neal

I doubt it is $160,000 per year, but it was probably close to $135,000 year under the old payrates.

 

[JoeMerchant]

I suppose I like to look forward rather than look backward...

Hard to see the bus that's about to run you over if you don't look back. Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.......

Perhaps (using $113/hour and 1200 credit hours, but I don't know the CMR FTFPL policy)...but he could also make that flying the line. Having been on FTFPL (and XJT's is a generous policy), I can tell you that I make more money on the line now than I ever did on FTFPL (and have tons more time off) and I have more of my sanity remaining (not much admittedly) as well.

Yea, but living in the past will never allow someone to move beyond it. Ask Al Bundy.

Neal,

I dare you to find one RJDC supporter or ALPA sceptic who is "living in the past", or doesn't want to move beyond the past. The ways of the past aren't working. It is ALPA that continues to "live in the past". I realize you want to change things. I don't doubt that for a minute. I don't question your motives, nor your desire to reverse this "race to the bottom". I do question your ability, and that of your fellow "task force" members to move ALPA in a timely and effective manner. There are many people higher up in the food chain that are resistant to change and are living in the past. While you look forward, I encourage you to look back also. This will help you understand how and why we got to this point. It will also allow you to learn from the mistakes of others.

Again, good luck and I hope you can prove me wrong.

Lawson’s budget for 2005 was over $165,000 dollars, according to a close friend of mine who was on the MEC at the time. This included his pay $141,000 (100 hours at 70 seat top pay), his home office expenses, his free cell phone, and his gas mileage to and from.

My buddy also told me he had a $500 per month unaccountable expense allowance before the MEC FO Reps got it thrown out.

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely!

Why any Pilot at Comair wants this guy around is beyond me. He gets credit for the 2001 contract but as far as I can tell it was in spite of him! CT has 10 times the knowledge but has the personnality of a rabid badger.

The rest of the MEC is window dressing(GA) and a yes man (BB)! So where do you go from here is the question, one I'm sure will be answered soon. This once proud and capable pilot group will continue its death spiral until someone either sees its' potential or the spiral becomes tighter!

As for me I would think it's time to "punch out"!

agree

get rid of him and his good ol boys spending your hard earned money. Its all ALPA dues, the company only pays for the 12 landings he does a year. POS.
