Do Not work for Trans States!

[BYUFlyr]

Effective today Airways got a new res system b/c of the merger. There is no way for them to verify our employment in the system other than cass. Since we are not cass............YOU LOOSE! (new tsa mission statement)

Can you still use your flight benefits on Airways?

 

[rcbullock]

Weird

How does Southwest verify? Guys jumpseat with them all the time. We of course have an agreement, but I don't think they can verify.

If you already have an active travel card as far as i know, you still have benifits. From what i heard we are no longer getting travel cards because of PG and her actions/crimes. In addition some travel cards were deactivated as a result. I also heard that you can not change any benificiaries on your travel card because of the above person. She screwed the pooch on that one. Another thing i heard is that airways makes us pay zonal fares like american. I guess that is apart of the inergration of AW and US systems.

I can attest to this at least being partially true. PG definitely f'd it up for everyone. Good riddance. She was a miserable STL person anyway. I submitted a reuest to have my girlfriend added to my travelcard the 1st week in December, and as of my resignation on feb 23rd (moved on to XJT) she was still not on the benefits. Every time I called about it, I was given the same BS answer "we've been locked out of the system. We're working on it." 2+ months is more than ample tme for a password reset in my opinion. Sounds like I got out just in time, since I was a commuter (frequently on Airways). That company hates commuters with a passion. Even more than they hate pilots. Its run by a bunch of miserable STL people (STL being a very unfriendly place) whose attitude is "just live in STL". By contrast XJT positive spaces you home on weekends druing training and has a commuter clause. The difference is truly night and day. Hulas and his henchmen are evil men who hate pilots and seem to set out to intentionally make life as miserable as possible for them.

What did PG do?

Just thought I would remind everyone what a crappy place to work Trans States has become. It has always been bad, but recently it has gotten worse. Pilots being suspended without pay for no good reason, pilots being harassed about calling in sick, and hard earned vacations being stolen by the company. Pilots are leaving Trans States daily and fewer new pilots are choosing to come here. This place is headed for a meltdown!

There are plenty of other decent regionals out there, go elsewhere!

Trans States didn't just become that way. It has been a piece of sh#t f#c#ed up airline for at least the last 15 years. My condolences to the people stuck there.

Hey someone let me know what pg did. I worked there for a year and hated the woman. She would sit in her office and do nothing of what she was supposed to do. I waited 3 months to get my gf put on my airways benefits and it never happened...i left before it happened.

She was a complete waste

She was selling buddy passes in local bars, passing them off as full fare discounted tickets. She got caught when a pissed off customer made a scene at the gate. The company questioned the pilot to whom the pass had been issued and found out quickly that said pilot had no idea what they were talking about. Believe it or not, the moron management staff was able to put 2 and 2 together and figure out what she was doing.

Can you say $HIT CANNED!

 

[dispatchguy]

About PG - I always thought that she was wierd, and not that attractive either. She would act all better than anyone, then hide in her office with the door closed all day long so u never knew if she was in there or not.

Good riddance, she was an arrogant biatch

What if youre black? Would I get the hate too?

TSA is an equal opportunity employer.

 

[smokey999]

Paula Gregory got canned huh?

 

[MINIME]

I've been saying it for a long time. Hulas owned companies are possibly worse than Ornstein ran companies. That's hard to believe but quite possible. Afterall, he did manage to start and operate GJ. Ornstein was not able to continue with Freedom. Granted the pilots got shafted for it, but stopped it nevertheless.

I knew about the failure rate at TSA. It's horrendous! Low time people, watch out. Don't be lured by the chance to fly a jet at the possible expense of your record. I didn't know about the Jumpseat problem however. But I'll bet GJ has no problems cause I believe they're Cass.

People, stop sending your resumes to these outfits. You doing so only empowers these people to continue their business of screwing their pilots thus, encouraging other companies to somehow screw their own pilots as well. It's time to show these types that without pilots, they really don't have a business. Also, that paying your pilots a fair wage is far better and more profitable than undercutting them by starting an alter ego. It comes down to this; no pilots-no flying-no millions for them.

She was selling buddy passes in local bars...

Ok, now you have my attention.

What was she getting for them, exactly?

[skyking96]

pg

I heard as much as $500.00 for a rt pass.

By the way, NO MORE VACATIONS for TSA pilots till like fall, or probably the rest of the year. You all need to f-ing walk on that job!

 

[Cookie Monster]

The moderators really need to make this a sticky thread. They would be doing new pilots a real service.


STAY AWAY FROM TSA!

How many US Express airplanes does TSA operate?

We rode on the van the other day with a BlowJet crew in PVD. What a bunch of lowlifes. They don't say a word and keep their heads down the entire ride. I saw a TSA plane in PVD as well. They don't make the TSA folks overnight here as well do they?

Oh but they do. Those scumbags are appearing in more and more places.

Six. Mostly crewed out of RIC.

That numbnut? Thank God I never flew with the guy but I've heard enough stories first hand to know there would have been a fight after the flight finished.

 

[Walter Sobchak]

I flew with that jackass several times. Trust me. All of the stories are true.

 

[WalterSobchak]

Damn...I never realized there was another Walter here. Damn.

 

[Walter Sobchak]

Ha! First!

It'll be interesting to see what happens to the applicant pool at TSA now that Chanequa has a $2500.00 signing bonus.

TSA's mins are a lot lower than Chautauqua's. And since everyone coming into the airline industry is always told that seniority is everything, they'll still get plenty of applicants despite being a $hithole.

You talking about TG, I mean DR. TG at Trash States?
Man...I have a couple stories for you on that guy. Darn near got us alll KILLED one night in DEN. I don't want to sound pompous or anything, but I'm convinced if he had a low time FO instead of me that night that it would have been a fatal accident.
