We just lost our mec chair

I'm not flaming you, but using the word "lost" kinda seems to imply that it may have caused some tragedy or grief in some sort of way.

We didn't "lose" anything. An incompetent leader that was ineffective and failed to keep the the pilot group together as much as possible just got basically ousted.

Nothing was lost, it's a gain as far as I'm concerned.

incompetent management will cost this company way more than a rise in pilot salaries ever will.

Oh, I agree completely-

But this strategy will work. I can't wait for the email explaining how we need deep concessions, or doom and gloom, and blah, and blah.

-Just watch how fast out pilot group will eat it up! INC will wind up taking it out of our butts, as always.
 
They have been pulling the wool over SKYW pilots eyes for 3.5 decades, you guys aren't any different, just pilots in a different geographical location, but the wool will be pulled none the less.
Enjoy

So without releasing your internal company memo, what did he have to say this time?

The press release gave five specific primary factors for the loss. Yet the internal memo cited integration costs instead. I think the internal memo is just them trying to manage our expectations for the upcoming contract negotiations and the press release is them trying to manage the investors/stockholders' expectations.

If you guys believe any of this crap, you haven't been doing this very long. This is the text book 101 start of negotiations for the company. Instill fear and doom and gloom about the future. SH will put out a bunch of articles saying how our industry is ending etc. Remember Skywest has over $700 mil in unrestricted cash and good contracts.

OK thanks.
 
The rumor in Wasatch Valley is that a local airline will be bidding on a Memphis based regional, once the new Mesaba and turbo props are spun off.
 
What's funny is that no one at XJT that I have flown with or talked to cares about managements problems anymore. No one cares to go the extra inch that they use to, no one cares what the write ups are, no one cares. Even the senior lifers, including chief pilots, are preparing to leave. There will be no JCBA at XJT without significant increases to both QOL and pay so there will probably be no JCBA for several years. That won't hurt the pilots of XJT one bit, but it will certainly cost ASA and SKYW. And yes, if SKW manages to close ASA/XJT then that is that, we move on with our lives.

Pretty accurate.... Why would we vote in a lesser contract when ours is good as is. And I see all the things you describe every week. I'm honestly seeing more unity in the XJT pilot group than I've seen in a long time.
 
It's time to cut XJT loose...let them sink on their own.

You are just a blue collar union worker, your opinions on corporate strategy do not matter. You are stuck with us whether you like it or not. You can go back to school, climb the corporate ladder, and work your way into a position that allows you to make such decisions. That or you can post irrelevant opinions on flightinfo.com based on other irrelevant posts on flightinfo.com.
 
the optimist has flipped !

Welcome to the party !
Remember when I was saying this months ago?
You were so optimistic then and now?
A pessimist like the rest of us.
I guess something has drastically changed? What was it exactly that made you flop? under staffing, re assignment, jr manning, fly now grieve later, no coffee,
5 legs on the last day, ORD.......
It's all mind over matter professor, If you don't mind, it wont matter HA Ha ha..
 
Just glad I will never have to fly with Joe Merchant!!! I disagree with every single thing he says!!! Let's cut loose all the guys who believe we should not ask to make a good living while seeing our kids more than one day a week!!! Hey Joe, how about management does just a little better job running this place that has become a joke and we can all do better!!! What is wrong with that logic??
