do you buy from M and H?

[utahpilot]

I do not intend to use my uniform allotment my company provides through M and H Uniforms. it is a 'use it or lose it' program. so, if you like to buy some uniform items from them, I'll buy them for you and sell them to you at a discount of 20% OBO

PM if interested.

Trying to subsidize your OO paycheck. I wish I had thought of it first.

 

[s.o.sJTB]

People have gotten fired for stuff like this.

 

[utahpilot]

bump!

 

[Tarzan]

I may be wrong but it could be construed as fraud by the company if it's discovered. Be sorta crappy to have a charge like that on your record.

 

[s.o.sJTB]

Do you really need a hundred bucks that bad? You are willing to jeapordize your job (and the whole alottment program, yeah thats right with no contract they could decide to take it away and use people like you as the excuse.) over a hundred bucks?

If you arent going to use it find a fellow SkyWest pilot who could.

 

[utahpilot]

settle down, girls.

I'd love to know how this is fraud, or how this is any problem at all. if I sell you MY lawnmower that I just bought but have decided I don't want, is that fraud? what about my car? or my squirt gun?

point is, once I buy it, it's mine. whether I decide to wear it, use it for a rag to clean the toiler, or fly it high above my house on a pole, that is totally up to me.

s.o.s.JTB, do you have any proof that someone has been fired for doing this? PM me with all the details, because I highly doubt it. Now, I know that JB polices our pilot web site, and would probably contact me if I advertised there, but I'm not.

 

[Tarzan]

I don't give a crap, you aren't in my pilot group. Not going to lose my allotment.

But you can bet if your company can find a reason to nix it, that would be a reason they can hang their hats on. Don't give the jerks a reason to make it harder on newhires.

UtahPilot,

Your logic may work in your own mind but it looks like in your original post you are taking orders before you even order the stuff. No matter how you slice it, ethically it is wrong. "you know it, I know it, the American people know it." There really is no debate and I wouldn't want to argue your side of it to the company should they call you in.

Hey utahpilot, what kind of allotment is it? Could you get a rollerboard at a reduced price? Mine is falling apart, sure could use a new one and at a discount. Thanks.

Oh yeah, what are Skywest uniform colors?

Please...quick...I wanna buy ur "squirt" gun! Is it "loaded?!?"

 

[utahpilot]

ok, how about this?

"I have some uniform items from M and H that I don't intend to wear. These include ties, hats, pants, belts, and pilot shirts. Sorry, no luggage. Pants/hats/etc. are black. Would you care to buy them? Please PM me if interested?"

...sheeesh

Don't Buy the Pants

I strongly urge you against buying the pants from M&H unless you fly out of somwhere warm and not windy all year. The wind goes through the pants like nothing...

 

[Bluto]

Shut it JJ

Don't give the jerks a reason to make it harder on newhires.

Strangely enough, newhires don't get the uniform allotment. I think it starts after your first year. Newhires get to payroll deduct the full cost of the uniform.
(apparently, I remembered incorrectly on the Jepp front. What the hell do you mean "wrong again"?! When was I wrong the first time? Shouldn't you have said, "wrong finally Bluto, after decades of perfection"?)

 

[Magneto]

Strangely enough, newhires don't get the uniform allotment. I think it starts after your first year. Newhires get to payroll deduct the full cost of the uniform. Though you still have to pay cash for your Jepps, if I remember correctly...

No wrong again BLUTO! I can give Bluto crap because well........ I can.

You can payroll deduct everything, including Jepps. It can take a good part of a year to pay all that crap off.

 

[OPECJet]

You guys are paying for your Jepps, or the binders?

 

[Magneto]

You guys are paying for your Jepps, or the binders?

You pay for your binders and your initial jepp plates. Company then provides the updates.

 

[Bluto]

Yep, it's something like $90 for a jet newhire, a little less for a brasilia guy. Unless magneto wants to correct me, again.

 

[OPECJet]

You pay for your friggin Jepps????? Unreal........ I've heard about buying your own binders, but not buying your own contents.

 

[Lil Jon]

wait, newhires at which airline are paying for jepps??
