Expressjet announcement today

I'm not sure I have too much faith in that ALPA study.

Keep in mind that even airline managements from many different airlines contract with ALPA E & FA for these sorts of studies, because no one has more experience and credibility than ALPA E & FA in this field. The study is reliable and accurate.

Oh there you are. So exactly how was holding the line at Gulfstream and Pinnacle?

Oh there you are. So exactly how was holding the line at Gulfstream and Pinnacle?

The pilots at GIA got an excellent contract for a 19-seat turboprop operator, and the pilots at PCL are holding strong on achieving a fair contract after continuing to fight for it for years. Any other questions?

Hell...if I were paying for the job, I would expect a pretty kick arse contract, too.

Lots of GIA pilots never gave GIA a dime for training, genius.

Are you one of them?

Dude,
He did not PFT, the check came from his mom! So there, he didn't PFT, his mom did!

I hate admitting it...but I'm almost a fan of the new and improved PBR.

 

[XPOO]

PBR v2.0 now with more molecules

I know we have had our differences, thats because we have different jobs. PCL, is different, he is the very essence that defines the problems that PROFESSIONAL pilots are experiencing. PCL thought nothing of stepping to the front of the line via PFT, took a job at one of the krappiest airlines in existence(next to messa), then hired onto valuejet, a company who's body count rivals Aeroflot, and also employs as many scabs as another well known major airline. Notice a trend? He is so wrong, he ain't never been right! If you wanna start up with me, just tell me how to run my career or airplane.

[PCL_128]

Are you one of them?

No I'm not, but many of them are. Attacking all GIA pilots for PFT is ridiculous when many of them are off-the-street hires who never gave Cooper a dime. GIA has been hiring street CAs for years, none of which PFT'd. You want to attack them too?

Naaa,
Just you and your mom PFT boy!

[Snakum]

PFT_128 will be a silver-spoon-fed, spikey-headed, IPod-wearing, backstabbing hypocrite headed for the unemployment line after he burns down Airtran. At least he'll have even MORE time to surf the net for porn and Pilot Politic'ing while collecting that check.

Whatta loser. He truly doesn't understand how laughable he is. No shame. None. And clueless.

 

[PCL_128]

That ignore list is filling up quickly!

Is it just me, or is PFT quickly (and, sadly, unintentionally) becoming the new, ALPA-loving version of HelloNewman?

No, just a comment. Trying for a good contract does nothing for the fact that YOU flew a crap undercutting contract, and yet act as though you've ever held the line. The point here is your a hypocrite. Period.

Once you've secured a fair contract, get back to me. So far, no regional ever has, so you really don't have much room to talk. All regionals have crap contracts.

Then maybe I have some room to talk...see you're still spreading your hypocritical BS and holier than thou attitude. I like to read the responses, people have noticed you're full of it!

Heard through the grapevine you offered Air Tran management a sweet deal to stay employed... forego your pay and fly for free and ALSO reimburse the money AAI spent for all your past and future training events. Is that true? Sounds like something you'd do! Oh wait, you already are used to PFT.

Good luck to those 180 pilots at Air Tran that are geting screwed, I wish all of you the best.

:laugh: Yeah, sure, that's what I did. Nevermind the fact that I'm not getting furloughed anyway. :laugh: You need to find a new "grapevine" apparently.

I worked at ExpressJet and currently work at AAI. Expressjet hands down across the board had a better contract than AAI. What does that say about our contract? Our contract is not bad (except pay rates) but you are way off base with your comment.
