Expressjet (ASA) MGMT managing by intimidation

4 pilots have been terminated in 2012.

I can think of only one person that has been fired from here over the past year, and he was warned time, after time, after time, after time, after time, to quite harassing FFDO's. It's not like this sort of thing happens on a regular basis. We're making a mountain out of a mole hill here..........

I know of 2 sacked and neither fit this profile. One was a probie who had a bad case of anal glaucoma and the other got his job back. If You're eligible for ALPA representation, I think it would be very hard for the company to actually terminate you permanently. This is of course assuming you don't knowingly do something careless and wreckless. And even in that case you'd have a good shot of getting back on the line.

P.S. apparently 2 washed out of latest new hire class (CRJ side) after what was rumored to be 16 sims

Thanks. Typing on an iPhone isn't an exact science.

Thanks. Typing on an iPhone isn't an exact science. You are correct though.

Are any details of terminations published anywhere? I think it would be very instructive to the rest of the pilot group. A real threat of termination is a pretty good motivator to change group behavior on any given matter, and it seems that the real benefits of the firings are lost if no details are published.

I heard one FO called in sick and bragged about how much he was having on a pleasure trip on Facebook.

^^^^^^^^
And was dumb enough to be "friends" with someone in the Chiefs office!

Yep, I think we should all join the expressjet Facebook page....

A lot of pilots enjoy updating their facebook status with the details of every trip they are on and "check in" at every airport they land at, not realizing that they're telling everyone when they're going to be away from home and for how long. Bad idea.. Especially when you have 890 "friends".. Man has the meaning of that word evolved...

Quit telling everyone what you're doing and just live you're life..

Is that an order? : )

cannot imagine what (PD) Xjet's cheerleader's page looks like.... *shudder* I've even had a chief pilot try to "friend" me on Facebook... clicked on "do not know this person"
