Expressjet concessionary LOA/TA out

[dnkt]

I work for XJT and I already voted NO. It's sad that we have a bunch of cowards that are willing to bend over and let management give it to them anyway they like it. They all keep using the excuse of BK and were going to lose our contract. Grow some balls you girls and stand up for your profession....

We unfortunately had 51% of our pilot group choke. The people that voted for the contract were the ones hurt most by the POS. Now they're back on reserve and or in the right seat (senior guys and very jr capts voted yes).

National is a bunch of hypocrits.

you are just figuring this out now... what planet have you been on??

Are they still tapping into your 401K contributions while the higher ups are collecting 400,000 dollar salaries on the backs of airline pilots retirement contri's??

I'm sorry but I see a glaring absence here. Can anyone tell me what kind of cut the management team has taken??

Anyone??

Hello??

The CEO took a 10% cut and all non union employees took a 5% cut and lost their defined contribution plan.

It's easy to tell everyone else that they are "lowering the bar". Now is the time for YOU - Xjet pilots - to contribute to restoring the dignity to our careers. Will you vote NO or cave in and continue to "lower the bar"?

XJT pilots have been contributing to restoring the dignity to our careers by being at the top of the 50 seat scale and adding to that with LOA8. Even if LOA9 passes, XJT captains will still be at the top and FOs will be in the top third with the overall compensation among the top of all regionals. It wont "lower the bar." Call it caving in if it makes you feel better though.

XJT pilots were all over Comair pilots for paycuts taken in BK. Guess you guys will do the same without a gun held to your head.

The point is to prevent the judge from pointing the gun to our heads to begin with.

Wow! From something like 1,000,000 to 900,000? How will he ever put food on the table? Will he still be able to pay his mortgage? Or buy his kid a Christmas present? Now on the other hand, that 5-10 percent he's stealing from the fo's who are earning 30-35 grand a year is significant, when it already takes all of what is left of that 30-35 grand after taxes just to exist!

These multimillionaire executives and upper management not only in this industry but in corporations nationwide need to be put in front of a firing squad, then strung up in the town square for all to see. Let the vultures pick at them, it will be the only time they ever served a useful purpose in their lives of excesses, overindulgence, and outright whitecollar crime! Let them rot in hell!

I was just trying to answer your question and was stating fact in the process, not opinion. By the way, the XJT CEO made less than $900k in total compensation last year. Again, just pointing out fact and not opinion.

Come on Nevets. Ream took a 10% pay cut! Woopee. That's just like the dignity and respect mantra a certain other airline preaches to fool the masses. It's ridiculous.

Do you realize that certain FO's are actually on welfare?

Fact is if this LOA passes Xjet would have contributed to lowering an already low bar. Quit fooling yourself. This is caving in. IF this passes, Xjet pilots - in principle - can hold nothing over those at Mesa, Republic, etc.
